I decided to replace my rip saw 2 as I wasn’t completely satisfied with it and go with the Talon 32S pre studded, Last 3 days I’ve had the chance to ride groomed trails and try it out and so far I’m very impressed with its performance, talon held good straight lines going in and out corners, corner to corner straight line traction the Talon 32S grips very very well, feels like your stuck to the trail, I didn’t find that with the rip 2.
Not sure if it’s just me but I use to find the rip2 had a howl to it, talon seems to be a lot quieter, very little to no track noise at all.
So far so good...
