I might be lulled into complacency by how well the CH handles to not notice the tires, but they have been fine for me. I used to ride a fair amount of FSR and single track on an early 2000s CX bike (with cantilever brakes), and I am absolutely flying on the new machine. It's night and day in terms of off-road descending, with basically zero penalty on the uphill. The bike weighs 20 lbs! I am trying to find the downside (other than the indefensible cost).
