I've never ridden a DW-link rear end bike for any distance. I hear they're exceptional. Mine's a single pivot.
Those Sport Contact 26x1.3's work well, don't they?

Yeah.. the tires are brilliant on the road, I'm very happy with them. The rear suspension on the Racer X is actually a Horst Link, which Specialized holds the patent for.

I ride to work on a roadie and a fixie, and cant imagine going any good distance on a big heavy tyre like that.
Is it a grip thing? a rain safety thing? puncture proof?
To me, they look like a tyre for someone who is scared of a 25mm.

The tyres are what I found a little confusing.
I guess what you're saying is that its the only tyre than can handle to abuse you're going to administer?
