Just ran the new aka handlebars today (basically suburbs). I tested the clay compound on high bite 100% clay and medium bite dirt/clay. All I got to say is they still need some work. I love aka and everything but I was kinda disappointed in the performance. The rears have way too much side bite and no forward bite. The fronts were okay but still not as good as bar codes. But I'm sure aka will be the tire to run in the future.
