I believe in some of his posts to the 650B forum, Kirk specifically said these were not meant to compete with the Hetre. The Pari-Motos are skinnier and lighter. They are meant for events, if that is what you do, or for nice day unloaded speed riding. The Hetres are the every day, distance, I want a great ride, don't care about being up front of everyone tire. I Have two sets of Hetres, and two sets of Pari-Motos on the way. The Hetres will get most of the work. Assuming the PariMotos live up to the promise, they will see sunny summer afternoon duty.
