Well, it's here....the BFG Rival-S. Apparently "officially" announced last week. It doesn't replace the Rival, apparently, but is an additional model which is interesting. TW200 still. Does this mean that there are some conditions for autox where the original Rival is still better? I doubt it. Perhaps for track use it would last longer hence they kept the original compound/design on the market for now?
