No problem at all with grip, in fact, the grip and stability were the two things that immediately impressed. I'd say easily on a par with the Mudclaws on wet grass/mud and better on wet rock. The sole is extremely aggressive and sticky but, the biggest contributing factor to the grip IMO, is that, without a midsole it's completely flexible and deforms to mould around trail features. This is a bit like running tubeless mtb tyres at low pressure maximising tread contact with ground.
Will come back with more thoughts after a week or so and a full review on my website soon.
