Since this is a personal purchase, I won't categorize this article as "News!"

Quite the fancy box.
Because it comes boxed,
there's a warning not to use a box cutter or knife to open it,
and they've apparently stopped wrapping it in plastic.


The 25C model is spec'd at 220g, and my scale fluctuated between 219g and 220g,
so I managed to snap a photo at the 219g mark.


↑The label design has changed too.


With the old model, there was tread pattern all the way to the sidewall—
in places where you'd never lean over that far anyway
and it didn't contribute to water drainage—but


with the new model, the sidewall has been thinned down so much
that you can clearly make out the casing weave underneath.
