I wouldn't call it dumbed down. It has a lower TPI casing, and a double PolyX breaker rather than Vectran. Still has Black Chili tread though, so it is probably a durable tire that isn't too slow. The only tires I'd be inspired to buy and test would be promising race tires... or maybe everyday tires with a potential of being fast and cheap. If I want something a bit slower but cheaper and smooth riding, the Rubino Pros are hard to beat. PBK had those for $22 recently.
I've been racing crits on a set of GPs for half a season and have really been impressed by them. But all prices being equal you would go for the Rubino?
