The thing with the Kenda is its a square profile. Its like a traditional TT with wider center knob spacing and larger side knobs. I would think, and this is purely speculation at this point, that it may not corner as linear as the Motoz. I say this because I have run every trials tire made over the last 10 or so years. The one that stood out as most versatile and cornered the best was the Mitas ET-01, and guess what? It was stiffer and had a round profile. I'm guessing that this tire will be similar to the Pirelli MT43 at a couple PSI lower relative pressure, but with better braking, turning, and durability. Not the ultimate in sticky TT traction, but the best compromise for a woods bike in most conditions. This thing is tough, you will be able to run low pressure Tubliss and not beat your rims up or tear a sidewall. Of course I will give a real report after riding it, not for awhile though.
