Reviews
I use this tire as an all around trail and XC race tire. It's EXO sidewall protection is a must where I live due to the sharp rocks that litter our trails. The weight is not super light, but it is very respectable given the sidewall protection, which to this point has never let me down. The wear of the dual compound is much better than the 3C which seems to show signs of degradation within 3-4 rides. I love the looks of the tanwall as well.
Switched to a pair of Rekons after 2 seasons on minions. I immediately noticed the speed boost. I loved the DHF and Minion pair but it dragged a bit on hard pack. I knew I'd be giving up some traction but seemed to have hit a limit on Strava times. Put these on and was hitting a few PRs for the summer. Definitely could not be as aggressive as I was, especially on tight non bermed corners. No surprise I suppose. Makes me wonder if there is something between Rekon and DHF for the front tire. For now I'll enjoy these until it's time to replace.
Fast rolling
Light weight ish
Went with the 2.6 WT to help float through the dry Michigan summer.
I purchase these tires on my cross-country mountain bike to give better traction in the dry loose conditions of Southern California. These tires have exceeded my expectations! They have a great grip on the dry conditions and they are very lightweight, and roll fast. I am running a tubeless set up with them and they mount on my wheels very easily.
