My new bike has come with Assegais all round, and I want something a bit less riding-through-tar-y for the rear.
Loved the DHRII on my old bike in 2.4, so was looking at the 2.6 as a winter tyre (I like the Aggressor in dryer stuff), however 2.6 is a new thing to me and I'm concerned about vagueness in sloppier conditions.
How is it?
And anything else to consider? I'm looking at Big Betty as well.
Bike is ~150mm and came with 35id rims which I certainly won't be changing for a while.
I have the DHR 2 in 2.8 EXO, 2.6 EXO+ Maxxterra and 2.4WT EXO+ Maxxterra . They are all great and never vague in the wet.
Was looking at a 2.6 yesterday, seems to have smaller knobs than a 2.5.
There isn't a 2.5 is there? Thought it was 2.4 and 2.6?
Cheers TheGhost, just trying to find the right spec and get the stupid amount of combinations sorted in my head!
sorry, yes - was thinking DHF but seems to be the case with all the 2.6 Maxxis
I think the 2.6 Maxxis are more like small plus tyres whilst the 2.4 and 2.5 use the same moulds as the DH tyres with bigger knobs.
Gotcha, cheers. 2.4 and mud clearance it is then!
