whats everyone using this year?
Rons, thunderburt on rear, XR1 in Marathon and rocks.
Maxxis Ikons at the back with either Ikon/Ardent Race/the new Larsen at the front depending on conditions.
Gonna try the new Maxxis Aspen in 29 x 2.25.
Doesn’t seem to be much stock available in the UK but they are out there on some of the german sites.
Thanks,
Max
I've always liked Aspens. They're great and fast.
Currently i've gone for Maxxis Crossmark 2's on both the 29 and 27.5 for racing, i've not decided which bike i'm going to use yet but both rubber is the same anyway.
Vittoria Mezcal.
If anyone wants some Aspen 29x2.25, I have some here that are removed from new Scott Spark WC.
vittoria for the win, seem to last better than schwalbe and much easier to inflate tubeless, the Peyote is a fairly good all-rounder and can cope with some slop
Have been using RoRa for ages but I think I'll go with vittorias next, peyote front and mezcal rear seems like a good all round combo although I don't think the peyote comes in the graphene compound. (Although does that really matter?)
A barzo/mezcal is probably more of a RoRa equivalent and you can get a graphene barzo too.
I'm still on a non graphene barzo/saguaro, but will swap to mezcals once these are done.
Graphene Barzo TNT up front and when it'd drier a Graphene Mezcal TNT out back, also run non graphene Barzo's and Peyotes out back.
Best tyres I've ridden
Onza.
