    45mm seems to be the best choice for tyre shape.

    Scraper seem good but around 680-690g actual weight

    Hugo is wider but even heavier at 710g actual weight – not a true double wall so those sidewall look vulnerable to rock dings

    Easton are coming out with the Arc45 at 675g

    Sun Mulefut 50 look like an odd construction but seem the lightest at around 615g but can’t find actual weight plus you need to add a surly thick rim strip.

    What else is there?

    I went for XM551 – 40mm internal at 595g

    Not as wide as some, but planning to use 2.8 NNs on them, so more then enough

    Cheaper than most too

    Would these work? 470g it looks like.

    Hugo user here – albeit only recently.

    a friend has been running a pair since last summer with only a 2.25” on the rear with no damage to report.

    They do seem to pump up a tyre mores than some of the others. My 2.8 TB actually looks too small for the rim (width wise)

    I’ve just ordered some WTB Asym35’s for mine. Running 3.0 tyres.

    Spoke to the guys at Cotic as well. They thought the Scraper was a little weighty and that 35mm hit the sweet spot. (in relation to the Solaris) so went on their recommendation.

    Specialized seem to be speccing 30mm internals though.
