Some think it rolls slower than a DHF, some think it rolls faster – whichever (and is suspect its surface dependant) there’s not a lot in it. Braking and cornering grip are both fantastic, it only struggling more once you’re into cut spike or full spike conditions.
I ran it with a Trail King rear last year, then 3C DHR2 at both ends, currently trying Shorty front DHR2 rear (have tried 3C and dual DHR2 on the back) and also have a Minion SS for when it dries out more. I suspect my mud set up will be Shorty 3C + DHR2 dual, intermediate DHR2 3C + DHR2 dual and dry DHR2 3C + Minion SS dual.
The Shorty and DHR2 have a nice overlap in abilities so you don’t have to keep changing tyres!
P.S. Don’t reverse it! It’s ramped for braking even as rear, not climbing.
