After the ‘Horror of Penyard’ night ride this week I ditched the chubbies off my Mojo 3 and fitted Maxxis WideTrails on the same 35mm rims. 2.5 DHF front/2.4 DHRII rear. Meaured at 2.45/2.35 edge to edge. Around 10% heavier than non WT versions.

One ride so far and I was very glad of the extra clearance at the rear. They feel like my standard DHF/DHR combo. Hard to know if they are any ‘cush’ier or grippier as I’m still getting used to the bike. Started running them at 22psi, let some out of the front. Run the chubbies at 16.
I see Maxxis have now brought out a 2.6 which has 7% more volume than a 2.5 apparently. What a time to be alive 😉
