I’m lead to believe the Shorty is for muddy conditions?

My new (second hand) bike has them on already, all be it backwards 😎

I’m usually a high roller rear, minion front kind of guy. Will shorties ruin my next big bike weekend (FoD and black mountains) or turn me away from my trusted combo.

Bags of grip, but they are not a fast tyre.

Yes, very good. Saved my bacon more times than I care to think 😆 But there’s a tradeoff on hard stuff obviously compared to a minion.

on the rear its a bit draggy
but they really are great for muddy conditions

Take the back one off, stick a DHR2 on and you’ll be good to go.

Shorty front & minion dhr2 here

Great on anything slightly soft – not specifically mud tho

Love it

Perfect for those two venues I’d say

I hated mine but I don’t ride full mud,more rocky rooty muddy stuff and apart from the muddybits they were horrible on roots and wet rock ended up with black chill Der baron
