What would be the difference between a DHF 2.5 WT vs a DHF ‘Normal’ 2.5 on an Easton ARC27 rim?

What would be the difference between a DHF 2.5 WT vs a DHF ‘Normal’ 2.5 on an Easton ARC27 rim?

That only one of them actually exists! Only normal DHF 2.5s are the 26″ and downhill versions, the rest are WT even if they aren’t labelled as such.

DHF/R2 2.35 are great combo for hard riding, bike parks and uplift days. Great grip on rocks. I’m using DHF2/HR2 and Hans Damf Rear at the moment. Wanted to try HD. A good rear tyre IMHO.

For the winter I will be HR2 as they grip and clear better. Forest, mud and roots.

More grip? Run lower pressures 😉

This thread ain’t over ’till eddiebaby says so!

Now this has been bumped..  Surely the high roller 2 2.3 is a different kettle of fish to the others.

I run the minion ss rear and hr2 2.3 3c 29er on a more xc orientated bike and its suprisingly fast on the roads, faster than hd ts/rock razor combo. Its an awesome trail centre combo.

Is there a reduced knob sized dhf to compare with?

Also assuming the forekaster  is too new to be on this list, imo a forekaster 29 2.3 3c would be an absolute weapon of a tyre… but they dont make one 🙁

I broke my near new DHRII EXO 3C 2.4 (warped the casing) so I threw a 2.5 EXO 3C Shorty on the rear wheel – astounding how hard it was to push; like pedaling in porridge.  Never noticed that at all when it was up front.

So I’m contemplating a DD casing DHRII for the rear, but it only comes in 2.3. Not sure if I can get by with the smaller tyre, I really liked the 2.4 DHRII as a rear aside from the warping…

I don’t run anything gnarlier than a high roller. Most of the time it’s trail king and ardent combo on my trail bike.

No idea on the original question, but I just stuck a pair of HR2 2.4 exo on tonight, coming from some xking 2.4/2.2 racesport is hilarious, it’s like going from skating on ice, to roller skating on grass! 😆 grippy(and draggy) as hell, well chuffed!

For Maxxis my preference is DHR2 on the front, Tomahawk on the back in dry conditions.

Wet is a Shorty front, DHR2 back. Always found the HR2 really draggy and not overly good in any conditions.

I’ve now switched to Michelin and the Wild Enduro is way better than the DHR2 on the front and the Force AM is great on the back.

I think the WE will stay on over the winter too, it’s that good. Will probably go for a Wild AM on the back in the winter.

Michelin really do seem to have got it right with their new tyres 🙂

is there such a thing as a minion SS DD?? ive not seen any and the exo silkworm is still too fragile for peak rides (although its bloody quick as a rear tyre)

Got 2.5 DHF upfront and love it. Faster and grippier than HR i think.
