I wonder if we’ll get the new 2.6 tyres here or just the US??

Already listed on the UK dealer site, so yes we will.

Not in stock yet though

Good. Might just hit the right spot between 650b & b+ and fit in a wider range of frames.

Are they specifically for on-trend super-wide rims?

Specialized normally run a bit narrow I’ve found, so it’ll be just the same as a maxis wide trail or schwalbe 2.5 I imagine

The 29in and 650b 2.3 tyres seem to come up narrow, I agree.

My 26in 2.3 Butcher DH didn’t seem so bad though.

Don’t think my rims are wide enough, but looks appealing for a front tyre.
