I currently have 2.3 continental vetical pros front and back and I am thinking of getting a 2.1 for the back. Does anyone have any reconmendations? I ride mostly xc and a bit of trail centre.

I would not state a width first off - where do you ride? What is the bike? How heavy are you?
What are people round you riding?Posted 4 months ago # -
Currently I don't really ride with anyone else. I mostly ride around the west coast of Scotland on a mongoose tyax hard tail. Weight depends on how much cake I have eaten recently, normally around 11 stone. Was thinking that reducing the width of the back tyre might reduce the rolling resistance.

Looking for something faster????
Hutchinson Pirhana. Very fast. Very Hard Wearing. A great 'year round' tyre.

For me, supple wins in the speed stakes over narrow....
I use Maxxis Ardents 2.25's; mrs_oab who is half my weight has Conti verticals in 1.9 flava - if I ride them I batter about all over the place. We are in central Scotland, and ride west coast a bit.
Chaps at our other centre (Ardgour/Ft William) all seem to be on Maxxis Ardents/Advantage/High Rollers - but most are skinnier than mine.
