Personally I wouldn’t put either on the front, go with a stick-e, it’s a more stable tyre… DTC grips pretty well but it gets kicked off line a bit easily, it’s twangy. Not a problem on the back though.
other than in the infamous STW magazine review they aren’t really that well rated
BG is a good trail centre front
nevegal basically pants in comparison to other tyres
In terms of reviews that’s just not true… They’ve tested well in all the major magazines lately and get consistent good comments in bike tests too (other than in OEM spec). Last WMB grouptest they were a class winner I remember.
And the performance of the BG and Nevegal is so similiar i’ve no idea how you can rate one and say the other is pants, just daft IMO
