Thinking of changing tyres on my dune r. Currently running dhr2 and an assegai but find the assegai isn't great for shedding mud and isn't great on wet roots and rocks even in maxxgrip compound.

Thinking is swapping to schwalbe albert and a magic Mary radial. I read lots of reviews which all state grip is better but whats its like for rolling resistance on hard pack or road transitions when racing enduro? Its a light emtb with a max of 650wh battery with the extender so not wanting to swap too much range

Ran that combo through this past winter and didn’t notice much if any extra rolling resistance over anything else I’ve used on my usual riding of woods linked by roads and bridal ways, normal bike with 1500m vert regularly

Been using both with radial casings as front tyres recently. The Mary had serious drag even at 29 psi but the grip & feel was insane. Albert felt like a lot less drag when I switched to it but still more than a Maxx Grip Assegai I'd say. Has less feel but still has silly amounts of grip at 28psi
