Fluctuating between 75-83kg rider weight and will be used for trail. Heaviest use probably CYB or similar...possibly red route Antur Stiniog.

I'm assuming me Flow EX? If so, I reckon you'd be fine on Arch EX front and rear. You could go Flow EX on the back and Arch EX on the front if you wanted to play it safe.

Might be worth bearing in mind that Hope will be doing Hoops with Arch from end of Feb

Agreed. tricycles are safer.

What would you suggest for the front? 🙂

Arch Ex unless you want the width or you're a serial wheel destroyer

"-83kg rider weight and will be used for trail. Heaviest use probably CYB or similar..."
Based on that, I'd say drop Flow EX from your shortlist, keep arch ex and consider crests which are just as wide as arch ex, just lighter again

What bike are they to go on? What axle/hub standards?

@James - Probably interchange them between Ex8 and Soul, so looking for something relatively light and not going to break the bank.

Decide what width tyre you want to run and go from there.

I have arch ex's on my enduro for everything up to dh (have dh wheels/tyres for actual dh racing etc). Based on your described riding crests or arch ex will be absolutely fine.
