Put a stock notification on them here with the UK distributor: https://cambriantyresb2b.co.uk/Catalogue/Mountain/Kryptotal-Front-M7
When you receive it, wait a couple of weeks for them to appear at retailers at hopefully lower prices.
or buy from Bikeinn, bought F&R for fitting later in yr
does bikeinn allow postage to the uk? no customs etc like r2/bike24 used to under 135 euros?
good shout on the stock notification
Woohoo. My DH front super soft argotal turned up yesterday. Only 6 months after ordering!
I’m a convert, 2.6 Argotal/2.4 Kryptotal-r through winter then 2.4 Kryptotal-f/r since.
All have been the enduro/soft versions and been impressed. Predictable, roll fast, sensible weight, seem to wear at a sensible rate.
Out of interest had anyone tried a Kryptotal-f front and rear?

Yes mine are now in the hands of RM

No however I was planning to, to replace DHR2 which I use as a summer front and winter rear.
From what I have read (including Blister) and heard:
- Front has a smoother transition from centre to edge
- Rear is a squarer, so side knobs engage at shallower lean angles
- Rear has a firmer cornering hold
- Rear clears mud better
- Rear rolls "even better" but gives up some braking bite

In the comments at the bottom of the Blister article are rolling resistances, from a Bike Magazin lab test:
No mention of Xynotal but must be better...
19W Kryptotal F Trail Endurance
21W Kryptotal R " (maybe the F/R numbers are the wrong way round?)
25W Dissector Exo MaxxTerra
28W Assegai "
29W DHR II "
29W Shorty "
(and more)
Thay entire test looks to be wrong way round.
I think it's some basic rolling barrel test, so probably not accurate enough for small differences in watts. I'd trust it on Contis - Dissector - other Maxxis though, as it's consistent with reviews and things people on forums say.
The rest from the comments (I think there were more in the test, but that's not free to view):
32W DHRII DD MaxxTerra
34W Kryptotal R Enduro
36W Kryptotal R DH Soft
40W Kryptotal F DH Ultra Soft
50W DHR II DH MaxxGrip
52W Assegai DD MaxxGrip
Don’t think I could live with the logos not being opposite each other!
Maxxis tyres are the same, but it's less noticeable because there's a lot more details about casing and compound etc. following the model name. Still, doesn't make it right!
