I'm running some wire 2.1 high rollers on my single speed
I'm looking for something a bit wider to run on my geared hardtail, from web sitesit looks like anything bigger than 2.1 is a down hill tyre - I'm only after something a little wider maybe only on the front.
Can anyone shed any light on the compound and high roller type I should be looking for to do xc and trail, not looking for downhill weight
Thanks
Single ply, 60a, 2.35" width.
job done. DH versions have dual ply sidewalls and weigh a lot more.
as steveh said, but stick a Minion on the front - very much doubt you'll regret it.
Like Steve said just a big comfy grippy XC tyre
Ot Advantage 2.25, which are bigger
The Kenda Nevegal fills a very similiar role too, their 2.1 is very comparable except that it actually measures 2.1, so it sits between the 2.1 and 2.35 Highrollers. Not that there's any reason to change, highrollers are ace too.
cheers fellas, much appreciated
they also do the same tyre with a kevlar bead if you want to save a little weight
The 2.35 High Rollers are only classed as DH tyres by Maxxis due to being wider than 2.1s. They aren't really that big and the kevlar bead Maxxpro versions are actually really quite light at under 650g each.
They're very good tyres in that size and make a good compromise between DH style tread patterns and light weight pedally tyre.
Sorry to butt in on this post but looking for a 2.35 UST version but resonably light,LUST? Also what durometers does this model come in?
Thanx Max
We sell the 2.35 High Roller LUST. They're 62A so slightly harder than Maxxpro.

Thanx for the info! I will check those out! Do you know the weight of this tyre?
Thanx Max
what steveh said but with kevlar bead
