Anyone use them?

Griffus-rear-tan-1170x780

Not a tan wall debate please 🤣

I like the look of them for a build I have in mind. They seem to get decent reviews for anything but the worst slop. What are they like on wet roots etc?

Not had the specific tyre you're on about, a DHF alike tread. But have had Toro and a discontinued intermediate tyre. Both were good.

They have their own stupid naming conventions for compound and casings like the majority.

Eldest has them on his Rocky Mountain Altitude.
He thinks they're easily a match for the previous tyres he has owned including Michelin Enduro, Magic Mary, Minion and Assegai. Not as draggy as the Michelin's, easily as grippy as all of them.

I have been using them for over three years now, they have been fantastic for me. As you say not as much bite in the deep muck as some, but to be honest I try and avoid that. Great grip on wet roots/rocks, nice and strong sidewalls, easiest tubeless setup of any brand and supple bead making them really easy to pop on.

On the big bike got a 2.4 2x66 on the back and a 2.5 1x66 up front, on the fast bike got a Kraken 2.3 on the back and a Griffus 1x66 2.4 up front, although when that wears out it will be replaced by their new WYRM because it's officially *downcountry ready*

They have also travelled about 11,000 miles less than nearly all other tyres, being made in France n all that.
