Yep, running them on my EX8 and love them.

Blue Groove on front works a treat.

I use Nevegals front and rear (dual tread version as I found the StickE a little too draggy). I did try a Blue Groove up front briefly but preferred the Nevegals. Pretty good all round tyre - a little out of their depth in the mud but they're pretty good over wet roots and rocks.

great tyres for most wet/shaley/rocky terrain and dry use. Not much kop in gloopy mud though. nevegals all round or blue groove up front, not a lot of difference although the nevegals have a slightly flatter profile which i find is a bit more confidence inspiring over technical rocky ground

On the front for me, too draggy on the back.

Got them f & r here.Great in the wet on rocks & rooty stuff.Complete disaster in gloopy mud as they dont seem to clear at all.They take on the comedy appearance of those surley tyres & need to scrape the sidewalls & excess mud off them.I'm on the lookout for some alternatives.

Dual tread rear and Stick E front for me, great combination.

Only really useless in deep mud - but then so are most tyres.

Great tyres!

I have em F&R on my Ti456. Pretty draggy tyres and not too hot in mud, but they're grippy and predictable and allow me to ride faster and harder down stuff with confidence.

I generally use the DTC on the rear, as it's a fair bit faster, but the stick-e's better on rocks. And also, the slow rebound is a lot nicer on a hardtail, where the DTC can be a bit boingy. So normally I'd use the DTC on the rear but sometimes the stick-e is nice.

I found them very draggy, with fragile sidewalls.

I run them on the front and find they grip well, but they were far too draggy on the rear, I use highroller on the back now which also get comments for being draggy, but not when compared to the Nevegal stick-E

F & R with DTC on back on one bike, BG on front of other with Nev on the back. Prefer the former - seems a bit more secure and predictable. When it gets at all claggy they're replaced with Mud X's.
