I'm after a new front tyre as my minion burped in a crash a couple of weeks ago and is now buckled , most of my riding is in the N Wales trail centres so i need tough tyre that doesn't cut too easily .
Observer rather than user perspective here. View to date is that they are pretty tough (have been used on rocky trails), seals are good, but be warned they size up BIG if you have any clearance issues.
Have heard at least one person rave about them.
Been running them since last summer - easiest sealing/set up I've tried (using the WTB TCS rims). Not had a single issue since fitting them. Great grip on pretty much all types of terrain/weather and roll surprisingly fast for how they look. Wear down a bit but grippy so guess that goes hand in hand. 2.1 is about same as a Maxxis High Roller 2.3.
are you running them front and rear hepstanton?
I've had one on the front of my Orange Alpine since late spring and it has been faultless.
Just had one fitted on the front (2.3) and a wolverine (2.1) on the back. Only done one ride to date on damp roots and tyre held very well - easily the same as the Minion. Have heard only good news about these tyres.
Jury is out on the wolverine though - it was purchased with dry trails in mind and did struggle somewhat on the roots.
I didn't fit them butI have heard that they are easier to fit than other tubeless tires.
That's sorted 2.1 on the way
Cheers people
2.1 on front and 2.3 rear running on Easton havens and wheels have performed flawlessly....excellent purchase and easy to set up!
Why the small front tyre and large rear?
Sorry wrong way round 2.3 front 2.1 rear my bad 🙁
Have tried the 2.1 and it seems grippy and fast rolling though a bit small , so might keep it for my summer front tyre to go with a semi slick rear for a fast combo
Take more than that to make you fast! 😆
