Hi,
Pretty new to the world of MTB but have been raising my game over the past 6 months, fitness technique etc comming on nicely thanks to lots of encouragement from local club.
Got to the point where I can push quite aggressively but having trouble finding a good summer front tyre so looking for suggestions.
My bike is a Lapierre X Control and I live in the Calder Valley/Kirklees area, so rides range from open Moorland runs to tight twisty steep single track.
I love the bike and yes it’s a little twitchy as it’s set up for XC, but to be honest I like it that way. Found a great winter/mud set up with a Storm Control up front and Trailraker in the back.
But have lost the front regularly in the current dusty loose conditions when pushing on downhill, on my summer tyres. 😯
Any suggestions?
Have tried Kenda Nevagal Stick e, Continental Race King (OE with bike) and Maxxis Ignitor.
Cheers 🙂
