Geax Aka Pluma delivered & they look like I could put my finger through them
@295g per tyre I’m not surprised!
Or know of a better option?
Only other tyres I know of at similar weight ar Maxxis Maxxlites and they have a reputation for being like condoms too.
Any decent low tread fast XC rubber coming in at 400-450g would be better I think, going sub 400g normally puts you into the realm of either very flimsy, or very small.
I’m a big fan or Maxxis Larsen TT if you like the SB8 style lots of small knobbles but fast rolling tread, they come in at about 380g for the 1.9, 480g-500g for the 2.0 (which is bizarrely significantly bigger than the 0.1inch increase would suggest).
Some people seem fond of Schwalbe Thunder Burts, but I’ve not used them myself so can’t offer anything more other than ‘look into them’ style advice.
There are some places where going super light just isn’t worth the bother as it get’s too fragile.
