Maxxis Monorail

Anyone using these as a fast summer tyre? Any comments?

like a less grippy crossmark… that doesn’t seem to roll as fast.

Oh, that’s no good, what about Wormdrive then?

hollyroller 2.4, im running one on the back (youd be brave to put one on the front).

I swear it makes the bike accelerate, nothing seems to hold it back! Just dont rely on the rear bake!

I run a monorail on the front and a crossmark on the back at the moment. Monorail for the front gives better braking in loose stuff (on baked hardpack a crossmark might be better but in loose they can be a handfull), the monorail also has a more pronounced ‘edge’ to dig-in when leaning the bike. It might be slightly slower than crossmark but still faster than an allround tyre.

I’ve just put them on my hardtail, I like them so far, fast rolling and very responsive, well compared to my nobby nicks.

i posted about them about a week ago do a search.
