Missed these vids. Thanks for coming back in the long format.

It would be awesome if Greg Minnaar designs another tire and calls it the Maxxis Boobgai.

The pure grip and confidence Assegai gives on corners makes it amazing.

Update on the newest and best rear tires?

Edit: Also, whoever edits these videos and adds in the random clips is hilarious. You deserve a raise.

Maxxis Dissector 2.4" for the win!
I've tried a Maxxis DHF 2.5", DHR II 2.4", Forekaster 2.35", Rekon 2.4" & WTB Vigilante 2.3" on the front of my trail bike. The Dissector is almost as fast rolling as anything I've tried with just enough grip to keep the front in check.

I've been loving the Mich Wild Enduro for pretty much any condition from PNW loam-mud-roots to Sedona

[RoninHaz]

When I was a little kid (and even now🤣) my family would go to Costco or Sam's club and I would cry to go to the tire section to get a whiff of the new tires🤣🤣. BEST INTRO EVERR!!

I just put the Continental Kryptotal Front & Rear on this week and I LOVE them. Sort of comparable to an Assegai/DHR setup I Especially the front tyre which is very similar to the Assegai.

Running Enduro Soft on both. I would love the lighter weight and more supple feel of the Trail casing, but where I ride I just don't want to deal with any potential tyre damage and these feel plenty burly and reliable. I would probably prefer the Super Soft too, but I ride a ton and want them to last. So far I don't feel like I'm lacking grip!

The tubeless setup was also the easiest I've ever done. The tyre are such a tight fit and they just seat like a dream.

Would love to hear what you guys think of them because so far I am one happy customer.

This video was excellent. So helpful and full of good info. You guys are top notch!

Have been running the Maxxis Assegai 2.5" wide EXO tire on the front of my Levo SL for a year now; but, recently switched to the Maxxis DHF 2.5" EXO because it initiates turns better on loose over hard pack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains around Reno, NV. Use a Maxxis DHR-II 2.4" EXO+ as my rear tire. Have to give a thumbs up to the Specialized Butcher after they reformulated their rubber to T9 spec...Good tire!

Favourite I've had is the Michelin Wild Enduro, but I love to try out tires and can't wait to get my hands on the new Contis

[Rickie-]

love the maxxis lineup but once owned a bike which came with specialized tires so I decided to give them a shot. I gotta say they're not bad what so ever, but they chirp and are a lot more audible when they're at the edge of their limits. Some people might not like that but it allowed me to use my ears to determine how much harder I could push them which was a totally new and fantastic experience. I'd definitely recommend them for newer riders

[johnsierra]

Wow Jared ! Thanks for the invite! I would did all the grillin!

[playgroundchooser]

I'm a big fan of the Schwalbe Hans Dampf up front. It's bidirectional so if it starts to wear down, flip it around for at least 50% more life! 😁

[hazepheno]

Love the smell of tires. When Costco (price club) first opened up near me in the early 90s, they had many stacks of car tires in the center of the store. I'd just stand there sniffing the tires for about an hour while my parents did their shopping. I got lots of looks.

[toxicmale]

Maxis for loose over hardpack, of course.
Magic Mary for loam and mud, of course.
Big Betty rear in combination with Magic Mary front for enhanced loam and mud.
Oh yeah!

Both my boys are racing Enduro and they absolutely LOVE the Delium tires they are running on from & back. They are running the 29 & 27.5 Rugged reinforced. Say this is the best tire they have ridden. Grips better and sheds mud like no ones business. Ride mostly Southeast US some Northeast Arkansas & Colorado.

Love the bit at the end - the whole WWC crew seems cool
