I prefer to run no tires for best rolling speed.

Good job guys. You're really filling a YouTube niche that other 'online' bike shops are totally missing out always informative and always entertaining!

This and your similar video describing Schwalbe products should be considered a public service to the general mountain biking community. Absolutely awesome description of the merits of each, and when they are used. Super helpful and essential understanding in wading through the myriad Maxxis and Schwalbe options. Thank you!

Dhf in the front! Aggressor dd in the back🤘

I have Maxis Ardent 2.25 on my 29" XC bike and love it. Does it all for a bike like that and provides good traction on most of the terrains.

Running a Minion DHF on the front and a High Roller 2 on the rear of my Giant Reign, fantastic performance over lots of different terrain and never had a puncture since going tubeless, great tires...

[siriosstar]

There's an advantage to being an old and tired MTb rider, you no longer care about details. Any tire will do, because i rarely get up above 30 KMH . 😜

[michael]

So much solid info in this video. I know a lot more now about Maxxis tires than I did before.

[boozelala]

Used to have Minions, but now I'm on High roller 2's, and have to say, works perfect in most conditions and I'm loving them!

This is the exact video I was looking for, Thanks!!

I just bought a bike and I’m pretty sure the guy put too small of a tire on because it doesn’t seat properly on either rim and I ended up popping my tube right at the top of the trail and had to walk the rest of the way. (Of course it’s the one time I didn’t bring my tools on the trail) anyways thanks for the very awesome video.

Just stopped in a few weeks ago on our spring break vacation. Great show room and courteous staff (gave me a t-shirt too). You guys rock and great video.

[Coerced]

DHF 3C 2.6 front and DHR II dual 2.4 rear, loving it!

[dreamingdust]

I had 5 flats on my racerking 2.2 and i wanted to make a bullet proof tire so i cutted the side walls of the tire and kept only the knobs surface ..then i glued it (knobs facing up) in the interior of a Kenda Kinetics, i knew that i wouldn t find a tire thick like that so i made it myself, i love it!

[GKHNGKR]

I have the 2.2 ikons on my giant, definitely light weight and very good for crosscountry/trail rides.

[johnwilkins]

Great explanation, I just blew my stock tire or my Roscoe, put a dhr on rear, honestly can’t believe the difference I feel. Also running higher pressure, but definitely faster yet stable on corners. I’m not a small guy either so control helps!

[evansmiles]

Here in Pennsylvania there is everything to dusty loose stuff to extreme technical rock gardens to loamy flow, we have it all, so i ride a DHR in the front and a DHR 2 in the back.

[rockcity]

Just wrapped DHF & DHR II onto Stuntjumper. Excited to test the combo out. Initially went with Aggressor in rear.

[TheRadar]

I run a Maxxis Ardent 29x2.3 in the front and a Continental Trail King 29x2.3 in the rear. For the trails I run(Kettle Moraine) here in Wisconsin, I really dig that tire set up.

I'm glad Worldwide Cyclery is back.!!!
