Our new DMR Moto Digger is designed to get the power down in looser and softer trail conditions. The sharp edged, Motocross style tread blocks are profiled to dig deep and find grip where other tyres lose it. Staggered shoulder blocks that wrap round the tyre, give powerful high speed, low angle cornering. Dig?

Strengths:

Bike Setup:
transition double set up simple for lot of good play.
Bottom Line:
i use this on the front of my bike and the moto on the back. i ride lots of street and hard pack dirt jumps. sometimes i even take her dh riding. and other than realy wet slime like dirt or moldy wet dirt these tires hold up and stick there lines. and both of them seem to be everlasting since they show little wear after lots of street and dh dj riding.
i also want to try this as a dh tire for a fast rolling fast peddeling rear tire on my bottle rocket. i think it should work great.

Similar Products Used:
jesus, what not? from the top of my head : highrollers ,holyrollers (worst tyre I've ever tried), Tioga Comp X and Factory MX bmx tyres, tioga dh tyre, maxxis mofo, Conti Diesel, Dirt monsters.
Bike Setup:
blk mrkt Mob, 70mm Fox f-series, ss, lotsa xtr,Hope Pro II/XM 719 rear wheel, Flybikes/XM 719 front wheel etc.
Bottom Line:
I've been running this tyre on the front since it came out; I love it and will never buy another tyre for allround relatively dry weather; it grips really well especially in a bit loose, sandy conditions and on hardpacked 4x or bmx tracks and trails. Breaks loose very predictably and isn't even that bad in the wet although it tends to clog when riding in the mud.
I'd say it's worth the 5 flaming beans easily.

Strengths:
Very fast tires over both roads and trails. Though classified as "Dirt Jump" I use them for singletrack and freeride. I will never go anywhere else for tires from now on.
Weaknesses:
For me it was the most difficult tire to seat on my wheels...EVER!!
This tire is not for Weight Weenies....HEAVY!!

Azonic Big Drop Saddle, Rockshock Reba Race, Suunline V3 pedals, SRAM X5 gearset, Shimano XT 775 hubs on Mavic EX729 rims, everything else is stock.
My bike is heavy and I love it
Bottom Line:
BEST TIRE FOR THE PRICE!!
I run them on roads during the week and take it to the trails on the weekend. This tire as SLOW wearing. They are everything I could ever ask for in a tire.
NOT A WET TIRE
I would NEVER use these in mud or wet conditions because the knobs are so close I can imagine alot of mud getting in there.
