Strengths: Grippy over dry rocks, semi wet roots, fast rolling, confidence inspiringWeaknesses: Will update soon if anyBottom Line: Here's my street cred on some of the tires i have tried and tested before writing this review. Maxxis Minions DHF and DHR 2.35 SP Super tacky, Minion DHF 2.5 Exo 3c, DHF DH 2.5 3C, Larsen FR 2.4 SP Super tacky, Ardents 2.2, WTB weirwolf 2.3, prowler max 2.3, Kenda Nevegals 2.3 DTC, SB8 DTC, Michelin AT 2.35, Intense 909 AM FRO 2.35, Geax Lobo Loco 2.3 TNT, Conti Rubber Queen 2.2 BC, hutchison Pythons 2.3 NG, just some of the 32 different ones i have tried over the past 5 years.
I have always love the minions dhf and nothing less. but these tires, were surprising. Really surprisingly good. I was truly impressed. So far i had 4 rides on them. each ride with technical climbs and descend. faster than the minions, grips and corners where the minions would wash, these wouldn't. I havent found the breaking point on them yet. I need more time on it to truly truly give it 5 chilis, but u know, once u like a certain tire, the mental barrier to praise another is still hard. across cake mud, the tires didnt slow down as much as the DHFs and didn't cake up much after. these tires have been so impressive, i did think for a moment they will be a winner against the DHFs. oh and i ran them at 40 psi with tubes instead of tubeless and at the high psi, i was so surprised at the traction and control i got. i run my tires usually between 28-35 psi across all terrain and weather condition. So folks, i think this may be a good winner tire at least for me. I recommend it highly. tire rebound was comfortable. it was smooth and not jittery.
I have heard good things about the Hans Dampf. that will have to wait till the next pay day at least.
