Anyone here got any time on these? Thinking of trying one for the rear of my 29er

I live in FL and have a couple months on them and they been great.

I was told they won't be available for 29ers till the end of March at the earliest.

I would like to know the weight of this tire, in the 29" size. Anybody have a proto or something??

 

[gsxr1600]

Mine are on a 26" im not sure how much they weight but they seem heavy.

Exactly what I'm worried about. Anything over 650 grams or so, I'm no longer interested.

 

[gsxr1600]

Someone said the 26" weighed 640 grams

my guess is less than 650g

there are 11 versions of the tire in 26," including wire bead and UST, which are likely heavier than either of the 29er versions. any clue as to which version the someone who said that was talking about?
for example:
26" 2.25 Racing Ralph UST - 725g
29er 2.25 Racing Ralph Tubeless Ready - 585g

I'm hoping that is the weight of the UST wire bead version

I'm really hoping the sidewalls are decent with a weight under 600 grams. That would be on par with the Maxxis Ikon and Racing Ralph (similar tires with similar tread from what I can tell).

there is a lite version which i don't think is available yet but the typical 26" DCT folding is between 620g and 650g. bit of a brute really.

if the the lite version was to come in at close to 500g then it would pair quite nicely with a kozmik lite on the rear, especially for florida trail riding.

as it stands i'm more generally inclined to roll on racing ralphs but i've also had a lot of good luck with michelin xcr's - a/t on the front and dry2 on the rear. wish the michelins weighed a bit less but work well and roll almost on par with the ralphs.

It is a DTC wire bead

It is a DTC wire bead

weird. on the website all the wire beads are stick-E or RSR (race stick-E).
2.35 or 2.5?

 

[gsxr1600]

2.1 its the tire that comes on the rz120, mine says dtc wire bead

 

[gsxr1600]

Here it is

gotcha. OEM tires don't play by the rules. :thumbsup:

It's a very round profile tyre - even less of a shoulder on it than the SB8. Looks like it would be a decent rear for hardpack and moderately loose conditions but for myself I'd never run it on the front.

There's a folding 2.1 DTC version at our LBS - It weighed 700 grams! I'll stick to Schwalbes and Continentals.

26 x 2.35 DTC Folding=668g on my scale.

29er version listed as 746gms on the packaging.

I've been running one on the rear of my 5 Spot with a Blue Groove on the front. I have to say I'm liking it as a rear better than the SB8. Traction hasn't been an issue and it's really predictable at the limit. I'm looking forward to wearing it out and trying the 2.35.
