TheX Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) When they were first released, they were DH casing only, and they weighed almost 1500 grams. Now that they are available in a variety of casings, compounds, and tech, they seem to be more in line. I went to the Maxxis website and compared the sizes I would use.

csmceuen Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Riding them front and rear at the moment and I am sold on them. Traction for days and they will just make me stronger on climbs right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fontarin Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I got them with my Ripmo. Looked at the weight and was pretty iffy. That was 2-3 months ago and I planned on swapping them out after a ride or two. I'm still riding them, because while they are slow, the grip is awesome. I will say they are *not* great if you ride to trails. I can definitely feel the drag on the road when I'm riding to Deception. Not something I'd run if I was riding 5+ miles to trails each way - I'd probably sacrifice the grip for something better rolling. Edit: looked up the 29er weights. Minion: TB96800300 29X2.50WT 63-622 60 FOLDABLE 1,005 3C MAXX TERRA 60 3C/EXO/TR Black MOUNTAIN Assegai: TB00163000 29X2.50WT 63-622 60 FOLDABLE 1,075 3C MAXX TERRA 50 3CT/EXO/TR Black MOUNTAIN So not much different really, though I can't remember if I have EXO+ or not on the bike right now.
