GamerD Posted June 13, 2011 Share I'm looking to replace my front ust tyre (maxxis crossmark 2.1 LUST), I need more cornering grip in loose gravel, I have looked at maxxis high rollers but cant find them locally. Would like advise on brand and model for locally available tyres. Would prefer UST. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Maxxis Monorail. Capable, affordable, long lasting. I have two mates riding that combo and they have no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted June 13, 2011 Share Have you tried shifting your body weight more forward when cornering? Does make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covie Posted June 13, 2011 Share caad I disagree the worst tire I have ever had for front grip was a monorail, its even worse than the crossmark and the crossmark is pretty damn bad. If I currently run mountainking2' s in the front with an X-king at the back, which is a totally brilliant combination, The X-king has so much grip for a medium tread tire its unbeleivable, so i might try taking of the new Mountainking and putting a X-king in front as well.

philip.maree Posted June 13, 2011 Share If you can get your hands on a Maxxis Ignitor, you would be very happy. Haven't seen them locally anywhere but use to get them from CRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquesT Posted June 13, 2011 Share Had same problem. The solution was twofold: 1) Make sure the front shock is setup properly - not too stiff and especially not too much rebound2) Geax Baro Mountain 2.1 TNT for front tyre Problem was solved.

manbearpig Posted June 14, 2011 Share Rocket Ron is working ok for me. Running the "normal" tyre as tubeless and no problems in about 800km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
