DieselnDust Posted February 20, 2020 Share Fantastic, looking forward to the feedback. i picked up a pair of the Booster Pro 29x2.4seems a bit narro for a 2.4 but wider than the 2.2 Scorpion S I have fitted currently. Weight is 713gr for one tyre the other is 723grso slightly heavier than the Scorpion S but more volume. Sounds like a good balance so far.rubber feels about as soft as the Scorpion so I'm expecting similar grip when new but the tread is somewhere in between the Scorpion S and M.Need to pick up a bottle of Enduro seal tonight and then they're on the bike for the weekend and MTB Challenge Danger Dassie and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted February 20, 2020 Share If memory serves, back in the day's of of 26'ers being the norm you used to rock on "Killer Bee's"? That's correct. Still have them hanging in the garage. Rubber is probably rock hard and the rear is ****edThey were quite superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie600 Posted April 15, 2020 Share I'm currently using Schwalbe Nobby Nic's 2.35 front and rear given that they came with my new MTB. Although the grip is phenomenal, the rolling resistance is super high and my plan will be to use them during winter. I'm as such looking at utilising either a Vittoria Barzo / Mezcal III combo or alternatively, the new Schwalbe Racing Ray / Racing Ralph combo, both setups in 2.35 sizing. Any opinions or experiences with these specific tyres - I'm mostly riding XC type of routes with the odd light trail excursion madness thrown in to keep things excited. Given that most of the riding is done in the forest, there are the odd tree roots and rocks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral of the story - the Racing Ray / Racing ralph combo in tubeless format is a damn fine combination! DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnavel Posted June 15, 2020 Share Moral of the story - the Racing Ray / Racing ralph combo in tubeless format is a damn fine combination! Would love to try this combo, but with the eye-watering price tag, I think I shall stick with my Barzo / Saguaro combo - been very happy with this.

Super Sywurm Posted June 16, 2020 Share My new bike came with Maxxis Ikons. I had Crossmarks for a while now, but I kind of like the new Ikons for XC riding. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Sywurm Posted July 16, 2020 Share Well, sidewall cut on my rear Ikon. Going to try a new combination, Crossmark 2.1 at the rear and Ikon 2.2 on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
