T-Bob Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 just beware - teh Ibex is good, but show it a wet root and its feet go out from under it faster than a russian hooker. It's also very pressure sensitive. I'm running an Ibex on on my tranny and it's great. I run it about around the 18 - 20 psi and work form me. Was looking at the Butcher or a Bronson for the 650b. Any thoughts as an alternative to just popping off another Ibex?

The only one to really assault the top of the rung that the Magic Mary inhabits.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Continetal Der Kaizer Apex ProtectionI've read VERY good things about that tyre. Also - there was a group test by (I think) Enduro MTB magazine, recently. Conti came out tops, but the best performing tyre was the MM. It was let down because it was paired with a PaceStar Rock Razor in the middle of the muddy season. So the combo got marked down.

My new bike came fitted with the Continental Der Baron Apex Protection and the grip in the mud/slop/moist loam is absolutley insane. Never experienced that level of grip before in those conditions. That being said, I don't think they'll be great on hardpack/loose-over-hardpack as the knobs are quite widely spaced. The Kaizer has tighter spacing and should suit drier conditions better.
