Hi, were the tyres of choice of the Rabobank pro team that rode the Epic, we did their service backup, no problems at all.

 

I used them as well, good all round performance.

hi, think it will be more dry rocky conditions(big rokcs). but there can be mud as well. Steapy rocky downhills. at the moment I have maxxis crosmark only sealant tyres. thought they were tubeless tyres but not. get so easy punctures especially sidewalls.

 

need something that stick around the corners. vredestein then sounds good. the UST maxxis ei a lot extra weight

I have stans no tubes ZTR crest Rims . Will they work on these?

Mate of mine came short on the Attekwas with flats, might be a bit soft

I had a black panther extreme as a front tyre for about a year.

It's a pretty capable front tyre that offers plenty of grip, they last long as well.

 

I currently run a kenda karma at the front with a black panther (just the regular one) at the back, and i mustsay iam not too impressed. It seems to lack grip in the important places. It's quite loosearound the corners.

But then again with a karma in front i think most tyres will feel loose in the corners.

think I will just get the maxxis crossmark lust ust tyres again.. they are a bit heavier but at least I know they last and have grip.they were on my previous bike never any problems.

they are at cw R450 per tyre. the ones I have now also maxxis crossmark but not tubeless tyres only sealant. struggling with sidewall cuts?
