niterider Posted July 11, 2014 Share Magic Mary is magic. Been running one up front for the last few months. Grips on everything. Not sure how it'll be in summer, but it's brilliant on the wet and slimy stuff. Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF_SS Posted July 13, 2014 Share I run HD on front and crossmark at back on my SS, which is the bike I ride 80% of the time Love the HD. Would want to run HD at back too but frame doesn't allow clearance.  HD is good for most highveld riding most of the time Edited July 13, 2014 by BAMF_SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassmonkey Posted July 13, 2014 Share Got the snakeskin version on my Jekkyl one as stock, taking into consideration I weigh 100kg I can only say that:-They offer rediculous amounts of grip, I mean I'm navigating an already tighter than comfortable turn and feel confident increasing my angle and turn to avoid a sharp rock or tree stump without sacrificing grip.-Never had a snakebite-Give plenty of "pre-washout" warning, never went from grip to slip without the mushy feeling giving you some telltale warning that you're about to bail.- are pressure sensitive as others suggest, but don't have a extremely high rolling resistance, not higher than a purgatory or a mountain king, lower than I'd expect from a 2.4 anyway. My suggestion would be that if you struggle to find a see-saw partner like me, get a set, play with the pressure untill happy, and enjoy those insane climbs without losing grip and toasting your buddies on the dh sections!

Headshot Posted July 14, 2014 Share + 1 for the super gravity casing. I have over a year on my HD SG ( about 20-30 km a week riding Tokai's Xc and dh tracks and some enduro races) as a front and still going strong. No flats, no issues, fit and forget.

Bizkit031 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Looking at the Spez site this AM and saw the new Slaugter tire looks very similar to The Rock razor,they say this is a rear specific tire but some guys are running it on the front. Anyone tried or seen the Rock razor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantRH Posted July 16, 2014 Share I saw one on a bike at Linden Cycles. Smallish square nobs down the middle (3 rows I think) with mid-sized nobs on the sides. Not as aggressive looking as the name suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as aggressive looking as the name suggests. I need to see what it looks like,I believe the Spez is similar,but one thing about The Rock razor is it's gonna be priced quite high. These tires are meant to roll fast but corner like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac Merv Posted July 16, 2014 Share Quick version , Have HD trail star upfront , HD pacestar on the rear of mt GT sensor 26er - great tyre but doesn't roll much if you looking to do race snack distance. nice for a spare set to throw on and do some tech trails and downhill stuff . had a xking on back and mountain king upfront and wasn't bad combo but now run on my 650 B a maxxis ardent on the rear and a high roller II upfront and wont look back . best combo ever !!!
