Ikon rear - Forecaster front?

[Williepotch]

Would this be a good option on my Cannondale Scalpel? The Racing Ralphs it came with was starting to loose grip .On the extreme down hill corners of the Karoo to Coast I had to do some major braking before even atempting to take a corner . I am a heavy rider at 110kg.(for now) Can get them at a very good price.

Rather go for Ardent up front. I have Forekaster on the front and they are not very grippy on dry loose terrain, it's more of an (Cape Town) winter tire.

Ikon rear - Ground Control 2.3 front

[Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Yeah Ikon rear, Ardent front. Can also get both in Gumwall for +3 to looks and +1 to grip (at a cost of -1 to durability)

[Williepotch]

Standard Ardent or the Race version?

Maxis Rekon front, Ikon back ...

[BaGearA]

Yes

This. In super gravity casing especially at 110kg. Stop buying lightweight tyres with shaite grip characteristics

Barzo at the front and saguaro at the back. I dont know why people like the ardent. Heavy, slow and the grip is nothing to write home about.

[JohanMalan]

Yes, excellent combo.

I have been using it for a while now. Ride it on rigid SS and full sus.

Forekaster has A LOT more grip than Ardent, use a 2.35 on the front.

It weights exactly the same as Ardent race 2.35 and Ikon 2.35.

Especially good in the Cape for loose over hardpack.

Run it at pretty low pressures.

To look like a hiace taxi yes

Yesterday chucked two onza ibex 2.4s on my bike. Probably overkill,but they can take a hit. Grips like baby **** in a fleece blanket.

I had this and changed to an old Hans Damph on the front and have Forecaster ready for when it wears out. I found the Barzo drifts badly in loose dry stuff. I must say that it is a predictable, gradual slide that one can try and control. It just doesn't let go suddenly.

Until you lean enough then the **** ends up in your bip, and the stain in your baggys

Yup. Horrible tyres. Grip for 2km then they're worn out and no longer grip at all.
