92 kgs rider + Bike - 29" 2.30 Maxxis Minion Tyres - 1.5 bar rear, 1.3 front for trail riding. 1.8 rear + 1.5 front on gravel roads+tar.

 

BEST ADVICE: Tyre pressure is a personal thing, test different pressures and find the pressure that works for you.

I really like them. Using the Lite in H tread and compound. Great for marathon and xco if you're a sensitive rider. The newer XC prowall tyres should sort out the riders with less finesse or opt for the older M for Mixed terrain construction.

Grip is great

Rolling resistance is low and the tyre transitions from upright to side knobs very smooth and progressively so gives me a lot of confidence.

 

The grip also remains consistent through the tyres life as its a single compound rubber not the multi compound type like others.

Thanks... hard to find detailed reviews on them and i figured if they make good F1, car and road bike tyres the mtb ones must be top notch...

Just picked up the XC RC tyres. Will be reviewing them against the XCH and Kendall booster pro soon.
