My new favorite front tire
Rating:
The Good
This is so much better than the DHR2 up front regarding grip and rolling speed. It feels every bit as grippy as the Assegai but with much better rolling speed. It is also very quiet on the trail and pavement.
The Bad
I had a very tough time getting this guy mounted. Once mounted, it would not seat with a blast pump. So I decided to do the tube trick where I seat the bead on one side and try to get the other side to seat using a blast pump. However, unseating the bead proved to be tougher than mounting. Long story short, the tube method worked.
Overall Review:

Tough to mount and seat--and I am not going to deduct any stars because of it--but worth the effort.

The Good
Outrageous grip, sturdy build top to bottom, still grippy and soft enough to lean over but not squirm.
The Bad
Life destroying to install. Can't imagine doing it with cushcore but good news is you probably won't need it. Less common to find in stock/on sale.
Overall Review:

Installation kerfuffle aside, I wouldn't want to run any other tire on my bikes. Super sturdy construction and great all around feel for mixed terrain. Grip when you need it, rolling speed when you need it. And so damn tough you probably won't even run cush core. Just consider paying the bike shop to install them. Unless you have a bead seater tool...
