Here is what seems to be an update on Conti's new tire(s) aimed at the DH crowd.

Here is what seems to be an update on Conti's new tire(s) aimed at the DH crowd. The treads have been known (link here) but this "Kryptotal" badge is a point of interest. a quick search brings up a trademark application dated November 2020, the description says "Tyres; Inner tubes for pneumatic tyres" which I think is a bit odd. Anyone know more about this?

Hmmm, I wonder if it's some sort of integrated tube. I have a set of Giant gravel/commuter tires on my early season gravel wheelset that has a thick AF integrated tube type thing between the beads. Almost like a tubular with tire beads. It's got sealant in it and it's been super tough. It's a bit heavier than tubeless but I have less issues with it and I was wondering if it would cross over at all.
I'm sure it was used 25 years ago for something else but I'd give it a try for a DH tire if it worked well.

My hope is for a solid tread pattern in black chili for the front of my enduro rig. I will have to search elsewhere if its going to be super heavy.

Shock looks different? Crank also seems unbranded (and 4-bolt?!).
I think it's a Float X based on the blue compression adjuster. Although I can't see the rebound knob, which is normally on this side, just below the compression adjuster.

It almost looks like a coil shock without a coil on it
Is the kenevo the stumpy electric equivalent? That fork looks like not a zeb, but maybe my eyes just don't work. Wonder if that means the Stumpy will eventually get the same treatment.
Kind of looks to me like a combination bracket to try different shock positions and also mount the bottle (since maybe proto frame doesn’t have mounts?) but idk

Kenevo SL is the Enduro
Levo (SL) is the Stumpy of sorts
You nearly have to look twice that the above is an eeb, Spec have really slim lined those chonky boi's.
Good eye for the Reverb. The fork is a Zeb, right? Still the old one, doesn't have the vent valves the FA stuff (and the 2022/23 chassis will have). And it does look like a Float X.
Unless it's something completely different?
As for the links, my first thought was Cascade components.

I don't think it's a Fox shock. Maybe it's a new Rockshox's prototype? The bike is fully kitted with Sram.

What’s wrong with the Kaiser? For a front tire for enduro it’s quite good imo. I ride them with cushcore xc on my hardtail.
I actually liked that one a lot in the dry, but I never found it great in the wet unless it could dig into a bit. They nearly killed me in Whistler once on wet, slick hard pack where a dhf/dhr would have held better and the corner knobs got weird/slidy on slick root steps because they were further apart. But in the dry, damn that tire could hold a line at speed.

Tbf to continental they have one of the best intermediate tires and mud spikes available. Though the baron could use a heavier casing for racing.
Really my issue with conti is the construction while fine for trail riding had significantly more minor failures than maxxis or schwalbe particularly when it comes to burping air.
Hoping this “korpetal” tech is possibly meant to fix that. Conti has the best rubber for a guy on a budget in my view and I’m a fan of their tread patterns particularly the cornering knobs. If they can get their construction to match the competition and offer their gravity treads in both dh and enduro casing they will have an awesome mtb program.

Nothin wrong with the kaiser, I rode it all of this season. It does leave a bit to be desired in terms of braking over loose terrain. Great dry/ hard pack tire though.

speaking of budget tires, i'm curious to see some longer term reviews on the new Delium tires.

Can't speak for long term yet, but I was gifted a Rugged and a Steady, both in All-Round construction, and I've been pretty happy with them. I've only had them on a few trails, but the trails are FULL of sharp rocks, some flat corners, and some tech features with hard g-outs. 22F/24R PSI with Tannus tubeless inserts, and no complaints. The Rugged isn't the fastest rolling tire, but the grip is predictable and consistent. The Steady definitely rolls faster, but not sure I'd say it's a fast roller. It's been tough enough so far, but I'm also curious how they'll hold up long term.

How do you like your mud tires from Conti?
Maybe I have been lucky but I am yet to experience any burping or leakage on my kaisers. the black chili does seem to be a bit harder than Maxxis but I think they feel just as good as maxxgrip on slippery stuff. might be an unpopular opinion...
