Better as a front tire for me
The Good
Deep knobs ensure good traction. I moved it to the front on my trail bike and got good results. It seems to plow through softer sand (which somehow made its way on to my local trails) better than the DHR2 in the front. The 2.4 Kryptotal Re looks a little bit wider than the 2.4 WT DHR2. Next spring when I visit Big Bear, I may move it to the back wheel again and pair that with a Kryptotal front. For some reason, my particular Kryptotal was easier to mount and seat than the Xynotal, which was soul-crushing.
The Bad
I bought it for the rear wheel. It felt draggy compared to a well-worn DHR2 and a new Xynotal, which I found to be very fast rolling with good grip. It's also a bit heavier than a DHR2 in the EXO casing.
Overall Review:
I found it to be a better front tire than rear. It could serve as a reminder that I need to get into better shape.
