vs
Tires Maxxis or COMFORSER
I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.
Pros: better traction overall
I’ve ridden both for many years. The DHF was designed and made when tires were 2.3 wide. As the front tire has generally moved to a 2.5 width the space between the centre and side knobs opened up quite a bit and there is now a vague area of less traction at certain lean angles before you get onto the side knobs.
Pros: traction at all angles
Cons: DHF is lighter
Assegai is my favorite front tire but it is a little slow rolling. If you don't mind that then there aren't many better front tires.
Pros: many better front tires
Cons: little slow rolling
I have ridden the DHF exclusively since getting my bike. I fell in love with the grip when cornering, literally feels like the bike is on rails. I have never lost the front tire in any conditions.
Pros: grip when cornering
well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!
Pros: very high quality
The only thing I’d add is I’d suggest them in Maxxspeed, but they are only available in 2.35. Rode them front/rear last season and they were excellent.
Pros: they were excellent
Cons: only available in 2.35
I've been really impressed recently with the Conti tires (Cross Kings or Race Kings depending on how XC you want to go with it), specifically the ProTection versions with the Black Chili compound. Coming from Maxxis stuff I've been surprised by the amount of grip they have given how fast-rolling they are, at least for my local conditions (New England, so rocks, roots, more roots, a few roots, some roots, roots, rocks, roots, some more roots, a lot of roots, and roots.)
Pros: amount of grip
Cons: hard to find
Get a new tire. But heads up maxxis are know to have wobble. My new set wobble a small bit but still shred
Pros: still shred
Cons: known to wobble
I ride Ardents for XC and some light trail riding. They're good tires until you hit mud and wet rocks. I recently tried a faster rolling tire but felt I went slower because the grip was drastically reduced. I think they're a good all around tire but they don't excel at any one thing.
Pros: good all around tire
Cons: don't excel at anything, bad in mud
My maxxis tires usually last max 350miles in rear. My last dissector neede to be ditched after ~150-200 miles since knobs ripped apart.
Cons: knobs ripped apart
Mileage: 350 km
