vs
Tires Maxxis or Kormoran
Ridden both for XC racing and I have come to prefer the specialized tires over maxxis. I personally like to run ground control T5 upfront with fast track t5 in the rear as my base for my local trails and most race courses ( mid Atlantic area US) . If the course is hard pack and not super technical I’ll run fast track upfront with fast track or renegade in the rear. My I also found to get I got pinch flats more often on maxxis or side wall cuts through rock gardens. This is completely a personal preference but I’ve also felt more in control of the bike with specialized tires I mentioned
Pros: more in control
Cons: pinch flats more often
I have also ridden both. Like pretty much everyone else here said, it’s a matter of personal preference. I had a lot of problems with the 120 TPI Maxxis XC tires where I live because we have a lot of sharp rocks. I have been using the 60 TPI rekon race tires for the last couple of months and they have been great.
Pros: they have been great
Cons: problems with tires
I ride a Maxxis Aspen up front and a Specialized Renegade in the back. Both are very fast rolling and I like the Aspen better than the Specialized Fast Track up front.
Pros: very fast rolling
In my experience I have had way less flat tires switching from specialized to maxxis tires. Fast trak and ground controls were super unreliable for me. I’ve used maxxis rekon, ardent, ikon, and aspens. Will never go back to spec tires.
Pros: less flat tires
Cons: super unreliable
Não tens nessa lista, mas os Maxxis ME3 também são boa opção. Tive em três carros e não tenho razão de queixa
Pros: boa opção, sem queixa
I have Maxxis Razors Mt on my truck. Great in the snow, mud, and quiet, no drone on the hi-way.
Pros: great in snow, mud
Cons: no drone
Crossmark grips better than Ikon in wet conditions
Pros: better grip in wet
Assegai MaxxGrip is a lot, but awesome on loose over hard and great on everything else except mud.
Pros: awesome on loose over hard
Cons: a lot
I LOVE the aggressor but I agree that punchy technical climbs are its weak point and will often spin out.
Pros: rolls fast
Cons: weak on technical climbs
Avoid Maxxis tires, two tires got bulges in the sidewalls after 2 stages.
Cons: bulges in sidewalls
