Tires Maxxis or Triangle
I really like the DHR as a front tire. I run it F/R sometimes. It has a slightly faster feel, good braking traction, enough bite to lay it over hard.
Excellent tire tread. But I recommend DD or DH casing instead of exo +, depending on the skill of trails you are planning to ride and how hard/advanced rider you are.
Exo is too light of a sidewall. On the front go minimum with the new exo+. Grip wise the Assegai or dhf front or good bit Assegai rear is draggy and makes a difference on the high speed jump lines. I’d go dhr2 rear in the dd casing with a liner.
I ran Exo for a year and ride on trails littered with basalt which is known to have very sharp edges, never had an issue with sidewall slicing.
EXO is plenty for XC and most trail riding IMO.
I run Exo casing and have had zero flats or issues. Had over 60 rides on the last pair. Would recommend
I run exo casing on my dhrii & haven’t had any punctures
Something XC like Maxxis ardent race or rekon race
I LOVE the aggressor but I agree that punchy technical climbs are its weak point and will often spin out.
I fitted a Maxxis 2.50 WT DHF to my i25 rims. It squirmed and rolled like nobody’s business and cornering was downright scary. I doubt things will be much better on an i28 rim.
