vs
Tires Maxxis or WANLI
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
My vehicles have better luck with certain Chinese brands like Wanli and Sailun than some other brands I got from Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia - like Monsta, Arivo and Accelera.
Pros: better luck
Cons: really bad
Mileage: 55000 km
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 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
Not my favorite tire but rubber and casing make a bigger difference than tread patterns. Especially in the roots and rocks. I'd take a 3c Maxxis anything over a Kenda every time.
Pros: 3c Maxxis better
Cons: Not my favorite tire
Maxxis is a shit tire company. Their quality is atrocious pretty much post covid
Cons: atrocious quality, post covid
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
