I've ran the DHF for years and currently run it, but I've ridden a few bikes with the Assegai and I think it is in every way a better, more predictable tyre than a DHF.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I put the scorpions on my wife’s 21 cx9. And they are amazing. Very smooth and quiet.
+1 to the pirelli p zero tlr rs. I use them with a latex tube and it’s really smooth and my bike feels really grounded in fast corners
They are good, however the compound is pretty soft and mine wore out in less than 2 years (~39k miles).
The "high performance" Perelli's that came with my Mustang GT became useless lumps of rock hard rubber at any temperature below 40F, despite being all-seasons. It was bad enough to be a significant driving hazard even on completely dry tarmac. Quickly switched out for Michelins.
Pirelli PZeros came stock on my Mustang GT and they were awful. They used to break loose all the time, I thought about trading the car in the first year because it handled like shit. Then I found a screaming deal on a set of Michelin Pilot Sports so I swapped them at 9000 miles. Night and day difference, it’s like a different car now.
