Tires Maxxis or LASSA

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.

well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!

Eu tenho 2 Lassa, não tenho queixas nenhumas, nem agora no tempo de chuva, em que já tive a (infeliz) oportunidade de ver se seriam capazes de safar na chuva, ou seriam apenas mais uns pneus para nunca mais, não se saíram nada mal.

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.

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.

I am not a fan of ardents. They roll fast but have a habit of loosing grip when you least expect it and suck at regaining grip once they start to slide. I'm running Recons front and back and really like the set up. They roll pretty fast and are usually very predictable.

I've never heard of Lassa tires. Off brand tires are not exactly well designed and manufactured so they could just be loud as shit.
