Did love the grip and dampening of these tyres, (DH34 front with DH34 bike park with insert rear), but found these to be too heavy for most SEQ Enduro trails as most aren't that steep and will have sections where you'll need to pedal quite a lot and this is where I felt the weight slowing me down, especially getting up to speed out off slow tight corners. I'd like these in the weight of the wild Enduro.
Agreed that SEQ doesn’t have allot of options for these tyres if riding/racing enduro but have been popular for many DH Riders and races as a brilliant Boomerang farm tyre... Still very hard to beat the popular Wild Enduro for all round versatility...
I got a bike park 34 off the back of this video, and its brilliant, not just new tyre sharpness, proper new line grip, just trying to find dh22 in 29 !

Mark Packer thanks for the sub, im loving the Michi’s, especially after being on others for soo long.. Yeah these Oakleys are fresh, they are the Double Edge model in the Race Worn finish.

Got fresh maxxgrip dhr2/dhf combo for my race, unbelievable grip!! Now cant wait to try these if they are even more grippy, how is that even possible...? Damn!
Haha, Michelin seem to be seriously switched on when it comes to creating a rubber that is extremely tacky, grippy and not so soft that the knobs roll everywhere..
@@FlowmentumMTB ahahah thats a shot against my beloved maxxis 😂 no matter even if michelin is still better/grippier I will value dhf/dhr highly. Really good combo and their performance doesnt hinder on the fact that theres an even iller option. Gonna be fun to try and check how they feel in comparison!
Nice review bro! One personal gripe I have with tire companies is proprietary names for compounds. I like to see the shore durometer number ( 40a 60a ) etc. Keep em coming 🤘🏻
Cheers bud. Yes I do agree, it is a good guide but I can’t help but think it could be detrimental to an extent. While most companies are currently using app Shore 40-44a then comes Michelin saying they are running 46A and claim more traction most will call bull. They run a Duro slightly harder on the DH range and adding the Magi or Gum-X really does work amazingly. But many will not understand the tech advantages. Hope you’re well bud.
Yes you are correct. The density of the rubber and the rebound damping of the actual compound makes a huge difference. Funnily enough, a bloke rode past me today with a set of these. I managed to stop him and give it the old fingernail test and they look the goods! Gonna try a set for sure!
Hey billy, do you still venture onto the dirt occasionally? I ask as I’m currently using the Force AM2 Tyres and I’m loving the speed and comfort they offer but being a less aggressive Tyre they dont hook up like the more aggressive DH and Wild Enduro range. I like them on my road commutes and love them on the trails.
Michał Gańczarczyk not too sure i understand your comment, I tested the DH34 tyres which are specifically designed for and aimed at hard pack trails, this is why I tested them where I did and the trails I rode are very natural.. I will be doing a test on the DH22 thres but it will be done at a different trail area that has softer loamy surfaces which are perfect for the DH22.. Thanks.
with bikepark edition will can do pedal or drag so much like maxxgrip DHR .... I try maxxgrip DHR and my legs burned and Im in very good shape and fitness and I never complain for pedalling Im use to uphill 600-900 meters in my rides!
Yes the Bike Park DH34 is designed as a slightly harder compound than its others but where Michelin were smart was my adding in a tacky compound to assist with aggressive grip, so these Bike Park tyres rely on sticky yet harder rubber compounds.. This allows for a seriously nice rolling tyre with very very low resistance yet still clings to the ground, hard or loose when its needed to.. It has possibly become my fave all round MTB tyre at the moment..
Thanks for the review. I tried the DH34 during the summer and it was awesome. I have a question: what would you recommend as a winter front tire between DH22 and DH34? (Always pedalling, no shuttles, no e-bike). My trails are a good mix of everything, rocks, loose gravel, hardpack, natural, loam and mud. Thank you
Hey Michele sorry for the delayed reply. Based on your info I would honestly stick to the DH34, the DH22 grips but is a slower rolling tyre, you tend not to notice this on the rear as much as you do up front.. To be perfectly honest if you want the ultimate all round front tyre id suggest 💯 going for a Wild Enduro front but the issue is supply. No one has any at present..
Unfortunately I cannot, it seems Michelin are not placing Australia high on their respected stock list, we have never had the Race line available here.
Hi Craig. Great video. Would the DH34 be suited to the extra weights of E-bikes I am guessing no issues as you are about 15kg heavier than me anyhow. Just keen on your thoughts.
Hey buddy, The DH22 & 34 are a slightly heavier tyre HOWEVER the weight added wouldnt really be noticed on an eBike as it really isn’t a great deal more than the 2.6 or 2.8 choices currently used by many but the additional performance you will get from the 4x2 sidewall and traction with the Gum-X and Magi-X compounds will far outweigh the small weight increase, IMO..
Symo S hey bud sorry for the late reply on this, just compared the DHRII DD against the DH22 and there is 180gms in them, 1220 Vs 1400gms and I agree the DH22/34 is a little heavier HOWEVER it would only p,ay a role in climbing if at all.. The block design and harder compound rubber (Remember the sticky Magi-X added) makes these a seriously fast tyre and noticeable as mentioned in most every review id read, I have also chatted to many that use these and all have the same comments, always about how fast they are and how insane they hook up into turns.. Add the slight weight Vs the additional speed, momentum and mad grip & the ride is definitly a faster one and also adds that little extra addrenalin to the ride as we tend to push a bit harder on these once the confidence builds up.. Each have their benefits but I have really enjoyed the next level these offer..
I tried to install dh22 on 23mm rim with Cush Core, it's hard to get the bead on initially then it's hard work to get the rest without pushing cush core off the rim, then to to get the other side on without then to remove it you need two levers. So these tyres ar emore suitable for tubes or no insert. I have Wild Enduro on the way so I will see how they are.
Sorry to hear you had issues there, I do disagree that they are no good with inserts, its important to understand that Cushcore isn’t the only Insert on the market, and despite being the original pioneer of Inserts it has not changed since its creation and i hear soo many riders complain of the difficulties in installing the cushcore.. The Tannus Tubeless inserts are a breeze as they don’t need a super tight fit down into the depth of the rim, they act very similar to a tyre in how it beads....PLUS they roll with the tyre and create a phenominal stability in the sidewall as they cover over 1/3 of the sidewall depth..... However having a 23mm rim may create some difficultys, mine are a 27mm but i had no issues installing....
@@mtbboy1993 no after using the Tannus Tubeless Insert ill never use anything else at this stage, easy install and offers more than others.. Ohh and its lighter and cheaper, BONUS.... Wider Rim widths these days are good, the wider the rim the lower the profile can be and a lower profile can increase smoothness.... You should look into the DT M1900 rims/wheelsets, budget price and world cup quality.. they are a 30mm rim, light and strong.
Thanks for this great review👋. I have the Assegai on the front on my E bike. After puncture the rear dhr 2. Im looking to get these front and back🤗. For me the most important is most possible protection🤗
Stian thank you.. I doubt you will find any tyre that will offer the same sidewall protection and low pressure stability as what these will, the bonus is the outer knob stability these provide, push your outer knobs outwards on the Assegai and you will see that they roll outwards just as easy as they do inwards.. The beauty of the Michelins is that the knobs will not fold outwards, they stand firm and hook in nicely.. Good luck and please check back in once you have some hours on them...
I got them installed friday & yesterday. The football championship takes time to🤣. Got to test them today WOW. I'm not good at tuning my bike etc. But I realised how incredibly the traction was when climbing on my ebike. I never filled my shoes with gravel before but they gripped everything. The stability and confidence going down made me almost take some risks🤗. First I was a bit worried since they were thinner than the Assegai, but that's not as sturdy as these. I got the dh 22 front and back🤗
@@stianjarnass nice work. Yes be careful as they MAY give you more confidence than you can at times handle. Haha. Great to hear your first impressions were good ones.
Hey MTB Bench Rider thanks. Of all three tyres the 34 Bike Park was for me the most versatile as it’s lighter than the DH22 & 34 and with allot of Rocky trails where I live it was ideal. A really fast tyre that didn’t hesitate in hooking me up in the dusty and drier soils. Even the loamier trails surprised me. As for the wire bead I love it, I genuinely wish all tyres would go WB, 15gram difference is nothing but really reduces burping at lower pressures. Install wasn’t any different, harder or easier than a usual folding. Hope that helps 👍
Sick video,dou you think that tire inserts are needed with dh34 bike park,I live in relly rocky area so we always run inserts if tires are not tough enough,are these tough as minions dhr DD casing? Thanks
Hey there, I would definitely suggest inserts on the 34 BikePark tyres if the surfaces are like you say.. HOWEVER the non Bike Park DH34 i really doubt you will need them but its always recommended, they are in fact tougher than the DD casing and hold a greater sidewall stability at the lower pressures..
Hi Nikola, I honestly have not used the eWild tyres yet but what I can tell you is that the eWild will be a smoother riding tyre being more pliable and wider but will still offer you some serious amounts of speed and grip, even in the flatter turns.. The DH Tyres are heavier but bulletproof, so the ride wont be as smooth due to being a 2.4 and a seriously aggressive sidewall but there wont be a trail you cant ride on the DH Tyres....Hope that helps.
@@FlowmentumMTB Thank you for reply! It helped. It will be interesting to see video about ewild. And some comparison between dh22 and ewild(with cush core to be more fair) There is not much about that tires so i believe that people will appreciate that. Peace.
Great review! I have a question. I'm about 95kg and I have some sidewall stability issues with basic and cheap tires. Dh34 bikepark seems nice on the paper. Cheap, tubeless compatible and has a nice profile. I wonder if dh34 bikepark has roboust sidewalls to carry a 95kg rider. As far as ı can observe, your rear tire in the video is dh34 bike park and seems holding up nicely. However I wanted to ask you. Did you use tire insert in the video? Thank you.
Hey Mustafa how are you? Yes I did use inserts in this video but only because I was riding with tubes and the Tannus Inner Tube Armour.. I have since gone tubeless and am now using the new Tannus Tubeless insert with the DH34 Bike Park and I am loving it... I am 110k and have zero issues with sidewall roll at all, running between 22 and 24psi and zero issues, the DH34 bike park tire will provide what you want even without inserts as it has the dual sidewall for additional stability... What id suggest is looking into the new Tannus Tubeless because its unique design pushes the tire sidewall outwards creating even more increased stability than any other insert, im now getting away with even more and smoother at once...
@@FlowmentumMTB I'm okey, I hope you are okey too mate. Your answer is very informative. I will pull the trigger for 34 bike park and I will consider tannus armour too. I have read only good things about it. Thanks again.
Hey sup3rt3d, no these are an addition to the performance range of tyres, the Wild AM is a great, actually a brilliant trail tyre for the less aggressive rides, the Wild Enduro is the ULTIMATE all rounder, pedals well on long rides but not as well as the AM, the newer DH range pedal well but not as good as the AM or Enduro BUT they are the dominant aggressive tyre. Im very very impressed and will use these as my daily tyres.... These DH tyres “MAY” be deemed too aggressive for some daily riders but i myself i really enjoy riding these.
@@FlowmentumMTB Agreed, I needed some fresh grippy stuff to get rid of maxxis-es stale 26" offer (almost impossibe to find dhfs in a size that's not 2.35, and as we all know that's minuscule in comparison to other brands)
I have 140mm trail bike. I currently run Pirelli Scorpion M(mixed) and R(rear) that are wearing out. I am thinking of putting DH22 front and DH34 or Wild Enduro rear. What is your experience and suggestion for these two combos?
Hey Zagica. I cant give experience on the combo but am very experienced on each of the 2 models.. Where you located, are you trails mostly harder packed surfaces or lots of softer loamy style surfaces? For me personally you will NEVER beat the Wild Enduro for all surfaces, it truly is a super fast aggressive cornering tyre that will be hard to be bettered. The DH22 is slightly softer than the 34 and on the right soils will be a great front hook tyre but isn’t as fast as the 34 if your looking purely for,speed.. However I doubt it will be really noticeably just being up front only.. I think its a great combo that will pedal brilliantly and hook into turns allot better than your currently used to that’s for sure... Hope thats helps you some...
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks mate! I decided to go for DH22 up front and wild enduro on the rear. I do not care about the speed on the climbs, I just enjoy slow and easy on them and than just bomming down on natural trails/walking mountaineering paths, singletracks etc. I never been to bike park/trail center but the terrain I ride is mostly soft loamy forest single track mixed with rocks, loose pebbles and rock over hard walked paths, roots, small drops... So I never ride well groomed bikepark trails with berms etc.
Although labeled DH these are both a Downhill and/or Enduro. I’ve been running the DH34 on the front of my daily ride, it’s a brilliant all round tyre however it is a very robust casing so it’s certainly better suited to DH and Enduro due to being a little heavier than the Wild Enduro. You will have to check the Michelin website for actual weights.
Hi, awesome video! I have the DH22's but have not used them as my new bike build is not completed. :( Are they good for steep technical climbs (you mentioned all trail conditions)? And I'm going to use the DH22s front and back. Is that recommended? Thank you!
Hey javamoss you will love the traction these tyres offer.. As for your main question its important to note that Trail Conditions refers to the varying Surfaces and NOT elevations, angles and inclines. The DH22 tyres will definitely hook up better than your expecting when climbing tech sections but its important to note that DH range is designed for durability to withstand aggressive riding and therefore holds a little more weight than the Bike Park version or the popular Wild Enduro. So yes these will hook up nicely when climbing however the weight MAY BE a small climbing disadvantage... Happy New Year to you...
Hey brother, coming into warmer dryer condition hear in WA, out of the dh22 and dh34 what would you recommend, I’m new to riding and want to change what’s on my bike as stock and these are actually available to buy. For eg would you go a dh22 front and dh34 rear or ? I believe most trails hear unless heading south are hard packed with loose gravel on top and rocky. Look forward to your reply 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey Daniel great to hear from you, to be honest with you I would 💯 suggest the DH34, it is mire specific to dryer rougher trails and is nice and fast.. The DH22 is more for loose, moist loamy trails like Europe more than here in hard packed Aus, PLUS the feedback from the DH22 is that it is a slower tyre on the faster harder packed surfaces... Im currently running the DH34 up front with No insert and the DH34 “Bike Park” on the rear with a Tannus tubeless and ill be sticking to this combo for the remainder of the year from sure.. Ohh and these are readily available in all options right now. Hope that helps you some..
@@D.s182 I actually moved on from cushcore, its heavy, a pain to install and doesn’t always allow sealant to do its job around the bead or base of the tyre. Im running a TANNUS tubeless inner, seriously light, and supports more than 1/2 the tyre sidewall.. But yes I do run it on the rear with the DH34 BIKEPARK Tyre, I wouldn’t bother if I was running the non Bike Park DH34..
Yep absolutely, the 22 is a little slower but hooks up like nothing you have ever experienced before I’d see no point having a 22 on the rear but the 22Fr and 34Rear is a great combo.
@@59trevski nice work legend, told you. Just crazy tire technology and it shows ion the trails. You will never know how average Maxxis is until you try a Michelin huh..
I came across this channel because I'm looking for new tires. I'm 100 kilos/ 220lbs. I run with CushCore f&r. I'm debating on Maxxis DHF/R or Michelin but can't decide on which set up. Here in Texas, USA it's mostly loose rock over hardpack or sand over hardpack. I especially need a fast roller with climbing traction in the rear and something that grips turning and going down on rock. Any suggestions on the set up with Michelin?
Hey Bo thanks for dropping in.. Sounds like your local is like mine, Rocky, sharp and hard packed dusty and thats the very reason i switched from Maxxis to Michelin.. Not a single slash or puncture now in just over 12 months.... If weight isnt a big issue id suggest the DH34, its a very similar if not slightly heavier tyre than the Maxxis DH DD but is super fast and bomb proof, has additional sidewall support as well so you can drop a solid 4 psi without sacrificing support, stability and speed... If your really into saving weight id suggest the tried n true Wild Enduro... Honestly for me im sticking with the DH34 but im now running the new TANNUS Tubeless Armour, almost half the weight of Cush Core and sits higher in the tyre so reduces vibration and add even more sidewall support... Hope that helps...
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks heaps for this review, reckon I'll be ordering a DH34 Bike Park for the rear. The online reviews for Tannus Tubeless Armour look great, but I can't see them listed online anywhere in Australia. I'm Brisbane based, would most local bike shops know who the Tannus distributer is to be able to get them in?
Hey Daniel, yes I really enjoyed the DH34 Bike Park tyres as they are fast, stiff and still reasonably light... As for the Tannus Tubeless this is a sensational product, BUT it hasn’t landed in australia just yet.. It will be here within the next 2 weeks, the Aussie distributor is airfreighting a first shipment to get it here ASAP.. Check with your local shop, any dealer can get it in for you....
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks very much! I spoke to the Tannus distributor today, they're in Daisy Hill and now have the tubeless armour in stock, looking forward to fitting it and not having to worry about pinch flats so much!
Hello, I was wondering wether it would be better with 22 or 34 tires for hard pack alpine bike parks. I’ll be using a ski lift most of the time so the weight of the 22s isn’t a problem but wondering if it’s not the right tire and 34s are always the choice for hard pack. This just popped into my head because I saw Laurie Greenland run 34s on his race bike.
Hey Cameron, you are correct the DH34 Would definitely be a better choice for the harder packed trails. Many chose the DH22 thinking they will get extra grip but in fact you do lose a little grip on the harder packed trail surfaces, abs it’s a slower rolling tyre. The 34 is fast and so aggressive on the hard fast trails. Certainly my choice. 👍
I kept that out as I’ve learnt working in this industry that the weight of a tyre never satisfies everyone so I left that up to the viewers to google.. They are slightly heavier than others but they are designed purely for aggressive Downhill and Enduro racing, no tyre is indestructible but these DH tyres come really close...
Hi Rayn, yes you deginitely should be able to, the rims im running now are a 32mm internal with the DH34, same tyre size and it has a great depth size to it, it drops the tyre depth “marginally” and has created even more stability than prior...
@@rayncloud9888 I did mention mine is o 32mm ID rim but far from losing any shape. Plus these tyres are designed for the DH and Enduro market which largely focuses on the wider rim. You will love what this tyre will offer.
Hey Ryan, the DH22 will work well but personally it wont do as good of a job as the DH34 up front. The 22 is a slightly slower tyre as it is a softer durometer with a more spread out block design perfect for every trail but superior in the softer and loamy surfaces.. The DH34 however is a super fast tyre and also perfect for every trail but is superior in the harder packed rocky dusty tracks, it has a rubber that is quick, firm yet super grabby and the block design is a little more congested than the 22.. I really really noticed the faster rolling DH34 on the trails I ride which are hard packed and rocky... If you’re doing ALLOT of shuttle runs go the DH22. If you will be doing allot of trail riding, climbing etc go the DH34.. Hope that helps, also understand this is simply just my observation from my riding experiences using both.. 👍👊
@@bikingwithryan5968 my pleasure... Ive had a few folks question the weight of these being a little heavier than some others but its also important to note that you DO NOT Need any insert with these, they truly are a remarkable tyre...
@@FlowmentumMTB I have Cush core right now and do you think if I used them with the tires that I wouldn’t be able to get used to them? Or do you think I would kinda get used to the weight after a couple weeks or so?
@@bikingwithryan5968 the weight on flat ground or descending won’t be an issue but climbing may be a little more noticeable. If anything just run it in the rear, I doubt very much you will need any time protection up front with these tyres mate. Alternatively check out the new TANNUS Tubeless armour, seriously light at 150gms and offers “ALLOT” more support. But again only needed in the rear IMO.
Yes, eBike friendly is what they term the DH34. The DH22 is a softer comping and not for eBikes, the DH34 is. HOWEVER, Michelin have a Tyre called the EWild, it is an E specific Tyre and I’ve been running the 29x2.6 up front on my MTB and loving it. Definitely my fave front Tyre right now.
Any tyre will work on the road but how smooth and fast is the deciding factor.. Yes You can ride these on the road but they will offer allot of resistance and wont be overly fast, HOWEVER if you are just riding short road sections between trails or to get to the trails then you shouldnt have any issues.. I would suggest the DH 34 or 34 Bike Park if they will see allot of road use,
Two Six DM in Australia almost ANY bike shop you drop into can get these for you if they dont have them in stock already.. The DH34 does come in a 26” size and is available here in Australia. The DH22 and DH34 Bike Park are 27.5” and 29” only.. Hope that helps heaps.
Great, well written and presented review! Please ditch the sunnies though as it's hard to read your body language/emotional display in your face. May as well be voice over if you're talking with sunnies. No hate, just advice
Agree 💯 and havent in the past but a few sections had to be scripted as I struggled to remember what to say, I get REALLY nervous in front of the camera and I forget what I am supposed to say, what you see is me reading a few sections with my daughter holding printed A4 pages for me, the sunnies hide my wondering eyes. But I do agree and confidence will grow as I progress, as it has already to this point. Appreciate your honesty..
kim00gibson sorry for the very late reply, only just saw this. I’m running the 34 only, the DH22 is a brilliant tyre but it’s hard packed rocky dusty trail where I live so the DH34 is the best option.
I'll be very honest and admit the only reason these tires dont appeal to me is because of the loud and obnoxious graphics on the sidewalls. Apart from that I know I'd probably like the 34 if it's as similar to the DHR II as it looks but hopefully with less rolling resistance and the 22 if it's as similar to the magic mary as it looks
Yes Agreed the visually dominant yellow is hard to ignore but does in fact look supersweet once mounted FnR. Luckily now I’ve used them I will gladly sacrifice visuals for the improved performance.
W B do you mean Schwalbe Magic Mary? Unfortunately Schwalbe are just no good for where I live a sit is very rocky hard pack terrain and the thinner sidewalls tend to puncture a little easier, great tyres regardless...
Yes you can, there is no Front or Rear Specific for these and they are designed to be used both ends. Here in Aus we have less loam and more harder packed surfaces so many are running the DH34 on the rear as it’s slightly faster and is not as soft as the DH22.
Hey Ku, tough one to answer as both are a nice fast tyre but I think I would lean more towards YES, they definitely are a deceiving tyre from looks to speed and performance. Yes I think it is a faster tyre but is it a better tyre overall I dont think so as the Wild Enduro is effortless in all directions, down, flat and up as the 34 is slower climbing due to its weight, going down however wholly crap it’s the fastest tyre I’ve ran.
@@turbod15 consider the DH34 bike park tyre, as fast as the 34 but lighter. OR if your riding aggressive trails then you will never regret using the DH34 but remember it is heavier. I did use it for many weeks and I didn’t really struggle climbing. Either the 33 or the lighter 34 Bike park will serve you well and is fast for sure.

Thanks Legend.
Did love the grip and dampening of these tyres, (DH34 front with DH34 bike park with insert rear), but found these to be too heavy for most SEQ Enduro trails as most aren't that steep and will have sections where you'll need to pedal quite a lot and this is where I felt the weight slowing me down, especially getting up to speed out off slow tight corners. I'd like these in the weight of the wild Enduro.
Agreed that SEQ doesn’t have allot of options for these tyres if riding/racing enduro but have been popular for many DH Riders and races as a brilliant Boomerang farm tyre... Still very hard to beat the popular Wild Enduro for all round versatility...
I got a bike park 34 off the back of this video, and its brilliant, not just new tyre sharpness, proper new line grip, just trying to find dh22 in 29 !

Got fresh maxxgrip dhr2/dhf combo for my race, unbelievable grip!! Now cant wait to try these if they are even more grippy, how is that even possible...? Damn!
Haha, Michelin seem to be seriously switched on when it comes to creating a rubber that is extremely tacky, grippy and not so soft that the knobs roll everywhere..
@@FlowmentumMTB ahahah thats a shot against my beloved maxxis 😂 no matter even if michelin is still better/grippier I will value dhf/dhr highly. Really good combo and their performance doesnt hinder on the fact that theres an even iller option. Gonna be fun to try and check how they feel in comparison!
Nice review bro! One personal gripe I have with tire companies is proprietary names for compounds. I like to see the shore durometer number ( 40a 60a ) etc. Keep em coming 🤘🏻
Cheers bud. Yes I do agree, it is a good guide but I can’t help but think it could be detrimental to an extent. While most companies are currently using app Shore 40-44a then comes Michelin saying they are running 46A and claim more traction most will call bull.
They run a Duro slightly harder on the DH range and adding the Magi or Gum-X really does work amazingly. But many will not understand the tech advantages. Hope you’re well bud.
Yes you are correct. The density of the rubber and the rebound damping of the actual compound makes a huge difference. Funnily enough, a bloke rode past me today with a set of these. I managed to stop him and give it the old fingernail test and they look the goods! Gonna try a set for sure!
Nice review. Thanks for the info.
My pleasure, thank you.👊
Wich Michelin tire would you recommend for riding in a city with a hard tail, thanks a lot in advance!
Hey billy, do you still venture onto the dirt occasionally?
I ask as I’m currently using the Force AM2 Tyres and I’m loving the speed and comfort they offer but being a less aggressive Tyre they dont hook up like the more aggressive DH and Wild Enduro range.
I like them on my road commutes and love them on the trails.
Little bit a strange test. DH tire on hard flow track?... Whaiting for more test on natural tracks
Michał Gańczarczyk not too sure i understand your comment, I tested the DH34 tyres which are specifically designed for and aimed at hard pack trails, this is why I tested them where I did and the trails I rode are very natural.. I will be doing a test on the DH22 thres but it will be done at a different trail area that has softer loamy surfaces which are perfect for the DH22.. Thanks.
Phenomenal tires btw Did you tried and test the wild enduro racing lines?
Hi Jay, no but I’m desperate to get sone but sadly we haven’t had them land in Australia yet.
with bikepark edition will can do pedal or drag so much like maxxgrip DHR ....
I try maxxgrip DHR and my legs burned and Im in very good shape and fitness and I never complain for pedalling Im use to uphill 600-900 meters in my rides!
Yes the Bike Park DH34 is designed as a slightly harder compound than its others but where Michelin were smart was my adding in a tacky compound to assist with aggressive grip, so these Bike Park tyres rely on sticky yet harder rubber compounds.. This allows for a seriously nice rolling tyre with very very low resistance yet still clings to the ground, hard or loose when its needed to.. It has possibly become my fave all round MTB tyre at the moment..
@@FlowmentumMTB thanks a lot maybe try one!
Thanks for the review. I tried the DH34 during the summer and it was awesome. I have a question: what would you recommend as a winter front tire between DH22 and DH34? (Always pedalling, no shuttles, no e-bike). My trails are a good mix of everything, rocks, loose gravel, hardpack, natural, loam and mud. Thank you
Hey Michele sorry for the delayed reply. Based on your info I would honestly stick to the DH34, the DH22 grips but is a slower rolling tyre, you tend not to notice this on the rear as much as you do up front..
To be perfectly honest if you want the ultimate all round front tyre id suggest 💯 going for a Wild Enduro front but the issue is supply. No one has any at present..
Can you compare this one to the Wild Enduros Race Line which is better?
Unfortunately I cannot, it seems Michelin are not placing Australia high on their respected stock list, we have never had the Race line available here.
Hi Craig. Great video. Would the DH34 be suited to the extra weights of E-bikes I am guessing no issues as you are about 15kg heavier than me anyhow. Just keen on your thoughts.
Hey buddy, The DH22 & 34 are a slightly heavier tyre HOWEVER the weight added wouldnt really be noticed on an eBike as it really isn’t a great deal more than the 2.6 or 2.8 choices currently used by many but the additional performance you will get from the 4x2 sidewall and traction with the Gum-X and Magi-X compounds will far outweigh the small weight increase, IMO..
Have been looking for a review on the new Michelin DH34 Bike Park.
Thank You 🤘
My pleasure. I was too so I quickly realized I better do one myself. Brilliant tyre, one of the best I’ve used for sure.
@@FlowmentumMTB SO question is, do I go the DHRII for my Trail Bike or this new Bike park tire... front an rear? Coming form a Forkaster.
Pretty heavy Tire, 20% more weight than the DHRII in 29 2.4
Symo S hey bud sorry for the late reply on this, just compared the DHRII DD against the DH22 and there is 180gms in them, 1220 Vs 1400gms and I agree the DH22/34 is a little heavier HOWEVER it would only p,ay a role in climbing if at all.. The block design and harder compound rubber (Remember the sticky Magi-X added) makes these a seriously fast tyre and noticeable as mentioned in most every review id read, I have also chatted to many that use these and all have the same comments, always about how fast they are and how insane they hook up into turns.. Add the slight weight Vs the additional speed, momentum and mad grip & the ride is definitly a faster one and also adds that little extra addrenalin to the ride as we tend to push a bit harder on these once the confidence builds up.. Each have their benefits but I have really enjoyed the next level these offer..
I tried to install dh22 on 23mm rim with Cush Core, it's hard to get the bead on initially then it's hard work to get the rest without pushing cush core off the rim, then to to get the other side on without then to remove it you need two levers. So these tyres ar emore suitable for tubes or no insert.
I have Wild Enduro on the way so I will see how they are.
Sorry to hear you had issues there, I do disagree that they are no good with inserts, its important to understand that Cushcore isn’t the only Insert on the market, and despite being the original pioneer of Inserts it has not changed since its creation and i hear soo many riders complain of the difficulties in installing the cushcore.. The Tannus Tubeless inserts are a breeze as they don’t need a super tight fit down into the depth of the rim, they act very similar to a tyre in how it beads....PLUS they roll with the tyre and create a phenominal stability in the sidewall as they cover over 1/3 of the sidewall depth..... However having a 23mm rim may create some difficultys, mine are a 27mm but i had no issues installing....
@@FlowmentumMTB do you have cush core? Yes I should have made it more clear I meant Cush Core and similar type of insert.
@@FlowmentumMTB I want to go to 25rear 30 front what do you think?
@@mtbboy1993 no after using the Tannus Tubeless Insert ill never use anything else at this stage, easy install and offers more than others.. Ohh and its lighter and cheaper, BONUS.... Wider Rim widths these days are good, the wider the rim the lower the profile can be and a lower profile can increase smoothness.... You should look into the DT M1900 rims/wheelsets, budget price and world cup quality.. they are a 30mm rim, light and strong.
@@FlowmentumMTB I already have pro4 enduro wheels I guess cheapest ti's to swap rims. I am thinking ex471 rear ex511 front
Thanks for this great review👋. I have the Assegai on the front on my E bike. After puncture the rear dhr 2. Im looking to get these front and back🤗. For me the most important is most possible protection🤗
Stian thank you.. I doubt you will find any tyre that will offer the same sidewall protection and low pressure stability as what these will, the bonus is the outer knob stability these provide, push your outer knobs outwards on the Assegai and you will see that they roll outwards just as easy as they do inwards.. The beauty of the Michelins is that the knobs will not fold outwards, they stand firm and hook in nicely.. Good luck and please check back in once you have some hours on them...
I will thanks waiting for them 🤗. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👋🤗
@@stianjarnass my pleasure. Thanks for watching 👊
I got them installed friday & yesterday. The football championship takes time to🤣. Got to test them today WOW. I'm not good at tuning my bike etc. But I realised how incredibly the traction was when climbing on my ebike. I never filled my shoes with gravel before but they gripped everything. The stability and confidence going down made me almost take some risks🤗. First I was a bit worried since they were thinner than the Assegai, but that's not as sturdy as these. I got the dh 22 front and back🤗
@@stianjarnass nice work. Yes be careful as they MAY give you more confidence than you can at times handle. Haha.
Great to hear your first impressions were good ones.
Great review. Are you running the dh34 bike park tires tubeless? If so, how was setup with them being wire bead?
Hey MTB Bench Rider thanks. Of all three tyres the 34 Bike Park was for me the most versatile as it’s lighter than the DH22 & 34 and with allot of Rocky trails where I live it was ideal. A really fast tyre that didn’t hesitate in hooking me up in the dusty and drier soils. Even the loamier trails surprised me.
As for the wire bead I love it, I genuinely wish all tyres would go WB, 15gram difference is nothing but really reduces burping at lower pressures.
Install wasn’t any different, harder or easier than a usual folding.
Hope that helps 👍
@@FlowmentumMTB it does. Thank you.
Buenas cubiertas la mejor.
👊
Sick video,dou you think that tire inserts are needed with dh34 bike park,I live in relly rocky area so we always run inserts if tires are not tough enough,are these tough as minions dhr DD casing?
Thanks
Hey there, I would definitely suggest inserts on the 34 BikePark tyres if the surfaces are like you say.. HOWEVER the non Bike Park DH34 i really doubt you will need them but its always recommended, they are in fact tougher than the DD casing and hold a greater sidewall stability at the lower pressures..
@@FlowmentumMTB thanks a lot
0:04 i see that u have ewild 2.6
How do you compare ewild front 2.6 to dh22?
Hi Nikola, I honestly have not used the eWild tyres yet but what I can tell you is that the eWild will be a smoother riding tyre being more pliable and wider but will still offer you some serious amounts of speed and grip, even in the flatter turns.. The DH Tyres are heavier but bulletproof, so the ride wont be as smooth due to being a 2.4 and a seriously aggressive sidewall but there wont be a trail you cant ride on the DH Tyres....Hope that helps.
@@FlowmentumMTB Thank you for reply! It helped.
It will be interesting to see video about ewild. And some comparison between dh22 and ewild(with cush core to be more fair)
There is not much about that tires so i believe that people will appreciate that.
Peace.
Great review! I have a question. I'm about 95kg and I have some sidewall stability issues with basic and cheap tires. Dh34 bikepark seems nice on the paper. Cheap, tubeless compatible and has a nice profile. I wonder if dh34 bikepark has roboust sidewalls to carry a 95kg rider. As far as ı can observe, your rear tire in the video is dh34 bike park and seems holding up nicely. However I wanted to ask you. Did you use tire insert in the video? Thank you.
Hey Mustafa how are you? Yes I did use inserts in this video but only because I was riding with tubes and the Tannus Inner Tube Armour.. I have since gone tubeless and am now using the new Tannus Tubeless insert with the DH34 Bike Park and I am loving it... I am 110k and have zero issues with sidewall roll at all, running between 22 and 24psi and zero issues, the DH34 bike park tire will provide what you want even without inserts as it has the dual sidewall for additional stability... What id suggest is looking into the new Tannus Tubeless because its unique design pushes the tire sidewall outwards creating even more increased stability than any other insert, im now getting away with even more and smoother at once...
@@FlowmentumMTB I'm okey, I hope you are okey too mate. Your answer is very informative. I will pull the trigger for 34 bike park and I will consider tannus armour too. I have read only good things about it. Thanks again.
@@mustafazeybek8229 totally my pleasure. 👊
Hey Craig Are they replacements for the awesome Wild Enduro and wild AM tyres?
Hey sup3rt3d, no these are an addition to the performance range of tyres, the Wild AM is a great, actually a brilliant trail tyre for the less aggressive rides, the Wild Enduro is the ULTIMATE all rounder, pedals well on long rides but not as well as the AM, the newer DH range pedal well but not as good as the AM or Enduro BUT they are the dominant aggressive tyre. Im very very impressed and will use these as my daily tyres.... These DH tyres “MAY” be deemed too aggressive for some daily riders but i myself i really enjoy riding these.
Sounds like I'll be getting some dh24s for my old 26" then
Yeah what a cool tyre for the ole almost forgotten 26” huh......
@@FlowmentumMTB Agreed, I needed some fresh grippy stuff to get rid of maxxis-es stale 26" offer (almost impossibe to find dhfs in a size that's not 2.35, and as we all know that's minuscule in comparison to other brands)
I have 140mm trail bike. I currently run Pirelli Scorpion M(mixed) and R(rear) that are wearing out. I am thinking of putting DH22 front and DH34 or Wild Enduro rear. What is your experience and suggestion for these two combos?
Hey Zagica. I cant give experience on the combo but am very experienced on each of the 2 models.. Where you located, are you trails mostly harder packed surfaces or lots of softer loamy style surfaces? For me personally you will NEVER beat the Wild Enduro for all surfaces, it truly is a super fast aggressive cornering tyre that will be hard to be bettered. The DH22 is slightly softer than the 34 and on the right soils will be a great front hook tyre but isn’t as fast as the 34 if your looking purely for,speed.. However I doubt it will be really noticeably just being up front only.. I think its a great combo that will pedal brilliantly and hook into turns allot better than your currently used to that’s for sure... Hope thats helps you some...
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks mate! I decided to go for DH22 up front and wild enduro on the rear. I do not care about the speed on the climbs, I just enjoy slow and easy on them and than just bomming down on natural trails/walking mountaineering paths, singletracks etc. I never been to bike park/trail center but the terrain I ride is mostly soft loamy forest single track mixed with rocks, loose pebbles and rock over hard walked paths, roots, small drops... So I never ride well groomed bikepark trails with berms etc.
@@MilatovichFamily you have a sensational combo going on. Love to hear your thoughts down the track.
@@FlowmentumMTB I will keep you updated, maybe I will make a video in the future. :)
Just a moment; are these dh or Enduro tires? How much they weight?
Although labeled DH these are both a Downhill and/or Enduro. I’ve been running the DH34 on the front of my daily ride, it’s a brilliant all round tyre however it is a very robust casing so it’s certainly better suited to DH and Enduro due to being a little heavier than the Wild Enduro.
You will have to check the Michelin website for actual weights.
Hi, awesome video! I have the DH22's but have not used them as my new bike build is not completed. :( Are they good for steep technical climbs (you mentioned all trail conditions)? And I'm going to use the DH22s front and back. Is that recommended? Thank you!
Hey javamoss you will love the traction these tyres offer.. As for your main question its important to note that Trail Conditions refers to the varying Surfaces and NOT elevations, angles and inclines.
The DH22 tyres will definitely hook up better than your expecting when climbing tech sections but its important to note that DH range is designed for durability to withstand aggressive riding and therefore holds a little more weight than the Bike Park version or the popular Wild Enduro. So yes these will hook up nicely when climbing however the weight MAY BE a small climbing disadvantage...
Happy New Year to you...

Hey brother, coming into warmer dryer condition hear in WA, out of the dh22 and dh34 what would you recommend, I’m new to riding and want to change what’s on my bike as stock and these are actually available to buy.
For eg would you go a dh22 front and dh34 rear or ?
I believe most trails hear unless heading south are hard packed with loose gravel on top and rocky.
Look forward to your reply 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey Daniel great to hear from you, to be honest with you I would 💯 suggest the DH34, it is mire specific to dryer rougher trails and is nice and fast..
The DH22 is more for loose, moist loamy trails like Europe more than here in hard packed Aus, PLUS the feedback from the DH22 is that it is a slower tyre on the faster harder packed surfaces... Im currently running the DH34 up front with No insert and the DH34 “Bike Park” on the rear with a Tannus tubeless and ill be sticking to this combo for the remainder of the year from sure..
Ohh and these are readily available in all options right now.
Hope that helps you some..
@@FlowmentumMTB cheers brother definitely helpful, would you still cushcore the rear or no need with that casing?
@@D.s182 I actually moved on from cushcore, its heavy, a pain to install and doesn’t always allow sealant to do its job around the bead or base of the tyre. Im running a TANNUS tubeless inner, seriously light, and supports more than 1/2 the tyre sidewall.. But yes I do run it on the rear with the DH34 BIKEPARK Tyre, I wouldn’t bother if I was running the non Bike Park DH34..

@@FlowmentumMTB wow the DH22 front and rear on my Nukeproof maga whatt RS

@@59trevski nice work legend, told you. Just crazy tire technology and it shows ion the trails. You will never know how average Maxxis is until you try a Michelin huh..
I came across this channel because I'm looking for new tires. I'm 100 kilos/ 220lbs. I run with CushCore f&r. I'm debating on Maxxis DHF/R or Michelin but can't decide on which set up. Here in Texas, USA it's mostly loose rock over hardpack or sand over hardpack. I especially need a fast roller with climbing traction in the rear and something that grips turning and going down on rock. Any suggestions on the set up with Michelin?
Hey Bo thanks for dropping in.. Sounds like your local is like mine, Rocky, sharp and hard packed dusty and thats the very reason i switched from Maxxis to Michelin.. Not a single slash or puncture now in just over 12 months.... If weight isnt a big issue id suggest the DH34, its a very similar if not slightly heavier tyre than the Maxxis DH DD but is super fast and bomb proof, has additional sidewall support as well so you can drop a solid 4 psi without sacrificing support, stability and speed... If your really into saving weight id suggest the tried n true Wild Enduro... Honestly for me im sticking with the DH34 but im now running the new TANNUS Tubeless Armour, almost half the weight of Cush Core and sits higher in the tyre so reduces vibration and add even more sidewall support... Hope that helps...
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks heaps for this review, reckon I'll be ordering a DH34 Bike Park for the rear. The online reviews for Tannus Tubeless Armour look great, but I can't see them listed online anywhere in Australia.

Hey Daniel, yes I really enjoyed the DH34 Bike Park tyres as they are fast, stiff and still reasonably light... As for the Tannus Tubeless this is a sensational product, BUT it hasn’t landed in australia just yet.. It will be here within the next 2 weeks, the Aussie distributor is airfreighting a first shipment to get it here ASAP.. Check with your local shop, any dealer can get it in for you....
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks very much! I spoke to the Tannus distributor today, they're in Daisy Hill and now have the tubeless armour in stock, looking forward to fitting it and not having to worry about pinch flats so much!
Hello, I was wondering wether it would be better with 22 or 34 tires for hard pack alpine bike parks. I’ll be using a ski lift most of the time so the weight of the 22s isn’t a problem but wondering if it’s not the right tire and 34s are always the choice for hard pack. This just popped into my head because I saw Laurie Greenland run 34s on his race bike.
Hey Cameron, you are correct the DH34 Would definitely be a better choice for the harder packed trails.
Many chose the DH22 thinking they will get extra grip but in fact you do lose a little grip on the harder packed trail surfaces, abs it’s a slower rolling tyre.
The 34 is fast and so aggressive on the hard fast trails.
Certainly my choice. 👍
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks for the quick reply.
Thanks for that , but nice if you could tell us the weight of each tyre please .. 😎
I kept that out as I’ve learnt working in this industry that the weight of a tyre never satisfies everyone so I left that up to the viewers to google.. They are slightly heavier than others but they are designed purely for aggressive Downhill and Enduro racing, no tyre is indestructible but these DH tyres come really close...
Do you think it will be OK to fit the DH22 tire to a 35mm internal width rim?
Hi Rayn, yes you deginitely should be able to, the rims im running now are a 32mm internal with the DH34, same tyre size and it has a great depth size to it, it drops the tyre depth “marginally” and has created even more stability than prior...
Flowmentum MTB thanks man, i ordered one and i was afraid it would be too squared off, much appreciated.
@@rayncloud9888 I did mention mine is o 32mm ID rim but far from losing any shape. Plus these tyres are designed for the DH and Enduro market which largely focuses on the wider rim. You will love what this tyre will offer.
Will the dh 22 work well in hard pack dirt for a front tire?
Hey Ryan, the DH22 will work well but personally it wont do as good of a job as the DH34 up front. The 22 is a slightly slower tyre as it is a softer durometer with a more spread out block design perfect for every trail but superior in the softer and loamy surfaces..
The DH34 however is a super fast tyre and also perfect for every trail but is superior in the harder packed rocky dusty tracks, it has a rubber that is quick, firm yet super grabby and the block design is a little more congested than the 22..
I really really noticed the faster rolling DH34 on the trails I ride which are hard packed and rocky...
If you’re doing ALLOT of shuttle runs go the DH22.
If you will be doing allot of trail riding, climbing etc go the DH34..
Hope that helps, also understand this is simply just my observation from my riding experiences using both.. 👍👊
@@FlowmentumMTB Thanks for all the information! I will probaly get some soon once the snow goes away. Thanks again 👍
@@bikingwithryan5968 my pleasure... Ive had a few folks question the weight of these being a little heavier than some others but its also important to note that you DO NOT Need any insert with these, they truly are a remarkable tyre...
@@FlowmentumMTB I have Cush core right now and do you think if I used them with the tires that I wouldn’t be able to get used to them? Or do you think I would kinda get used to the weight after a couple weeks or so?
@@bikingwithryan5968 the weight on flat ground or descending won’t be an issue but climbing may be a little more noticeable. If anything just run it in the rear, I doubt very much you will need any time protection up front with these tyres mate.
Alternatively check out the new TANNUS Tubeless armour, seriously light at 150gms and offers “ALLOT” more support. But again only needed in the rear IMO.
Are they E-bike compatible?
Yes, eBike friendly is what they term the DH34.
The DH22 is a softer comping and not for eBikes, the DH34 is.
HOWEVER, Michelin have a Tyre called the EWild, it is an E specific Tyre and I’ve been running the 29x2.6 up front on my MTB and loving it. Definitely my fave front Tyre right now.
the DH34 bikepark tire is good for a enduro bike ?
Yes, its what I have decided to run with front and back on my Enduro bike, im also 105kg/240pound and they hold up super nice...
Will they work on the road ? Yes or no plz some one let me no thanks
Any tyre will work on the road but how smooth and fast is the deciding factor.. Yes You can ride these on the road but they will offer allot of resistance and wont be overly fast, HOWEVER if you are just riding short road sections between trails or to get to the trails then you shouldnt have any issues.. I would suggest the DH 34 or 34 Bike Park if they will see allot of road use,
Where can I buy them?
Will there be in 26 inches?
Two Six DM in Australia almost ANY bike shop you drop into can get these for you if they dont have them in stock already.. The DH34 does come in a 26” size and is available here in Australia. The DH22 and DH34 Bike Park are 27.5” and 29” only.. Hope that helps heaps.

Great, well written and presented review! Please ditch the sunnies though as it's hard to read your body language/emotional display in your face. May as well be voice over if you're talking with sunnies. No hate, just advice
Agree 💯 and havent in the past but a few sections had to be scripted as I struggled to remember what to say, I get REALLY nervous in front of the camera and I forget what I am supposed to say, what you see is me reading a few sections with my daughter holding printed A4 pages for me, the sunnies hide my wondering eyes. But I do agree and confidence will grow as I progress, as it has already to this point. Appreciate your honesty..
Do you run DH34 for the rear? Or DH22 front and back
kim00gibson sorry for the very late reply, only just saw this.
I’m running the 34 only, the DH22 is a brilliant tyre but it’s hard packed rocky dusty trail where I live so the DH34 is the best option.
I'll be very honest and admit the only reason these tires dont appeal to me is because of the loud and obnoxious graphics on the sidewalls. Apart from that I know I'd probably like the 34 if it's as similar to the DHR II as it looks but hopefully with less rolling resistance and the 22 if it's as similar to the magic mary as it looks
Yes Agreed the visually dominant yellow is hard to ignore but does in fact look supersweet once mounted FnR. Luckily now I’ve used them I will gladly sacrifice visuals for the improved performance.
Look great shame I cant but any, for what seems like its going to be months
.
the michelin DHR II and michelin Magic Mary
W B do you mean Schwalbe Magic Mary? Unfortunately Schwalbe are just no good for where I live a sit is very rocky hard pack terrain and the thinner sidewalls tend to puncture a little easier, great tyres regardless...
can i run the DH22 on the front and rear??
Yes you can, there is no Front or Rear Specific for these and they are designed to be used both ends.
Here in Aus we have less loam and more harder packed surfaces so many are running the DH34 on the rear as it’s slightly faster and is not as soft as the DH22.
@@FlowmentumMTB thank you
i will be gong for the dh22 because i live in the UK less rock more mud :)

D34 faster rolling than wild enduro
Hey Ku, tough one to answer as both are a nice fast tyre but I think I would lean more towards YES, they definitely are a deceiving tyre from looks to speed and performance.
Yes I think it is a faster tyre but is it a better tyre overall I dont think so as the Wild Enduro is effortless in all directions, down, flat and up as the 34 is slower climbing due to its weight, going down however wholly crap it’s the fastest tyre I’ve ran.
I have wild enduro front rear 2.6 would like faster rear rolling
@@turbod15 consider the DH34 bike park tyre, as fast as the 34 but lighter.
OR if your riding aggressive trails then you will never regret using the DH34 but remember it is heavier. I did use it for many weeks and I didn’t really struggle climbing. Either the 33 or the lighter 34 Bike park will serve you well and is fast for sure.
