    Thanks for the review, I'm due a new set and these keep getting recommended and I think you've sealed the deal. Michelin should give you some commission :)

      That's great to hear the review has been of use 😀 I was the same - kept hearing about them and finally gave them a go. I thought I had the dream set up before but this has definitely won me! Hope you enjoy them - I'm sure you will. Hehe that would be a great but probably a dream I guess!

      In a year and a half riding around 3 times a week I've only had one. I find the sidewalls a lot tougher than others. Taken it down the downhill world cup track and loads of harsh rocky stuff in the UK with no problems at all. Had some heavy hits but the tyre takes it

    I’ve got a dhf on the front and just ordered a wild enduro gum x for the rear..do you think this combo will work well, also in Scotland always round ae forest etc?

    • @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB
      @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB  4 года назад +1

      Ah you’ll love the rear wild enduro! In my opinion and from past experience - if it’s natural muddy stuff then something with taller knobs will cut through the mud better than the dhf and will be a better combo. If it’s more hard pack or drier then the dhf should do fine. I’ve ridden the muddy stuff at ae recently after putting a Michelin front gum x on and it bit really well with pretty amazing grip! Over winter something like this or of this profile would be my front tyre of choice. Hope that helps!

  • @SchwantzKP

    Great review, just got a set myself - although I'm running the Rock R2 out back. Just curious what pressures are you running? Although I guess you would be significantly lighter than me.

    • @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB
      @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB  4 года назад +2

      Thanks! Great :) I'm tubeless so works great for lower pressures. If it's muddy i'm usually about 18 front 21 back and if it's hard pack/rocky i go about 20 front and 24 back - seems to work well for me. My other half is similar maybe slightly more on the rocky stuff and he's about 75/80kg.

      Quite a few online retailers have them like chain reaction cycles. Best thing to do is check your local shop or google and see what’s in stock. They are quite popular at the moment so may be sold out in some places!

  • @camwells9726
    @camwells9726 4 года назад

    I’ve been running them for a year , magi x front , gum x rear . Awesome grippy tyres , but note , not the fastest rolling . The gum x front v magi x front is another can of worms :) the magi x is a much harder tyre that works well in warm conditions.

    • @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB
      @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB  4 года назад

      Nice! Yeah I started running the front gum x not long after reviewing the back and it's fantastic! Where I ride its usually always muddy so it's worth a small sacrifice with the rolling resistance for the confidence you get on the descents. I think the magi x is quite good for some of the harder packed fast stuff but trying out both! Love them :)

    • @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB
      @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB  4 года назад +1

      Awesome! Yeah they are a cut above the rest :) I did actually find them a little more awkward to get on the rims than maxxis like you say (they didn’t stay in the centre of the well as easy) but perhaps the stiffer casing is why. Worth it tho. I’ve been running rimpacts since the spring and they really are great aren’t they?! Nice to not have to worry about any dings and just ride!
