Assegai EXO+ up front and Dissector EXO rear. Just swapped back to the HR2 DD rear today and was reminded how much I love that tire. I think the dissector makes the aggressor somewhat obsolete except on hard pack clay where you aren't braking much.

Your videos rock!! I run Maxxis DHF (front) and DHR II/Ikon (rear)

You just dropped exact video what I wanted to watch right now lol. My current Ardent works well on my 29er Hardtail, but looking for something new to try difference, and wanted to pick the one from MAXXIS. Sounds like Aggressor is nicer according to this video but worrying about weight, lighter is better for me because of our local trail layout... But I will try it!

Brother man you really know your tires and 5 stars for another great knowledgeable video tires can get confusing

Right now I am running an Assegai in the front with an Aggressor out back and that has been pretty awesome, can't complain!

Been running the same set of Maxxis Crossmark IIs for the past four years. Still the best upgrade I've ever made.

I really love this small bits and videos in between! 😄

I run the ardent race front and rear. I live in South Louisiana and the trails here tend to be mostly river silt and hard pack. It's extremely fast rolling, which is great for the trail surfaces here, and it still has plenty of grip. We don't have lots of big, chunky rocks and broken up terrain, so the lighter casing works just fine

I'm still riding my Chameleon 3 and I'm so glad Maxxis is still making those types of tires for the 26" bikes

“What about the assegai I am an ass guy” 😂😂😂😂

Assegai up front and DHR II on the back in the southern winter slop. Excellent combo when things get nasty. Summer months I run Rekon up front and Aggressor out back. I also run DHRII/DHF in the 4.0" version on my fat bike. These are my winter tires and switch to Schwalbe Jumbo Jims in the summer.

Ardent came as stock on my Kona Honzo, great all rounder in my opinion 👍.. XC and trails...love the channel 👍

Young Kevin Pollak can’t figure out what tire he wants! I’m glad you guys could help!

Running double dissector's 2.4s has been the best set up I've ever ridden out here I this dry north bay hard pack

Great overview! I'm currently running a Forkaster 29x2.35 front and a Rekon 29x2.25 rear on my Ti HT SS. Before that I ran an Ardent Race front and Ikon Rear both in 29x2.35. I ride a combo of XC and Trail. The new set up definitely gives me better traction on techy climbs and more confidence on rocky downhill sections. I chose both sets based on your previous tire review videos.

Agressor out back and DHR2 upfront on my trail bike. Best tyre combo I've had in my 7 years on the bike

What a great video!. Especially like the bit about knob spacing and height. The only thing (my $.02) I can add... much of the grip comes from the sharp, square edge of the knobs. If the edges of the knobs are worn smooth, available grip goes down. I found out the hard way: road miles on mountain bike tire... not a good thing. Cheers

I wondered about this, changing tires that didn't look "worn out" but had rounded know edges always seemed to help, thought maybe it was my imagination.

Thank you for the great content. This video helped me immensely with my decision to buy a great looking WTB/Maxxis High Roller II wheel set/tire combo to upgrade my Trek X-caliber to tubeless. Keep up the great work! Also, any chance of WWC becoming a North American Nukeproof distributor?

Riding Aggressor front and rear for a while now...i live in Alice springs ,Australia . They do grip very well in the dry

DHF & HR2 for year round natural trail riding in Scotland. Weather and ground conditions can vary so much day to day I found that’s the beat combo to stick to. Also I’m on a Mondraker Dune so fairly big n burly bike Hahaha

On point with the office reference, well done.

Ooooh yes!, running Maxxis!. The Highroller II 2.5WT EXO/TR 3C in the front, and The Aggressor 2.5WT EXO/TR on the back in Fall/Winter/Autumn. When summer arrives, the back gets changed to a Rekon 2.4WT EXO/TR 3C, wheels are 31mm E*Thirteen Carbon 🚵🏻‍♂️💨

DHF 2.5 upfront w/ Forekaster 2.35 on back - Great combo for my local trails - Both purchased from WWC!

2.5 DHF and 2.4 DHR II have been my go to.

Maxxis minion and aggressor. Great combo 🔥

Thank you very much. That's exactly I was looking for!

Tyre choice is a pain in the ass in my area One day is hard pack next day loam next in thick mud then rocks so i normally run magic mary up front n a dhr2 out back but this winter im trying out the schwalbe dirty dan in front n its like marys meaner big bro. Got it in the purple addix super soft compound n for being a mud tyre it tackles the hardpack pretty well and is great with mud n wet roots.

Very good explanation of tire choice

Maxxis Ardent front & rear. Over 3,000 miles on them. Maxxis or nothing. Before I got them I was thinking about other brands cause they never crossed my mind. When I decided Maxxis I was set on the Ikon but the bike shop guy asked a few questions & led me to the Ardent. Only bought 1 so I could try it out. Put it on the front & was so impressed I bought it again for the rear. I want to try a different set of Maxxis but the Ardent never let me down, never a flat, phenomenal traction year round, I might just keep getting the Ardent. I've ridden all conditions. Road, wet/rain, dirt, sand, gravel, mud, snow/ice, you name it.

DHR II is the best tire. I feel like its more versatile than the DHF, my friend crashed of low traction and i only lost rear grip when i needed to corner faster, best tire ever, cheaper, lighter and its just feels so good, its tubed in the front and tubeless in the rear, it feels really good, felt amazing at 31/28psi

On my trail bike I run DHR II up front and I just put on a 2.3 Minion SS in the rear. Was worried it wouldn't grip but has done everything and was faster at the bike park. Downhill bike has HRII's.

Great review. I wish you guys would do a review on plus size tires. There's not many options and I'm a bit confused about it myself being an owner of one now. Plus size bike

I know it's been a year since this post but I thought I'd mention to you that I had a plus size dual suspension bike with 2.8 Rekons on it. From the looks of this video and others, it seems like the Rekon is pretty good. I had good luck with it but it was my first mountain bike so I didn't have anything to go on. Going to get it for the rear of my newer SB115.

What's the best selling tire in PA, I'm on the East Coast and curious what everyone runs?? The Dissector looks like a good choice maybe, might try that next!

Currently running an Assegai up front and Dissector in the rear. I’ve always been a DHF fan for a front tire and I’m not sure about the Assegai quite yet. It doesn’t feel like the side knobs bite quite as hard as the Minions.

I run a 26 x 2.4 Ardent (non race) in the front and a 26 x 2.3 High Roller II in the rear on a hardtail. I ride in the SW US so everything is super dusty and rocky but it works for me.

I’m running DHF and DHR ll, best tires ever!

Thx, now I’m confused even more. 👍

Hey man 👋! Nice videos. A lot of knowledge ;) keep it up. So for dusty dry mountains ⛰ what to choose...?

Good video...,you are describing the High Roller II as an inbetween option of XC vs Enduro/DH and faster rolling capabilities compared to the DHR and DHF... If you go to the Maxxis website, the HRII has more rolling resistance than the DHR and DHF...Thus, I'm a little bit confused about where the HRII sits?

This hugely helpful as our guides just got sponsored by Maxxis for 2020! What would You ride if you were a Moab, UT based mountain bike guide?

Assegai front Dissector rear in Aliso Viejo. So far its great. We'll see once the dirt drys out and everything is dry and dusty. Might switch to a 2.4 DHRII in the rear for summer? If a 2.5 Assegai fit in the rear of my Wreckoning I would put that in the rear.

Assegai front/Aggressor rear is money! The Assegai grabs everything and the Aggressor rolls faster and allows the rear to break loose a little bit without feeling out of control. Had the Assegai front/rear and it was good but almost felt too grippy in the rear. Still need to try the Dissector in the rear!

I'm running Ardent 2.4"s front and rear. Are you releasing a video on your Rotorua trip?

In his order from fastest rolling to most grip: Ardent Race (XC) Ikon (XC) Rekon Race (XC) Aspen (XC) Rekon (XC) Forekaster (Trail) High Roller II (Trail) Agressor (Trail) Dissector (Trail) Minion DHR II (Trail) Minion DHF (Trail) Assegai (Downhill) Shorty (Mud)

Having various types of trails in NZ is a blessing and a curse. Always fun and different trails but never really the right tire. I'm running high roller 2s but will probably upgrade to assegais

Ardent are the best for all around like that. But I'm sure by now you're running something.

im running the forekaster in the front and i love it and i wish i can do it too in the rear but is too wide for my frame so i use the crossmark II

I really like most of maxxis tires because always has a type of terrain the have good performance. From popular xc tyre larsen tt(high roller 2.0, aspen etc), to some dual ply dh tyres(minion dhf high roller 2, and 1) i tested many of them, some of mud types included(like beaver), but i always return to my origin with high roller. I know is not the most "complete" tyre, but for me, is a tyre that you have no doubt of what can do, or cannot do. Dispite of this, i have curiosity for the assegai, because his cornering grip seems to be similar to high roller 2, and the other properties are a mix of good maxxis tyres. The most popular maxxis tyre in my bikes is high roller, but i use other makers too, like continental, they have good and quality tyres, and in cheap tyres i think schwalbe has good tyres in low prices.

This helped a lot thanks! I'm wondering if there is a Maxxis tire that would run somewhere in between a Assegai and a DHR ll (both run as a back tire).

Almost gave up on maxxis tires till I tried the rekon 2.8 size. Not sure why but found it much better grip over most trail types than the DHF.
