try Butcher T9 front with Kryptotal Re Soft Rear !

I ride super dry rocky and loose over hard stuff, almost always run exo DC dhf/aggressor or exo EC dissector/forekaster. Tried kyrptotal trail/endurance front and rear, was not impressed and front felt more squirrely and less hooked in than the dhf. I still have my trail/endurance xynotal, so I'll have to pick up a enduro/soft kryptotal and see if i can like this tire.

What aspect took getting used to? Seems counterintuitive that they would become your favorite

Thankyou!

Yellow Maxxis all day long

Quick what's the continental model?

Where to start. I read the reviews and months ago bought a Kryptotal for the rear of my Trek Rail. I'm an old fart and still like to run tubes - and run 30 psi to minimise punctures. For the life of me I couldn't fit the Kryptotal to my Bontrager rim so I took it to my Trek bikeshop and watched as two guys stretched themselves and the tyres to mount it. Rode with the tyre and really liked it (it rides firm but weight not an issue given the ebike) but I eventually recognised if I got a flat kilometres from home I don't have 4 hands to be able to change the tube off and on, so I bought Maxxis DHR II. I really like Maxis as reliable and easy to fit. In the mean time I bought myself some Industry Nine wheels to move away from the issues of Bontrager wheels (which independent bike shops would tell me about too). I recently wore the rear Maxxis out of tread and the rear was locking up and sliding more than I usually enjoy, so swapped the Kryptotal in. Took no time at all to fit to the Industry Nine - going straight on!! First ride today with the Kryptotal on the back and I couldn't believe just how much grip I had leaning the bike over through twisty single track, and going downhill I just can't tell you how much faster these things roll than the excellent Maxis DHR II. Great review which pretty much sums up everything I experienced today.

Great tire review Man! As always. In comparison to the Aggressor/Dissector combo, how does this Conti combo compare in terms of climbing efficiency?

The word is ADDICTIVE not ADDICTING. Other than that it was a great review, really solidified that I want a yeti arc.

Am I missing something... does Conti not offer the Krypto front in a trail/soft?

WBT Velociraptor MB. Tires are great for desert, non super mud conditions. www.google.com/search?q=veloraptor+tires&oq=&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgIEEUYOxjCAzIJCAAQRRg7GMIDMgkIARBFGDsYwgMyCQgCEEUYOxjCAzIJCAMQRRg7GMIDMgkIBBBFGDsYwgMyCQgFEEUYOxjCAzIJCAYQRRg7GMIDMgkIBxBFGDsYwgMyCQgIEEUYOxjCAzIJCAkQRRg7GMIDMgkIChBFGDsYwgMyCQgLEEUYOxjCAzIJCAwQRRg7GMIDMgkIDRBFGDsYwgMyCQgOEEUYOxjCAzIPCA8QLhgDGI8BGLQCGOoCMhEIEBAAGAMYQhiPARi0AhjqAjIRCBEQABgDGEIYjwEYtAIY6gIyEQgSEAAYAxhCGI8BGLQCGOoCMhEIExAAGAMYQhiPARi0AhjqAtIBBi0xajBqN6gCFLACAQ&client=ms-android-motorola-rvo3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

What pads?

If the conti lose pressure/puncture they unseat, not fixable trailside without a tube. My only issue with them.

Does anyone know the exact color code for the bike, I’m not referring to the gloss black, I’m referring to the blue striping on the r7 logo which carries to the front, please help and thanks !

Sounds nice but im not real fun of acrapovic. It seems to me like they 'lower' the cc of the bike .

Sooooooo get the gum-x

What about a trail endurance xynotol on the back and a enduro soft xynotol in the front

Double Barzo xc trail 2.25 for duathlon races. Forekaster gen2 2.4 front and Rekon 2 4 rear for trail. DHR2 front and Dissector rear for heavy trail and winter.

Burbon on the rocks yeah

Illegal window tint.

yeah that one doesn't roll qhite as good as an aggressor but sure does brake a heck of a lot better and on slightly loose climbs has better traction. it's on my back up set of wheels for soft or loose conditions.

Just picked up Kryptotal Downhill SuperSoft for my front and a Kryptotal Downhill Soft for the rear. Now I don't do gravity but they're going on an Orbea Rise so it's like gravity but on the flat :)

Maybe try the dissector up back again paired with a more nuetral front.. i think the front influences corners more. of course i'm in the northeast so trails may be different than yours for sure. i didnt like the aggressor in rear for lack of solid braking and lack of uphill traction when things get slightly loose. Ymmv tho'

Conties is all I run.

I wanted to love the Continental tires but I slashed two tires with the Enduro casing on XC trails in the first four rides that EXO casing I've run for an entire year. The Continental were good for what they are and I was going to keep them but I didn't want to spend even more money in the hopes they wouldn't cut yet again. Maybe after the current setup burns out I'll try again

Dustin B. Johnson? Couldn’t make it past the door analogy. What nonsense. Promoting yourself as a bike reviewer does not make it so. You have a long way to go. There should be standards for people who review products.

Had this happen to me first time today, third day on a new bike which has a half-worn assegai. Good wheel but also boring, the constant grip with no bite point feels more dead. Also love love love the DHF/dhr in maxxgrip, it bites!! If you can ride even half proper you prefer the dhf in my books. Even if the assegai didn't slide out. Dhf is surgical and a bot more drifty in the best way possible.

quedara bien para rueda delantera ? para poner 2 iguales ?

Not sure if you heard, but they're now making a super soft Enduro casing! Debuted on the yt decoy

Continentals are stiff compared to Maxxis. Hard pack cat litter clay dirt and Continentals is as greasy as it gets. I'll stick with double down dhf Max Terra rear and max grip DD DHF front on southern California trails✌️

Awesome video! I just ordered the SB 140 LR. I got it with the carbon wheels. What tires would you suggest? I couldn’t make out what you were saying at the end of the video.

Hi! I came back after i riding the assegai for 2 months Here is i can say: Excelent grip,yes,i can say,rolling speed is a real thing... Especially on flat road or uphill,but who cares? We build more leg muscle💪🏻 Ok,on the jumps is amazing,cornering is insane and the braking power is excelent I don t even have the maxtera version or maxgrip so that s crazy,i only have the dual compund If you know how to ride,tyres won t be a problem,trust me. I even rode it on rainy days and it' just amazing It's also working or brapss and roosts😂💪🏻 Crazy grip,i love it

I can't stand the names. I hate the pharmaceutical industry and these sound like stupid pharmaceutical drug names. Bearclaw and Pussyfoot would have been better.

Bro! Do you still have the Yeti ARC? Is it any good?

Hi, can I have some tires so I can put on my Marin Bolinas Ridge 2?

Personally think the trail casing sucks for a front, it's fine in the rear with an insert for anything including bike parks and the enduro soft up front is fantastic, i now have a dh soft rear on my full sus and it's brilliant even better than enduro and trail, going to get a dh supersoft for the front soon Wish they did enduro supersoft though

Are you running Exo+ or DD? Asking for a friend

Hi, did you already trying the krypto re on the back. I'm not sure if I order the krypto or xynotal for the back. I'm not sure if the krypto is to much

Great review, do you think a Hardtail would benefit from a Xynotal enduro soft rear (since it inherently has less traction)? Planning to run Kryptotal Re in enduro soft up front (I'm a DHR II guy), on my aggressive 140mm hardtail (I like it being as versatile as possible, since it's my only ride)

Magura MT/ with the HC3 lever is the best mountainbike brake I have ever used. I run a 200mm disc front and rear and having the option to fine tune how much modulation I have in the brakes is a game changer. massive power with control and with the race compound just never starts fading. a friend of mine runs the sport compound in his pads and they start fading after a long decent but my pands just seem to find more and more performance the more heat I give to them. I couldn't be happier and I have a feeling that I will never run any other brakes because of how awezome these are

Have you tried the shimano saint? For the new sram maven, let me tell you, they have tons of power. I bleed the sram code and they have little modulation and they are very close to shimano XTR. Just remember the sram maven are not compatible with shimano xt and Xtr rotors. I have not tried magura, trp, etc. I don’t need to. I feel riders get hung up on lots of brakes choices. Like a boy going to a candy store. For me, I have been using shimano xtr for 12+ years and no complaint. They work and why change. The sram code came on one bike and they are 2 years old. No complaint. Look, a good rider will adjust to bike, brakes, tires. If you are a rider (with a United stated cycling federation license) and competing I can understand been picky. When I was racing read my pinarello bike was dialed with shimano dura ace, conti tires, enve 4.5 wheels, etc. anyhow, like a said don’t get hang up on bike components unless you are a semi or pro rider.

I won't consider these tires because they remind me of the pharmaceutical industry

Dustin , Have you ever tried the Maxxis Crossmark or Crossmark 2 ? They size on the narrow side of XC and I’m talking strictly for the rear out your way might work . Just thought I’d throw it down to you to look into 👍😎

I agree with you 100%. These tires are lively. Have grip great sidewall protection. And Yet the rolling speed is amazing. Your pressure can be lowered For different terrain like roots. Other obstacles because of the side wall strength. I weigh a 150 pounds. I wish there was a test on these tires. Showing different air pressures On different terrain VS rolling speed. I'm 71 so I look for anything I can get. By the way, I love your passion.

You're going to get a flat eventually at those pressures and those casings imo. I hope you don't but you're taking the risk. With these tires with the weight difference, for tubeless, go for the DH casing when in doubt (unless of course you aren't doing much downhill). They are fantastic, the kryptos for me were a big upgrade.

Super helpful video. You hit all the questions I had about the Kryptotal and Xynatol. First time viewer. I will have to check out your other videos. Thanks.

How have you found the longevity. I'm considering ASX xo but worried about having big costs for replacement chains and cassettes as I do a fairly high mileage.

Assegai best tyre

I am myself tires guy, have a lot of them that I don't need actually.. I need to try these new Conti's. I had their xc stuff in the past.
