I think that one is definitely coming up. I ran it when I first got back into bikes, loved it. Would be great to compare it to the ones I've reviewed this last year.
Ima bout to throw those on my caked rears. Rode an xr5double O with them and loved them. Allowed the rear to be controllably loose. On a bike thats notoriously straight line.
I’m currently running the 33s on my 300 XC-W, first “gummy” I’ve ran. It hooks up very well in almost all conditions and is fairly durable for such a soft compound, sharp rocks will kill it fast though. I ride faster style crosscountry, not so much single track anymore so I’m keen to try the regular 33 next time.
Been running that combo in SoCal terrain for the last year and a half. I've found it to be a good all around combo. I use a mousse in my setup but don't find it climbs out of rutts when I run less sag on the bike (104mm)
If you have a 19 inch rim I would go with the Pirelli MX2 there's 2 to choose from if you have a 18 inch rim I would do the pirelli xc there's 2 to choose from The XC is probably better for desert
