So check out delium tires. Almost half the price of maxxis and just as good if not better. Rumor has it that delium used to manufacture maxxis tires then maxxis decided they didn’t want to pay someone else to make them anymore so delium started their own line
My favorite light-weight fast-rolling tire combo is the 2.6 Ikon rear and 2.6 Rekon front. The Ikon has a very consistent drifting quality that I like. The Rekon provides way more traction on the front that you would expect. I get the 60tpi dual compound versions for more durability. The Minion DHF is just to heavy and slow rolling for me.
yea I was riding a schwalbe Has dampf 2.6 front and a 2.3 Continitall mountain king rear with insert last year. Before I ran a highroller front (2.3) with the same rear tire. now a=I am running a 2.3 DHF (maxxterrra and the same highroller I used in the front for the rear.( no insert)
Ikon is too tame for aggressive riding, even in the rear: it is not the center knobs, rather the side knobs that lack the grip. If you want a fast rolling combo for dry/mostly dry, I'd say a Rekon Race rear with a Rekon or new Forekaster front would be better, at least for a playful, zippy trail bike. I general think Ikon < Ardent < Rekon Race < Rekon = Forekaster < Dissector < Agressor < DHR/DHF < Assegai (I miss a few but big picture it's there). It is good to have the front one step to the right or two from the rear: you want the best grip in the front, always. But going into minion or heavier tires will always kill playfulness. Similarly for Specialized, Fast Track < Ground Control < purgatory < eliminator < butcher.
that ain't a party out backkk mannn thats like social distanced shit u shud try (i know it sound wierd) but DHR II on the front, DHF or Assegai on the back
@@hardtailrider7172 ye if you have the money u should try it note that was on a 27.5" bike but still does pretty good and then one day i was high so i swapped the dhf and dhr never doing that again
Great video and agree with your Tyre setup. As a HCHT (Similar geo to your Roscoe) and FS (Norco Sight) rider, both are configured similarly. My Hardtail has a Dissector up front (due to be replaced with the DHR or Assegi), and the Pirelli Scorpion Trail R Hardwall casing at the rear. VERY fast rolling and a tough tyre too - but don't expect good braking grip though. I'm no lightweight and a few cased immed events and its unmoved. Those trails looks fantastic and I'd argue going slacker is overkill IMHO.
I was wondering why you went from the dissector to the DHF? I heard the dissector was a little faster rolling. Im curious because after WAY TOO MUCH OVERTHINKING, I was planning on trying a dissector
@@ericpeysar2593 not replaced yet. Purely on grip is my reasoning. Dissector at the rear of my FS and Assegai up front. It was after riding the FS did I realise the grip I was missing out on so that's the plan when the Dissector finally gives out - which isn't too long away I think. I have 2700km on the HT and the Dissector was factory and remains to this day.

Thanks for the information. I’m gonna check them out and thanks for watching.

Still have my Marlin, got the Roscoe 9. I love it too.
I'm happy with the Bontrager tires.
Nice video. Thank you. Happy riding.
They are both great bikes. I’m happy you enjoyed the video .if you have a Roscoe 9 you might be interested in the next video coming out Monday😉
I agree... Team Issue XR4 Tyres are excellent
I just put the 2.3 on the front of my full sup. bike...replacing Specialized Ground Control. Can't wait to try it out on single track here in Houston.
I ride my roscoe dhrII in the front and Rekon in the back. Fast and holds.

Awesome content
Is that a dropper post and if so, how did you get it so low??? Awesome bike build brother ✊🏾🚴🏾♂️🔥
Nice video. I have a Salsa Rangefinder Deore 10, and I think I might want to change the fork as well as the tires. Any Suggestions?
What type rider are you? and thanks for watching my video.
@@hardtailrider7172 I ride a lot of xc trails and jumps...
that ain't a party out backkk mannn
thats like social distanced shit
u shud try (i know it sound wierd) but DHR II on the front, DHF or Assegai on the back
Yeah, that definitely sounds weird lol but I guess you can’t knock it till you try it😎
@@hardtailrider7172 ye if you have the money u should try it
note that was on a 27.5" bike but still does pretty good
and then one day i was high so i swapped the dhf and dhr

Id try the new forekaster front and rear personally
