I rode both and also WTB vigilante, maxxis shorty, and so far my favourite is the new continental argotal. Perfect por loose conditions. The vigilantes qive good grip but the casing is not so strong. And the rubber not as soft as maxxis. The maxxis give amazing grip but wear out quickly and the assegai picks up rocks and cakes up a bit, the contis are just amazing imo . Been trying tires for years and omg are they good
Which argotal? I’m on the trail tyre front I believe. I have the downhill tyre on the rear. Maybe I should try the enduro soft on the front. I was riding dyfi this weekend and I had a couple of dual wheel slides 😬 I’m a big guy.
I’m a big guy too, been using assagi max grip front dhr rear for years until I picked up my kryptotal clad Atherton. Softest compound DH case front and back. They feel light for a dh casing and imo, so much more grippy than the assagai, which I’m kind of disappointed about as I get Maxxis trade price. The Conti’s have ruined the assagi for me now!!
Would you be interested in meeting there beginning of may and me taking some footage of you guys, I run a digital photography business which is partly government funded basically trying to get young people into biking and enjoying trails. Prob 3-4 hours shooting, and could be £500 in it to share between you, 4-5 riders?
That’s epic, look forward to it! It’ll be well worth it for you guys got plenty of advertising merchandise from POC and FOX so you guys will leave very happy 😜
Are you relatively local to Sheffield? Might see you out on the trials fellow Atherton'er
I’m north of York, so just over an hour away.
Try a magic mary on the front brother.

I have been using an asegai for a while now, there really good
