    IRSCJX8 is the very best rear tire I’ve ever run in Colorado. Had it on my 500 EXC last year and it got me up stuff that I never thought I could get up. There is no other tire better than this tire for super technical and rocky hard pack terrain.

    Wish they sold the jx8 in a 19-inch for my 450. I've got a buddy that's got the jx8 and he's had it for two seasons I'm pretty impressed. I find you'll absolutely like those tires. I love IRC tires 🤘

    Where the heck are you riding??? Such a weird terrain to me. I am in Atlanta GA and we have nothing but super steep hills and trees every 2 feet.

    I'm not a fan of the JX8 it has super traction but felt like I had a flat in the the rear, also it didn't last very long. To run it for one hard enduroo and throw it away after would be perfect but I can't afford to do that.

    hi Morgan, if you're planning on hard enduroing you should try the tire not only in straight sections but only on reply steep off camber stuff because that's something you'll commonly find. that's why all the pros run the 140/18 mostly the Michelin enduro xtrem. this weekend was the erzbergrodeo arguably the biggest most extreme hard enduro race in the world, go take a look at what tires they're running

    • @highlandcycles

      Stay tuned dude. This was the first test.

    • @highlandcycles
      @highlandcycles  Рік тому +1

      Oh and I know what erzberg is. And you probably know that the pros are running tires we can’t even buy. They are special compounds from the manufacturers. I got to hold Johnny Walkers spec Dunlop tire when he came by my shop. It was incredible

    I know you haven't been a fan of the irc ve33s gekkota, my favorite rear tire for north east regular enduro, but I'm pumped your going to run the jx8 and v40 at the hard Enduro.

    • @highlandcycles

      I’m with ya man, I wanted to like the VE33 because everybody talked about how great it was. It doesn’t compare at all to the JX8. JX8 is hands down the grippiest tire out there.

      ⁠@@TDJUNKIEOZ The jx8 doesn’t last for anything. The VE33S is a solid all around tire. Nothing amazing but lasts a good bit. I’ve never found an IRC front I like.

      Here in Indiana the VE33S is way more practical than the JX8.....no rocky trails ,just roots and mud

    I just ran my first JX8 in Tough Like RORR 2 weeks ago and I felt like my bike could climb trees if I could keep the front end down!

    @flingndirt_UT Рік тому +1

    If really like to know how long it lasts. Currently I'm using a VE33s which I'm super bummed about as it's lost 30% of it's knobs in 7 rides which is pathetic.

    • @highlandcycles

      I had the same experience with the VE so we will see.

    • @sarahdell4042
      @sarahdell4042 Рік тому +1

      7 rides is pretty solid. I use only gummy rears and usually destroy a rear in 3-5 rides. The ve33s seems to last me the longest.

    I hate that "fat tire" front in any sort of rut. For me they kind of grab the sides. If its an area that is sandy with a bunch of non rutted trail then I'm way better with it. Never really given IRC a try. Maybe will put them on the list. Michelin fan boy these days.
