I think this has made my front tyre choice for bike park season pretty easy.
I finally tested the Magic Mary Radial Gravity Ultra Soft against the Assegai DoubleDown MaxxGrip. The Mary was much smoother in the rough, had huge braking confidence, and came out 2.86 seconds quicker in my 15-run comparison.
What surprised me most is that I do not think it gives anything away in rolling speed either. It was already edging ahead on the smoother, flatter opening section before grip really became a factor.
It is going straight onto my DH bike for the season. I just need to keep an eye on the slight extra bounciness, and I’ll report back if it fails to live up to expectations over proper bike park mileage.
