So far I really like the tires, including the downhill casing. These tires are heavy. I just ordered the enduro casing for the rear and trail casing for the front. I am going to try these casings without the Huck Norris insert. This should save me 1.25 lbs, getting me down to 40.75 lbs. I swapped the GX Eagle cassette for an X01 10-50 cassette, which saves another 1/4 lb. I was hoping for 40 lbs with pedals, so 40.5 lbs will get me close to that number. I am not sure where to save another 1/2 lb without affecting the descending abilities. I could possibly go to the one piece RSL bar/stem RSL to get me there, but I like the Deity stem and bar combination I am currently running.
If I don’t like the way it rides at that time, I’ll switch it back with the downhill casing and inserts. I do not think the Huck Norris makes that much of a difference and I’ve never had any issues w/o an insert. I think losing 1.75 lbs off my rolling weight off my wheels will make a pretty big difference and should help increase range a little bit. The range right now is definitely less than my Orbea Rise was, which doesn’t make sense given the same size battery and 10 nmless on the motor.
How do you like them and why did you go for a super soft DH casing?
