Sixfinity is the number of zeros in the price tag right?

Have you tried running recommended pressure with 2 spacers? I wonder if that would give you the support you want without introducing harshness. I have found that 2 spacers is my max to maintain the comfort/plushness I prefer. I generally run no spacers, stock eyelet volume spacer, and 16mm sag (30%). This is the best for pure DH performance. It keeps the bike calmer and tracking better. The downside is it can be a less responsive and feeling slow on flatter, pump-heavy trails. I also have Genie Float X with LSC, and cranking that closed does help add some support.

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...

I’m on a Evo with the Float X Genie. 78kg ready to ride. Bike came with 0 bands installed. Felt nice but also felt like I was sitting too much into the travel. Added 1 band a made a small improvement but still deeper than I’d normally like. Up’d the pressure from recommended 200 to 210 but it just became harsh. Now running 2 bands but not loving it - feels like it’s lost the coil-like plushness. Think I’ll go back to 1 band and just accept that this does just sit more into the travel.

I hear you on rider variance. For context, I’ve probably done around 200 laps of this trail, so my spread on it is usually pretty tight. That’s why the difference stood out to me more than expected.

Yeah, would be good to test somewhere muddy... I was staggered by the difference though.

Penultimate test in this series. Very surprising difference between the High Roller 3 and the Assegai even when run with the same MaxxGrip compound and similar DD casing! Let me know your thoughts?

Had a pretty big ride on the new 2.4 Trail Romy radial, just because it’s quite a bit shorter than the Albert I went up 1 psi, I’m impressed by the grip, after the first ride it measures 60mm knob to knob, gained 2mm from when freshly mounted. It rolls considerably faster than the Albert, I can make it drift/slide without forcing it with the brakes unlike the Albert, still great traction on tech/slippery climbs and great braking traction on the way down too, really nice tyre

The thing is that I already have a wheelset with Racing Ray/Racing Ralph, I am searching for a secondary wheelset for more agressive riding in the mountain. I fear that Romy/Wicked Will won’t be a huge improvement, but I have never tried those I admit

To what extent are you looking to trade speed for grip? Because it seems like you are trying to go from XC race tires, to almost DH tires (Assegai maxxgrip). Which imo is kind of weird, like kind of defeats the purpose of an xc bike, like I get that it can still be fun but... isn't an xc bike about speed? Maybe you want trail tires? Tires generally are built with 3 main aspects: Tread pattern, rubber compound, and casing. Rubber compound is the thing that literally grips the material it touches. Grippier compounds are generally slower; most rolling...

Hi! I have read most of the last pages of this topic but I am still a bit lost. Made a post on Reddit too, but found this topic which seems to rassemble some tire nerds just like me. Some context : I own a Scott Spark RC in 120/120mm. I weight 70kg. I loved my previous years as downhiller but some wounds told me to calm down a bit... so I have sold all my bikes (latest for the pedal days was a Mondraker Foxy but I did not use it enough and my new area is not technical...

Sounds like good combos to me! Since you have a enduro bike, im guessing you want the trail bike to be a bit more speedy? You should consider: F - Romy Trail Soft Radial R - Romy Trail Mid (aka Speedgrip) Radial Could also opt for Romy Race Mid on the back. Not Radial, but it will roll quite fast because of the race casing.

5/11/2026 9:18am I’d love to learn from the group on Genie setup and what people are actually running. For context, I’m on a 2024 SJ15 (non-EVO), ~200 lbs geared, and this is my only bike. I’d say I’m a solid intermediate rider, but not someone who’s super sensitive to suspension changes—I tend to adapt pretty quickly rather than clearly prefer one setup...

Can't wait to test them. Honestly the Albert was a big surprise to me, it's not as aggressive as the Mary but it wasn't a muddy day where I would have expected to need a Mary. Will find out 😁 Also interested in the theory about new stealth mods to DH casing.
