Don’t think I’ve seen this here yet, but looks like Dunlop is making some MTB tires.

Yeah, Berd spokes seem ideal for backcountry repairs, due to the ease of carrying spares. Back in the day there was actually a company that made fiber spokes specifically for temporary use, to get you home if your steel spoke failed. I'm forgetting the exact name...Fiberfix, or something like that. At that time, they didn't consider the fiber tech to be sufficiently durable for permanent usage, hence the temporary repair angle.

Tape and valves don't weigh 65g, still a pretty high chance the Nobl set is lighter.

That's good to hear. I was on a guided mtb trip/tour once and one of the other guys in that group had berd spokes on his wheel build. Half way through the trip he had a stick get sucked into his rear wheel (incredibly bad luck granted) and it tore 3/4 of the way through one of his spokes and had to finish the trip on a loaner wheel. I've always been interested in them to check out the weight and the ride feel... but I avoid having proprietary or even straight pull hubs because i don't want to be...

I mean a stick getting stuck in a wheel will also easily take out a metal spoke. Ive also gone on to do plenty of riding after breaking a spoke or 2

Last week Berd announced that they'd broken the record for the lightest XC production wheel from a major manufacturer, with their HAWK30 Gold weighing in at 1022 grams for the set (without tape and valves). Now NOBL has raised (or is that lowered?) the bar again, with today's launch of their all-new Ethos series. These new wheels also use Berd spokes up to and including the enduro wheels, with the super-light Ethos SL180 set weighing in at 933 grams (both the Berd and the NOBL wheels feature 30mm internal width carbon rims). Today's announcement from NOBL: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/ultralight-xc-dh-nobl-intro….

a good well specced steel hardtail will ride better than a entry level dual suspension bike IMO.
