LePigPen Added a reply to Tire debate: Cannibal, HR3, or Radial
2/4/2026 8:21am if they release the radial tacky right after I bought these alberts... I'm going to cry soft man-tears i was in between them for weeks. trying to read reviews. but i wanted to try radial, ideally without killing me on the climb.

It takes some courage, but I really like running a MM Radial up front with a non-radial rear, like a DHR2 or Kryptotal Re. Insane grip up front, take any line you want, while still holding up through berms and such. Front and rear tires have different needs so I like this setup at the moment.

Pardon the windbagger but here goes: in short - get the radials for grip, durability and wild fun. I've mostly ridden the radials over the past 13-14 months and I think they are easily next level, and well above the others for grip, durability, and ultimately price because they last forever. They are the be-all end all for me and are now on all 3 of my bikes. No spring chicken here, 36 yrs on and I ride western NC year round, with a summer month-long Colorado trip in 2025 to compare. The jabber below is mostly DH, but I...

2/3/2026 2:19pm Ya speed not being my main concern I was open to that sacrifice. Honestly being a big fella I don't mind... The bike slowing me down, although going uphill I'd love to be on XC tires at 35psi, of course. I just experimented with lower psi, and it felt great of course... But I was pinging the rim pretty bad...

I dug up Cahal's Cannibal review vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgiPVzvxtPg He's got comparisons to DHF, DHR, and Magic Mary in it.

2/3/2026 1:49pm On top of the fact there is still, as of now, not a ton of options for Radials. I had to go 2.6, even though they look like they run closer to 2.4-2.5; but given the width of my rims... It creates for an outrageously rounded tire. Which I don't mind for my terrain personally but would likely make next...

I'm on a similar quest and have come to the conclusion that the answer is "try them all." I have a butcher, dhf, and assegai in the shed, then radial magic mary and kryptotal in the cart with a stockpile of sealant and an eye on cheap front wheels to make swaps easier

2/3/2026 11:55am If Contis weren't 115-120 a pop, I'd be right back on em. Considering I found the radials for 80-85 a tire, I'm installing those today and giving the kool aid a sip... I imagine radials take a solid re-think on how you approach tires. In a few ways, from what psi to run to even what tread to run for...

16.5 kg with the coil shock and beefier tires. I will add a picture of the coil build tomorrow. Looks like I don't have a descent one on hand.

Right! So much more has been accomplished here in terms of seamless integration. In another 5years we’ll see this design copied with 50% more available power and the same or better weight/range. I’m still analog for the time being but I would by lying if this didn’t intrigue me.

Remy is on Vorsprung suspension. He will pretty much be the R&D rider behind developing a Vorsprung fork. Awesome stuff I reckon'. Also that rig is a absolute stunner.

There are custom frame builders that work mostly in steel and titanium, but once you add rear suspension it becomes a lot more time consuming. I think Atherton is the closest to a well-known brand that will do custom geometry for you, but their manufacturing methods are uniquely suited to that kind of thing.
