A winning setup doesn't last forever...I made the choice that I thought would bring me success for many years to come. Canyon has a bigger commitment to racing and winning and I've always felt I wanted a little extra help to go even faster. I recorded a podcast with Downtime last week so that should be out soon and explain some more.

John Tomac! End of conversation.

If Furtado hadn’t retired with Lupus so early in her career, I doubt anyone would ever have passed her world cup and national win numbers. Her 1994-5 17 race xc win streak will never be matched. Stepping up and winning the wc and national series overall in ‘96 was even more legendary, especially when you realize she did all that while suffering from an autoimmune disease that would force her to retire at the end of that season. In her 6 year professional mtb career she amassed more wins than the top man and second most successful woman at that...

You could possibly argue for specific disciplines, but overall, I don't see how it is anyone other than John Tomac. On top of crushing it in every Mtb dscipline, he was had success on the road AND has a BMX background. (Background = multi-time national champion, prior to switching to mtb)

Hey, thought I’d clear up the fair question you asked here! I’m not into racing enduro anymore or heavily focusing on being competitive and haven’t been for a couple years now. I’ve been racing since I was 11 years old and I got tired of it. I’m enjoying competing now and then In different events but focusing on travelling to cool locations and filming & riding with new people and friends and sharing my experiences and working alongside my sponsors. Change has been good and I’ve found my feet doing this. Cheers Lew

DHR2 and Shorty2 are 90% of the Maxxis front tires i see on racers bikes in the Southeast at the moment. Non-racers (and the he-GOAT)seem to LOVE Assegais, but I have noticed that when i see Assegais on the front of local world cup pro bikes, they usually have the transition knobs cut out. The DHR does everything the DHF does, just better.

been running a DHR2 on the front recently - i like it more than the DHF. less vague in the lean angles. assegai is great but it has a weird grip pattern when its leaned over, sometimes itll let go randomly(ive only ran the 3c MT)
