With the removal of the old gravity pro casing, what are you guys going to run on your trail bikes?

I'm currently trail pro front and gravity pro (old) rear on my canyon spectral and was originally planning to go gravity pro front and rear after the front gives out because it just feels way too balloon like to give me confidence in corners.

But now, I would have to go new gravity casing front and rear, so basically downhill casings on a trail bike. I can quickly see me hating life.

I had issues with the 2024 radial trail casings being too squirmy, but have not had that problem with the 2026 Trail Pro casings.  I'm happy to run those front & rear on my trail bike... will eventually replace the Grav Pro on front end of my ebike with one too once it wears out, might try it rear also as I'm on the lighter end of the spectrum.  2026 weights seem dead on for the 4 I've purchased & weighed.

Simply no „radial“ casings and instead the regular ones.

Sadly it seems like the best solution is going with a different brand that has a more robust trail casing. I just picked up a Gravity Pro casing Romy to replace my sliced Trail Pro version and as I'd expect it's a bit of a pig, but sturdy and nice to not have to worry about. It just seems like there's a big gulf between the two, with the Gravity Pro casings feeling like a pretty proper DH casing and the Trail Pro casings having absolutely paper thin sidewalls that at this point I don't trust to hold up, even if the support feels decent.
