I bought a Devinci Spartan HP that came with a Maxxis Assegai and DHR with the heavy duty sidewall and maxx-grip compound. Pedaling that bike on flat ground was a workout. Where I live, we do not have the terrain that justify such a thick heavy-duty tire. I was finding myself unable to carry enough speed through many trails simply because the Maxxis tires are so dang sticky. Wanting to go faster, I researched about 30 different enduro tires and decided the Xynotal for the rear, and Kryptotal F for the front. I made the right choice. These tires roll faster, they're more quiet, and to my surprise are right in line with how I like to ride: the grip is so predictable, you will never wash out because you can feel what is going on all the time. It's like the tire speaks to you. I felt the Maxxis tires to have unbeatable grip, until they don't; I was never able to predict with the Maxxis tires would decide to let go and wash out. For the Xynotal rear, I have no issues climbing, dry or wet, cornering is FUN because, again, the grip is linear and predictable. You can drift if you so desire. Since they are not as squishy a Maxxis maxx-grip tire, the ride quality suffered UNTIL I retuned my suspension to work with the tires. I have high-expectations of these tires, as I've done several miles on pavement and dozens on the trails and the little hairs on the rubber still have not fallen off, and the tires still smell new! As a bonus, these also look sick with the textured sidewall and gold graphics. I do recommend this (these tires) tire if you desire to carry more speed while having a fun time going around corners.
Until something better and possibly lighter comes along, the Xynotal is my favorite rear tire. After my Herculean effort to mount the Xynotal, it is not coming off any time soon.
