I think its not worth the risk on rocks for sake of a few grams unless you are an Expert. I[...] That makes sense. In Zelhem (Nederland GP) most of the top riders had the X11 mounted.

IRC was the best tyre for me but as said no good on newer rims shame. Worst tyre VEE rubber entered Scott on one hard work came to mind. ive never split an x light so much i couldnt turd it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's over a pound of un-sprung weight! In the off road world, that's a significant savings with the added traction, I would see the value provided here... But I don't know jack when it comes to trials... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyl Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Found IRC gripped well when you got them spinning but find the xlite very consistent on all conditions on the 4rt on steady sections and a good degree of throttle control. x lite my choice of tyre having ridden.
