Default maxxicross EN tire

Maxxis has this new enduro tire out and I have not heard any reviews on it yet. I saw one at the endurocross race in WA last fall and it sure looks like an interesting idea. Soft compound, similar "flat" surface area like a trials tire with a more knobby oriented pattern.

I might just pull the trigger and give it a try as I have not found any reviews anywhere.

I would be interested in seeing your review. What do you normally run for a rear tire?

Similar knob pattern to the FIM spec tyres that come on euro bikes, and what is used at the WEC and ISDE, the side knobs are chunkier though

The maxxcross EN looks exactly like my Michelin enduro comp III that came on my '10.

FIM height knobs, 140/80 size.

If you look under the Dualmaxx, the pic looks just like a Pirelli MT21...

It is an interesting design and now that you mention it, it does look very similar to the some of the euro tires.

I currently run Perelli MT43 trials tire and love it. Just want to try something that I can hit the local GP track with and still have the great traction I get with the trials tire. I also run the Nuetech, so I can run super low pressure.

What do others think of the Michelin enduro comp?
