If you're talking about the M3711 Maxxcross SI front yes it is an OK tire. I have one on my 510.
But doesn't hold water to the M7313 Maxxcross EN front.

everyone's terrain is different. you mentioned clay - isn't there a georgia rider here? that red clay was nasty when it was wet..like ice. i dunno if your terrain is like that..

i can only recommend what works in my terrain. i've ridden all over, and i'll tell you what, a tire that rocks here may be (and probably is) terrible in michigan sand or georgia clay. so you may want to ask around locally as to what works there.

I have a Dirt Shark front and think it is a good tire.

Tires are a personal thing bike to bike person to person.
you can take the same bike and put 2 riders on it and get 2 different opinions.You just have to try them and see for yourself.

our clay is black. it gets about an inch of mud on top, then its an ice rink underneath. but in other spots its this weird mix of clay and sand. kindof a gritty clay that gets about 4 inches deed then turns to an ice rink. then we have rocks and tree stubble and deadfall. im liking the looks of this maxxis.
(note: while most things made in asia kindof suck, i have noticed two things. their cars are tinny and crappy, but they go forever, and they are extremely talented at keeping a customer base, and to do that, you need to put out at least a halfway decent product.) never heard of an EN though. and i did mean SI, just got carried away with they typing. what does the EN compare to? hard terrain tire? soft? intermediate? and how much does it cost over the SI?

If you click on the above high lighted links in my post it gives you a description
of each tire.
But I agree with stainlesscycle.

I can only recommend what works in my terrain.

You really need to choose your own the one that works in your neck of the woods.
