Good all-rounder

- Martin, 16 April, 2023

Fine front tire, icm an Aspen or Rekon Race a nice all-round combo. Too bad that 2.4 is actually 2.3 here (59mm instead of 61). Niggling at the margins, but still.

Pros & Cons

All-round
Grip
Falls narrow
Overkill for NL routes

Very happy with it!

- Willem, 12 January, 2022

Put this tyre on the front and back of the bike (not tubeless yet) and I experienced a world of difference compared to the ikon. On the ikon I had a lot of sliding on the wetter trails and that seems to be 90% less now. Very happy with the choice of these tyres.

Pros & Cons

Good grip on soft ground!
Rolling resistance is not that bad

Do-it-all tire.

Do-it-all option at an affordable price. This is one excellent tire with low rolling resistance and outstanding grip.

Decent tyre at a good price with good service from Mantel

Compared to other heavier tyres, this Forekaster tyre rolls well. It doesn't feel draggy at all. Decent grip and no wash outs like the Hans Dampf I replaced.

Pros & Cons

rolls well
sturdy
suits the current conditions perfectly

A true all-rounder

- Ruud, 3 February, 2021

This tyre really exudes quality. If you grip the tyre at all, you can feel that this is a very good rubber compound. Currently I use the tyre front and rear and it lifts me effortlessly over wet tree stumps, cuts through mud or keeps its track in loose sand. The studs are less aggressive than you might suspect, however, the grip is top notch, while it is a fine fast tyre. A real all-rounder! In summer, an Ikon will go on the back, but as the paths are now, a bit more grip on the back would be nice. I ride the 2.2 version and that size is right. Is more than fine for Dutch routes. Weight of the tyre is a neat 693 grams.

Pros & Cons

All-round
Good speed retention
Grip in all conditions
Stable in corners
Top rubber

Average, a bit disappointing

- Carlo, 14 January, 2021

Bought this tyre as all rounder for muddy and wet forest trails. Mud clearance just average, suffers in rainy days on muddier terrain. Better on gravel, traction on asphalt could also be better. Tried in combination with Nobby Nic, no comparison between the two (separate review). Just average, not worth the price, on balance would not recommend as all rounder. On the positive side sturdy and resistant to puncture (so far).

Pros & Cons

All rounder
Sturdy
Low mud clearance
Resistance on asphalt

The optimal tyre for in the mud.

- Rob, 15 December, 2020

It is really a tyre for in mud with loose ground and forest trails. The tyre's soft rubber gives you good grip and releases the mud well from the tyre. Rolling resistance is low and the tyre is easy to mount. The tyre can be used with or without an inner tube.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit
Good for trail and XC
Good grip
Low rolling resistance
Due to the soft rubber, the tyre wears well
