I wanted to try the Nobby Nic tyres for the first time on my full size, excellent weight/robustness ratio and, in the 2.25 size, the right compromise between enduro downhill grip and uphill performance. Great tyre!
What a difference from my old tyres which were originally fitted to the Merida. Worn them down to the wire and now opted for the Schwalbe. Now 100 km of forest further, yes it runs a bit heavier but you definitely get more grip in return, especially in the faster cornering. Recommended if you are looking for a tyre with grip at an attractive price.
Since a month I have had Nobby Nic on my front wheel. It took some effort to put it straight on the narrow rim. As the Loonse and Drunense dunes are in my backyard, I have done the necessary laps with it. Both in loose sand and in dirty mud. And I like it a lot! More grip and control in the corners. And faster on the straights because of its width. With the Conti Cross King on the rear wheel a winning combination for me. I am very happy with this!
