Chaoyang Phantom Review - Speed, Dry and Wet I Budget King?
Рет қаралды 7,382
Күн бұрынI got my hands on some Chaoyang Phantom tires, which I rode on multiple races. This is my unsponsored review to find out if these tyres are chinese crap or a viable alternative. We take a closer look at the Phantom speed and wet version, with and without sidewall protection.
Weight for Chaoyang Phantom: around 640g without sidewall protection
Chaoyang phantom with sidewall protection: around 690g
Post-edit:
I after two seasons and 1.200km I changed the speed rear tyre, although it could've lastet up to 1.500km.
I had even bigger difficulties with the new tires when setting them up tubeless, they were leaking air all the time.
I can only (highly) recommend these tires if you're running tubes, I do not recommend them for a tubeless set-up.
After 2.500km tha Phantom Wet is still looking strong, however, the sidegrip is greatly reduced. I would use the tire for crunching miles but not for races anymore in which I need grip.

What combo would you recommend, wet(front)/speed(rear)? both wet? For general trail xc use. Thanks!

I rode the wet version in the front and dry or speed in the rear. If you want more grip go for the dry, if grip is less important the speed is better. If you ride in the winter, I reccommend both as the wet version. Not much slower, but better at cleaning itself.

Chaoyang claims that the 2.2 tanwalls are heavier (45g heavier) while the 2.3 tanwalls are lighter (90) with the same side wall protection and tpi as their counterpart
