The dissector is sweet . My combo is a DHR FRONT AND REAR Dissector.

The answer is yes, yes and yes - I run a 2.6 front and 2.4 rear and is the best all-rounder tire for hard loose trails - cheers. BTW with a 2.6 at a slightly lower psi offsets your concerns about engagement on the DH side. I am 6'7" 225 pds on a xxl SC HT LT

Good review. Ive traditionally used the aggressor in the back but have been looking at the dissector more and more. Appreciate the breakdown of how the tire felt in different conditions/styles of riding.

This guy is so under rated... love your vids

Riding this on my yeti sb 150 as front and rear tyre, coming from dhf/dhr2, such a difference after a there or four hour tour you will defenitely appreciate this awesome tyres. Dry to loose ground absolutely Amazing performance!

This really helped me decide my next rear tire, I was between the dissector and the aggressor and you sold me on the dissector :)

I just changed over to Maxxis Assegai 2.5 on front and Dissector on rear 2.4 both 3C Max Terra EXO and absolutely love this combo on my 2019 Canyon Spectral...

Im running dissector front and ardent race rear, great for xc/downcountry. You really have to lean it over for the side knobs to bite, but if you lean it enough there is no shortage of grip. You can feel the transition from center tread to side knobs, i kind of like that feedback. But im still a begginer, just learning how to really corner well.

Use DHR II 3C @ front ftw! Lacks the vagueness the DHF & Dissector transition channels introduce & rolls faster than the Assegai that is the "consistent tread" grip monster you are asking for

I’m running the new Nobby Nic Performance in a 29x2.25 and it has decent grip, is super predictable, and is only slightly slower rolling than my old Specialized Ground Control tires were. I got them for $22 each and couldn’t be happier with their performance in winter conditions.

Nice review Phil👍 I’m currently running the Dissector on the rear and I’m really happy with it.

Great review! I'll have to try one out once my DHR wears out

Great replacement for those who liked the old high roller.

That was a killer video, since I've rarely heard mention about mixing different brands of tires, to which I started doing a few years ago due to availability problems. It opened up a new realm for me. I'm riding a hardtail with an Assegai in front and a Michelin AM in back. Try it, you'll like it. 👍 Aloha.

Pleasssssse do more actual riding videos, love your vids, ill be here for 100k (Known u since 400 subs)

Dissector in Maxx Grip is awesome front tyre, I'm sure Assegi has more grip but doesn't feel much different grip wise to DHF. Cannot comment in true mud but fine on wet roots and rocks on front but is a super grippy rear in short time had it on back.

Love the dissector on the rear and works well in mud on the rear fairly well going pair it with a wtb verdict on the front

Maxxis dissector in the rear Assegai in the front.

Excellent review!

Good review, I've been running the dissector on the rear for both my bikes (SB150 & SB130). If Maxxis could fix the durability of the side knobs, it would be the best rear tire hands down for places like Southern California (where I ride) & dry dusty places in Australia.

Great review thanks!

Great review. I think I might try this tire. I'm a big fan of the Trail King. Have you thought about trying the DHR semi-slick?

Looks like a great tire for around Brisbane! Unfortunately I've got 19mm rims at the moment so that might not work so well but yeah great video as always, love the new layout.

Hey mate I must say this video production is top notch. That intro was extremely impressive! Keep up the good work. After a bit of advice if you wouldn't mind. Would you say there is a significant increase in rolling resistance from going up for a 2.4 to 2.6 wide tyre? I'm not a fan of that transition zone you were talking about where the tyre drifts a bit so thinking about doing a 2.6 DHF EXO front and rear but ride mainly Sydney trails like mill creek etc. I'm worried it'll be too slow so was looking at these disectors and perhaps a 2.6 will help with the drifting thing. 27.5 with 30mm rims so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

LCFS958. When? When? omg I can't wait. Great tire review

Great review!

This tire performed EXCELLENTLY on the rear of my Ibis Ripley….until the side knobs started tearing with relatively low mileage on it. The search continues…

I just got an Assegai for the front and a Dissector for the rear for extreme trail riding in Wisconsin. Im hoping its a good combo but I havent even put them on my wheels yet.

Great video

Great vid as always Phil! I don't recognize what trail was that @ 3:00?

Might give these a go on the back of mine, just picked up my first full suspension bike yesterday a 2021 Norco Fluid FS3 and keen to do a tubeless setup

Great review

With this type of riding like on the film, which tyre would you as front, how about Nobby Nic any other suggestion, I am looking for 27.5 not to heavy but with good grip cause a have same ascend like descend, Btw: one of the best reviews I saw on yt 👍

Great review! How does the Trail King and Dissector compare in terms of rolling speed?

Hey mate I'm having great success with the minion ss on the rear ,I would like to hear your view on this tyre Cheers.

Yeah yeah my boy

I have the 2.4 DC front and rear on my hard tail. Almost never lost traction, except on wet roots and sandy climbs. The front traction is good but I’m switching once summer comes.

I ride em front and rear on my XC bike while doing downhill rides

Great review! I saw some of the footage was in Daisy. Where else where you riding for review?

Wonder how it compares to the High Roller II. Tread pattern looks pretty similar if not a bit more aggressive.

Want to try the dissector, new big betty and MM. Just got off the michelin enduros, awesome tyres.

Fellow Sisk T8 rider. I'm looking to upgrade the tyres. Thanks for the video. What is your current back and front set up?

Is a good tire front and rear?

I notice the channel more on the dhf than the dissector

Hey Phil, sorry if this had been covered but what are you running up front? My Hans dampfs are on the way out and am also have the T8. Dissector seems to be the front runner for the rear

Hey, i have a question. Should I get the merida one sixty 400 or the one forty 600? They are both the same price.

Has anyone else struggled with side knobs folding and tearing in maxx Terra compound? I found they were destroyed long before centre tread. It got that bad that anything off camber made the rear drift down the camber.

FIRST

I found the dissector waaay too drifty, couldnt stop the thing from going sideways at all, although it was definitely controllable after it broke away, just couldnt get it to grip when i needed it, great tire for roosting and goofing off but not confidence inspiring on full speed descents imo.

Agressor rear dissector front your welcome 🙏🏿

Just got a dissector exo for my rear. How is the puncture resistance for the EXO and how is the long term durability?

Running on my rear on a Merida 120

could you do an aggressor review?

hi, what is the best maxxis tire combinations for road and slight trails, also has fast rolling..thanks and ridesafe

I ride Dissector front and rear but I want to try another front tire that allows me to climb steep slopes better giving good traction and gives me more security descending. At the rear I think Dissector is the best but at the front it didn't give me confidence on descents, would you ride Rekon or DHR2 at the front with Dissector at the rear? Which would be the best combo with Dissector for steep climbs and safety on descents. Thank you!

Would you say Suntour or X-fusion are better for affordable shocks and forks?

Do you have any experience with the Specialized Eliminator as a rear tire?

For front tires, which do you recommend, 2.6 or 2.4 maxxgrip?

Are all Maxxis tires tubeless or can some use tubes. What are the ones that can works with inner tubes.

Hey, have you checked out the new minion SS and reviewed them yet?

Pls can you do a review on the calibre line 20 or just tell me what you think of it

Does anyone with a dissector find it throws rocks? I ran them front and back, like the rolling, didn't find inconsistent grip but they're too stiff. My favorite tire is the Forekaster 2.6, but I wish they'd put one more knob in the center of the triangle of knobs for decreasing rolling resistance. I'm using Rekon 2.6es right now, fast and light, but if a corner is loose it's untrustworthy because it won't bite. Rekons also don't grip rock surfaces as well unless they're totally flat like a road. I ride varied terrain, mostly flatish hardpack (let's be realistic, it's usually lower michigan) or rooty, but when possible I'll ride in the upper peninsula and go after the janky trails that have lots of exposed granite bedrock. I don't want to have to change tires, just to ride with friends who really only ride paved trails though, or to go on a trip up north. The Dissector 2.4 looked like a good option but I kept feeling like it was hanging up on square edged bumps, and I got hit in the face multiple times by flying rocks (was that the tire?) while riding "Flow" (flow in the oldschool sense, it'll rattle your teeth) in Marquette.

Would you give me a nice maxxis combo for my 29 trance advanced? I ride mostly trail or light trail you may call it. I currently ride dhf front and ardent rear

Phil can you please review the Norco Storm 1 because im looking for a new hardtail they is good but isn't a dual suspension so can you please review it or reply to me

Dissector 2.6 in the back?? Or too much

Everything functions properly kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of KZfaq. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!

hey trail talk mtb just a quick question what would be the best hardtail i can get for under 800 aud i live in melbourne

hi mate would it be a good combo for a maxxis dissector 2.4 on the front and high roller ll 2.3 on the rear? for my dartmoor hornet and i got a 30mm rim. Just subscribe to your channel hehe shout out from the philippines!

how about Dhf front dissector rear? have someone try this combo also?

It came on my commencal mega ht. I am not sure I like it at all. In all fairness I like fast rolling tires like the specialized slaughter.

Do you think the exo+ casing is overkill for normal trail riding?

How did the sidewalls handle rocks

Did you encounter any wet conditions with it?

I don't get the point of this Tyre. Is it any different or better than a high roller 2? Side knobs are identical, can anyone compare the center knobs of both and has real life experience?

rear REKON / front DHR II? rear REKON / front Dissector?

What time would you recommend for the roads and footpath‘s something like the WTB fast rollers

How is this over roots & rocks ?

This is your last video on this channel!? Where can i see new videoes from you?

In the thumbnail is the rim dinged?

Exo + or dual compound? I am puncture paranoid

Aswell

2:45. I see yours don't wear well either!

I reckon you kind of said 'kind of' about 100 times, kind of!

who are the two schmucks who disliked :( I don't approve

Maxxis = WARPED TYRES😢
