Been on the fr/re-combo in enduro/soft this season. They’re fine, and coming of a Baron/Kaiser-combo they’re pretty similar. Krypto-front better on slabs, Barons maybe slightly better on roots etc,...

Excellent info!

Haven’t touched the bike forums all winter, and thought I’d dip my toe to see if anybody knew something about supersoft-versions of the E/T casings

Yup, will try. But will keep last pair of Baron/Kaisers as well.

Ideally Conti release a supersoft/enduro-combo. The Kr F in that, and I’ll be sorted

Thanks. Still have a pair of fresh Barons and Kaisers.
Was planning to sell them, but might throw them on as I’m overthinking this completely. Fresh pair of Kryptotal F/R in enduro/sort also lying...

Any previous experience with Baron/Kaiser?

As in «got filled with mud» or «couldn’t get any traction in the wet»?

Compared to a dhrII?

Yeah, very happy with my Contis. Soft seems pretty soft to me, and hopefully softer than maxterra.

At least the old black chilli was. Almost maxxgrip-like

Shit. That's not what I wanted to hear for my front tire. Do you have any previous experience with the Conti black chilli compund to compare to?

Anybody been on Conti Baron/Kaiser f/r and now on Kryptotal f/r? Or other comments on the Kryptotals? Specifically enduro/soft versions?

Been on the Baron/Kaiser combo for a couple of years, and...

Same. Last two set-ups were DHF/HR2, and DHR/DHR.
The Baron/Kaiser has better traction and climbs tech better. For me, that is.

Very average rider, on an enduro bike, riding a lot of rooty loam...

Yeah. I seem to remember them as pretty good on loam and dirt, not very demanding. Could be ridden pretty upright / lower speed / less leaning into turns

Is the High Roller II considered outdated and useless, compared to the other offerings?

I haven't been on them for years, but was pretty happy with them as a rear.
Still have 1 new 27,5 laying...

Been on DHRII f/r or DHF/HRII f/r for the last few years. Both 27,5 and 29, currently on 29s. Considering trying some new options when the current pair of DHRs wear out, not because I'm not...
