Just got an Assguy Doubledown for the front. It's only 40 g lighter than the DH casing at around 1320 g ( ! ), but I wanted the Maxxgrip compound so I didn't go for EXO+ or EXO, which only come in Maxxterra.
I only have one ride on it so far, but my impression is that it's more confidence-inspiring than the DHF 2.5 EXO Maxxterra it replaced. Gone is that vague moment in corners where the DHF drifts a bit before catching the side knobs, Instead, it's fully locked in. So far, it doesn't seem to have given up any ultimate grip or predictability.

I could imagine that might happen for a park tire. Ive just used mine on my trail/pedal bike. I always meant to try and snip the leading edge of the center knobs on my wild rockr2 to ramp it for quicker rolling . Flawless tire apart from being slower rolling. I probably wont now. I have a fresh set about to go on but its going on an eeb so ill need both edges on the rear

I used to refresh ^^ motocross knobbies using a hacksaw blade that had some of the wavyness ground out of the blade just run it quickly over the side of the grinding wheel, it wasnt too hard on a 4.50 moto cross knobby but it might be fiddly on a 2.3 bike knobby
The Maxxis Aggressor on the back of my 5.5 is not very agressive after 2 season so I just picked up a Minion DHRII from CR for basicly half priceLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

So, I put on an Aggressor DD for bike park riding, thinking it would give me some added puncture confidence over my year old/thrashed minion exo.
Guess what...casing puncture that wouldn’t seal 20 minutes into my first park day.

I’ve had worse luck with the Aggressor (EXO casing) than any other tire on our demo bikes.

Was out on my second ride tonight on my new to me GG Smash that came with an aggressor in the rear. Flatted about 30 min in, slight rim dent and a hole in the casing at the rim. Dropped in a tube, thought I aired it up sufficiently, then about 30 min later flatted the tube. Certainly isn't the first time I've flatted trying to keep up with my riding buddy, but I knew I'd heard about other people flatting these things often. Was thinking about swapping it out anyways but now it is definitely going in the bin.

Good idea for a moto x tire. Another Xer bodge. Soon enough it might be applicable to mtb/emtb tires. That scwalbe eddy current would be a good candidate

Notice LC didnt flat in the park on his wild enduro rear, it wore out. Get on it! That will out aggro an aggressor in every way. Good price at chain reaction

Back in my moto days we called Cheng Shin tires cheap shit. It's amazing what a little branding will do.

Was struggling in the loose dust/sand and loose over hard while racing Big Sky last weekend. Was running EXO MaxGrip DHF 2.5WT up front.
I think I was thinking about it all wrong most of the season. My thought process has been "softer = more grip" but I think I have been racing too fast and blowing right through any support of that soft rubber and softer sidewall.
Decided to take a Shorty DD 2.5 WT and use a tire cutter to ramp the center knobs. Holy shit. Waaaaay better grip all around so far. Much more confidence inspiring. I recommend this if you are racing loose, dry, alpine conditions.

Yeah, super low pressures don't help. For racing I upped my air more, but with like 10% sag in the fork I was trying to make up for it with softer tires.
I am realizing that stiffer all around is just faster. (insert "that's what she said" here) Harder on the hands but faster.

Cushcore without a doubt the best thing i've done this year. Better than a coil out back for sure (so far)

What’s the difference between maxxis DH casing and Double downs? They seem really close in weight?
