Syncros Tires

[King*Cole]

Does anybody have any information on the BHT tires? Weights? On their site it doesnt talk about the BHT 1,2,3 its just 1 tire. Are 1,2,3 the old tires? Also has anyone rode them (how do they feel?)

the bht's are basically badass. I run the monster sized versions 2.7" front and 2.5" back, they're monstrously heavy but stick like nothing else (think nevegal but tackier). I rock them every time i'm riding lift assisted but otherwise stick to the nevegals. my buddy is rockingthe 2.3" front and rear. those are more reasonably weighted but the knobs are not quite as tall. if you don't mind the weight, these are probably the best tires going for mud/roots like we've got up here in the pnw

Huh, that's good to hear. I may give them a try when the tires on my Dirtbag give out. Then I can use my 2.5 Nevies on the Coiler D...mwahaha...

I'm most likely building up a Sinister Gruitr in a couple of months. Guys over on the Sinister boards are saying a 2.35 recomended rear tire size but a couple of posts that Maxxis DHR 2.5's fitting fine, etc. I'd like to go as large as possible but want to be realistic as to what will fit.

FYI, the bike will be built up as "do it all" as I can get it. Aggressive trail/wannabe FR, with a lift trip maybe once/wishing twice a year. Maybe stick with the 2.35 BHT rear?
Or, front AND rear? Or, 2.35 R and a BHT front 2.5? (Will probably run a Lyrik Coil U-Turn at 160)
Opinions?
I just know of many large volume 2.35's that are/look MUCH bigger than some stated 2.5's.
After re-reading bent^biker's post above, I'm thinking that these are Def. the ticket for our east coast slippery rocks and roots!
Any information appreciated!

Don't know about BHT, but I've got the FLT & Point N Chute 3's, with those they come in three versions Factory & Hardcore & something else - Factory is the lightest, Hardcore significantly heavier.

I just won a pair of them last weekend 2.5f 2.35r but don't have a bike to put them on.

I run the 2.5 BHT fronts on the f&R. I like the front rubber and tread better than the rear. Very good tire for the roots, mud and rocks.

I was running a set of BHTs on the Bullit. The front tracks great, even on the slippery gravel stuff. The rear could use some stronger sidewalls though, had a pinch flat on the first day. I ended up swapping out the rear for a Tioga.

What size are those monsters in the photos of your Bullit?

2.5's or 2.7's ?

Thanks!

2.7s. I can't say enough good things about the front one. :cheers:

I had a look at the syncros site, the BHT is either 863g (LW race version in 2.5) or 1260 (regular front). I would say 1, 2 ,3 is their old system.
