Currently on closeout for $35, down from 65.

Call your local Terk dealer or do the google thing, I don't care.

I just ordered a set since kidwoo loves them so much.

[kidwoo]

No they suck. Don't buy any. Back off.

MINE!!!!!11oneone

I remember there is a review out there, but remind me, is the 2.35 likely to be a solid trail tire?

(currently ride 2.5 DHF front/rear, climbing can suck at times)

 

[kidwoo]

If it weren't a dh casing yes. But it is, so no. If you've got weak sized wheels they've got a trail version coming out.

 

[Nick]

I ride 26 because ... well, you know.

My Minions are the EXO casing. I rode a funny wheel Spesh SJ in NV that had a great tire combo, but I don't think they're made in the classic, vintage flavor.

 

[Sandwich]

some jerk on bluster gear review thinks they're pretty good, but I'm not sure if he knows anything.

 

[4130biker]

I heard you shouldn't listen to that guy, he rides 26 inch bikes, or something.

 

[4130biker]

Tempted to get these for my demo even though I don't need them yet. Getting a little concerned about decent options for my obsolete bike :/

I have some 650b versions for my trail bike. They are great. Roll a bit slow, but good for shedding mud like things should that happen. And the DH casing makes them heavy, but I appreciate that as it makes them feel indestructible.

I'd totally rock them as a DH tire on my olde tyme 26" DH bike. Solid replacements for Minion DHF's IMO.

yeah I won't lie, seeing them go on "closeout" suggests to me that they won't exist in a while. I do believe that there are enough 26 riders to keep the lights on at the maxxis 26" dhf factory, but I wouldn't be surprised if these tires go away now that every company is pushing 26.75.

I got my first good spin on them at Highland yesterday. They were great in the rocky bits (Maiden) and the newer cut loamy stuff. And surprisingly good on the hard packed flowy trails. Might no roll as well as my Butchers or Minions on that stuff, but not enough to be a nuisance. Big thumbs up so far. Especially for the price.

 

[Sandwich]

Thanks for the tip dude. I couldn't remember your user name when I posted this...

 

[schwaaa31]

Lets ride soon. Highland is in top shape. Dusty in places. They could actually use a little rain. I honestly thought we'd be fighting mud from all the snow until June around here.

 

[Sandwich]

I was there on Friday...don't tell my boss!

I'm with you though, looking forward to Jiminy or B.East to open to get some real DH in. I like highland but I suck at jumping.

 

[IH8Rice]

if youre feeling cheap but want minions, i got mine for $38/each for a DHR and DHF on zee german website bike-discount.

These are better in almost every way except for maybe rolling resistance.

You can't get them in a hard rubber though if you run those on the rear. They're not schwalbe or slow reazay slow but they're not 60a fast either.

They definitely brake better and roll worse than a DHF.

 

[blindboxx2334]

are ya'll sure the rubber is still fresh and not expired?

Do these measure up accurately width wise?

Pretty much. The 2.5 is a little bigger than a 2.5 DHF.
