Continental Kryptotal 29x2.4 Review


Pros:
- Traction front and rear. They grip better than the Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.5 and Aggressor 2 Rear 29x23.5
- Cornering. The grip in the corners is incredible!
- Price. Enduro-cased tires are similarly priced to Maxxis noncased options.
Cons:
- Rolling resistance. Climbing sucks with this rear tire! It's insane.
- Tighter tolerances make putting on the tire difficult.

Overview:
The Continental Kryptotals are amazing Tires that provide excellent grip in wet winter conditions. They worked great in the mud at Sandy Ridge in November and did great on the frosted ground at Black Rock. Their only enemy is tons of pine needles. These are definitely the best tires I have ever used. They assure me that when I'm going into a corner in winter weather, I can send it and not lose grip. Climbing, however, has become incredibly more difficult with this tire set. The rolling resistance feels about double what the Aggressor 2 rear was. You don't really notice it on the downhill, and minimal speed is lost. If you are even considering these tires, Buy Them.


                      Rear: Maxxis left, Continental right           Front: Continental left, Maxxis right.

Fox Airspace Review

Image
  The Fox Airspace's are an incredible goggle. Priced at only $64.95, they are a very enticing goggle in both performance, quality, and affordability.  Features: -VLS: Variable Lens System allows you to easily swap out the lens. - Removable nose guard - Triple layer foam with fleece lining - Supports tear away lenses Pros: - FOV: They have a far greater vertical field of view than any of the other goggles I've tried in this price bracket. - They are well ventilated and I have not had them fog up once during this winter season in the rain. Cons: - They are large, and may not fit your helmet. - The original lens scratches relatively easily. Overview: I really like these goggles. They are incredible, at an unbeatable price. I like them so much more than the offerings from 100% that I've tried in this price category. If you are considering this goggle, just go ahead and buy it.
