Dh22 short term test
So i have been riding a Dh22 since the Ixs dirtmasters in Winterberg. I have riden the tire in the sloppy mud we had in winter berg and the dusty hardpack we have in my local bike park here in sweden, and everything there inbetween. I have had the dh22 on the front of my 2021 commencal meta tr with 170mm traver in the front and 140mm travel in the back, it has a push acs3 coil kit in the fork and a ext storia v3 lok as the rear shock. I allways ride with cushcore pro out back for the sake of tire support and to increase the life span of my rear wheels. I weigh 74~ kg's with my riding gear and am 180 cm tall. I ride predomently endruo and downhill. The tire setup for most of my testing was the dh22 in the front and a worndown dh34 with cushcore pro out back. I will treat the DH22 as a downhill tire and will only compare it to other dh spec tires. So my opinions of the tire: The grip is very predictable and unrelenting even in super dusty and quite muddy conditions. The rolling resistance is not that bad in downhill applications, it rolls surprisingly fast even at 15 psi. However it still falls short of someting like the specialized cannibal and its super fast rolling tread. The casing is super supportive and really holds its shape even when the pressures get really low. However a caviat to this is how harsh the casing is compared to something like a maxxis Dh or specialized gridgravity casing. However i had to run cushcore to give the aforementioned tires the same level of support of the dh22 and eventhen i had to run 18-20 psi in them. I accidentaly had the DH22 at 8-10 psi down a run of loose lee in winterberg, the tire did squirm a bit in the berms and jumps but it was still stable enough to send the big road gap without incident. The tread pattern is open enough for it to dig thru dust and shed mud. The tire lugs do not squirm under heavy breaking or hard riding. The only problem i have with the Dh22 is that it is wire bead, Thankfully the new Dh22 has fixed this with its foldable bead. I have a wish, i really wish that the dh22 could be made in a softer more plyable casing like the one you can find on the wild enduro ms. However unlike the wild enduro ms i would like it to keep the soft and super sticky magi-x dh rubber and the lower and flatter profile of the dh22, Sort of like the old wild enduro front racing line.

Cracked after 2 rides
Very disappointed in this dh22 I just put on my bike.. Cracked all around the sidewall after only 2 rides on it..
