I got the AGC 29x2.4 front no insert and ATC 29x2.4 rear w/ cushcore to swap out a still good condition 2.5 DHF 3Cgrip dh casing front and well worn 2.4 DHR2 3Cterra exo+ w/ cushcore rear. I was really interested in trying these as it’s drying up around here and I want to see if something rolls noticeably better than the standard dhf/dhr2 combo while still having some large knobs for hard cornering and braking. I have from the beginning had a very good feeling! It gives you immediate confidence. It could be a really fantastic tire on dry bike parks. It's too early to confirm but i feel that for my trails (when there is no mud), i prefer the Pinner over the Hellkat. I will let sit the Pinner for 24/48 hours at 2.5bar, and see if it will stretch a bit. This is something strange that i don't understand. My hellkat with same rims and at same pressure is 60,5mm casing and 61mm knobs. The width: at riding pressure: 58mm at the casing, 59mm at the widest knobs.įrom review i've seen they say 62mm at the knobs, and Aaron Gwin say the casing was a little more volume than the hellkat. Who wants more will have AEC and AGC version. I think that for trail riding the Pinner ATC it's an overkill casing. This Pinne seems more like my Hellkat AEC casing. I have an hellkat atc and helldiver atc and nevegal2 atc as reference. The casing is very supple, it seems not the "old" ATC. Well, It rolls well, but it weight a lot more than the Hellkat ATC. Not ride today on rocks, but i've try roots. If the feeling remain the same, i think i will always use a tire with open channel in front! Never try a Dhf, i'm not an hardcore enduro racer, but an intermediate trail rider with some light enduro and easy bike parks in summer. The thing that i really liked is in some hardpack turns that i've done hundreds of times, i really carved curves as i never done before with front tires with transition knobs. It gives more confidence and gives you a better sensation of whats happening under you. On loose over hard, and on kitty litter over hard, it has a better feeling than the hellkat. On the trails the feeling is really good. This Pinner seem exactly what they say, a better, dry/hardpack version of the Hellkat. With a less input, the bike lean more into the turn.ĭespite his weight, the front of the bike is very agile, and the feeling is of a more lightweight tire in tight sections with many slow turns. The feeling when cornering(both on pavement and on dirt), is different. The profile seems only a very little more rounded than the hellkat, but not very much. how much? Too early to say, maybe the felling is 10/20% ? On pavement transfers to the trails, the "buzz" sound when rolling is different than the hellkat. I've not let the tire inflated to maximum pressure for 24/48 hours, but mounted them, put sealant in it and went out for a short easy test ride. The tire mounted well on my 29mm internal width rims. This time, i was confident about kenda, and that they say it is predictable. I was always scared about the transition and vague zone of the Dhf and so i never try one. The pinner is my first front tire without transition knobs and an open channel. I've always used an Hellkat 2.4 in front as an allrounder, and i'm happy. The side knobs area bigger(larger area) than the ones on the Hellkat. The center knobs are bigger and taller than what i've expected from internet pictures. So, today, first short ride with the Pinner 2.4 ATC in front (Helldiver 2.4 ATC on the back)įirst of all, on the package is printed that the tire is designed for 28mm internal width rims(ideal), but suitable also from 24mm to 32mm
