Wasn’t planning this at all, but landed a spot for Cat 4 Gravel Chung Method testing today.
It’s pretty sketchy, so not putting it in the regular test course rotation but definitely interesting.
Excellent, very interesting. Did you manage to ride the course without braking? That must be tricky, as well as the challenge of repeating the same line.
Interesting stuff yet again.
The Thunder Burt jumped by 0.0066 CRR from cat 2 to cat 3, and by 0.0035 from 3 to 4. In comparison, both of the 2.4" tires only jumped by 0.0037 from 2 to 3. Assuming that ratio stays constant would lead to a CRR of 0.0175 for the Peyote and 0.0189 for the Aspen on cat 4, in comparison to the 0.0202 of the Thunder Burt.
That seems reasonable on such a chunky course.
UK grade 1. Nice
Correct no braking. Took a few tries to get length correct on it!
Nin that sounds quite reasonable to me.
I know the picture is very fuzzy but these don’t look like huge MTB tires lol
Curious what they are!
My assumption is a new gravel tire in the 50mm range. A 50 rambler? If so, no one is going to care that isn’t paid to ride their tires.
If you need further proof that no one cares… The 50mm Rambler has been out for years… hahaha…
Maxxis heard that a MTB tire is the fastest and best tire for gravel racing so went all in with DHF/DHR for gravel! 
I’m convinced the tires Maxxis supplies their pro riders with are not the same tires available to us consumers. Every Maxxis tire I’ve ever put on my MTB has felt incredibly slow, even tires like the Rekon Race or Aspen.
Ha! I was thinking, I’m pretty sure my wife’s e-bike came with 700x50 Ramblers. Got home and checked and sure enough, it did.
I understand these tests kind of leave a lot out for a MTB tire, but when we’re talking about gravel… I just don’t understand on the Maxxis tire has lower center knobs, is heavier, and has significantly worse rolling resistance. Having spent a few hundred miles on both tires (on singletrack), I feel like they both corner terribly, but the Conti is noticeably faster rolling. For gravel, I just don’t see why I would run a Maxxis.
You do it when maxxis is your tire sponsor….
As much I’d love to have some companies subsidize my cycling habit, it sure is nice to ride what you like to ride. And you’re kind of obligated to keep your bike/gear clean at all times, i guess it’s a good thing sponsors aren’t exactly knocking my door down.
I am pretty sure it is new Maxxlite tyres that they are coming out with, previous one was VERY fast tyre, but literally paper thin, even more so than Scwalbe Furious Freds 
What do they measure to in real time? Wild that they weigh under 300g in a 2.0…I can’t see how those can withstand anything. Equivalent to an extralight Rene Herse tire.
50 mm wide. Nice profile but crazy thin
