Just looking for some quicker rolling tire combos for riding in Ontario, mostly riding the Hydrocut and Pines.

Thinking along the lines that I am riding alone more pedalling than jumps and stuff like that. I am currently on a Transition Smuggler.

Thanks!

What tires are you currently running?
When you ride the pines you're sticking to the xc tracks and not the hubs?

Dissector 2.4/Aggressor 2.3 on my full suss. Vittoria Barzo's 2.35 on my XC hardtail.

Currently running:

Minion DHR/DHF

I am thinking the cross country loops or pedalling Turkey Point. Not really Doug’s hub, I will use my other combo for that. Just want a bit more rolling speed when pedalling.

Hmmm i just copped a set of DHF/DHR2 since I haven't had Maxxis before. Coming from the stock specialized butcher/purgatory that were on my bike. I'm hoping that it's not that much slower. I ride the Don Valley mostly so hoping these would help with some of the punchy climbs over roots and rocks.

I agree with vwl, I run the dissector/aggressor combo as well.
You could also look at a Minion SS or Recon for the rear if mostly doing the xc stuff

Just a little update.

Currently I have Rekon’s on the front and back. Picked the pair up for a great price.

I have rode Turkey Point twice now and have noticed a significant difference! I’ll keep an eye out for a dissector but for now I am rolling quick!

Thanks for the help and happy trails!

If you are enjoying the Rekons I would stick with them. The Dissector might slow you down a little in comparison.
If you have a second wheelset for the hubs at the pines then I think you found a winning combo
