Maxxis Dissector, BEST Aggressive Trail Tire? Next to Minion DHF and DHR2

[@BudoDave76]

I’m a huge fan of the dissector. I run it as a rear on my Enduro bike with an assegai front. On my HT I run it on the front with a rekon rear. The DHRII is just way to slow running for me on both climbing and accelerating.

[@bobtraweek3087]

Do you feel the DHR is slower than the Assegai on the front?

[@BudoDave76]

@@bobtraweek3087 I don’t run a DHR in the front but some people do and tend to like it. I prefer the assegai in the front for bike park or ebike. It’s slow rolling but a ton of grip in the corners but you gotta really get the bike moving for it to come alive.

I have the Dissector front and rear on my Trail 429. I love it as a rear tire but the jury is out as a front. Also had it as a front on my Ripley with the Rekon out back. I place a premium on climbing and it does shine there. Fast rolling tire.

[@jakesteve5803]

I found on my Meta TR, that matching Dissector / Dissector was NOT a winning combo. Dropping to a Rekon rear was fine for faster rolling XC terrain, and upping the front to a DHF was my preference, but matched the front end kept washing out on me. (Clearly I need a lack of balance in grip F/R.)

[@MTBMOR]

Do you find the aggressor lacking in grip in the softer dirt we get in the rutts or in the bottom corners on the steeps? I've ridden the Aggressor on multiple bikes and I felt it losing tracking in some of the sketchier parts of the trails.

@@MTBMOR Hey bro yup your right. I ride soaks all the time, some parts like old goat and even hawk my rear tires loose grip. The aggressor I benefit mostly on climbing less rolling resistance thank my usual rear tire set up which is the DHR 2. I have a La Sal peak that has 2.5 front aggressor front and 2.3 on rear, very fast bike on climbing and ok on the descends.

[@TivonSanders]

​​@@PaoloskyxrdI recently bought a 2.3 Aggressor for the rear of my bike, and I went to it from Continental Race King's for front and rear. The Aggressor blows the RK's outta the water with climbing abilities. I commute too, and the Aggressor's are surprisingly a great tire on the roads as well. I run anywhere between the high 20's to 40 psi with tire pressures, depending on terrain, and the Aggressor's do better with rolling resistance in the high 30's to low 40's on pavement, mid to high 20's on the trails.

[@rickschock4642]

Thanks for all the excellent videos! I used the information on this video to help me choose upgrade tires for the 2021 season. I have a short travel trail bike (21 Trance) ridden in southern Ontario. The bike had a Maxxis 2.4 Minion DHF on the front and a 2.4 Aggressor on the rear. Those tires had impressive grip but I could feel the rolling resistance at slower speeds and I thought they were overkill for the riding I do. i switched to a 2.4 WT Dissector for the front and a 2.4 WT Rekon on the rear. This pairing has been great, after riding them for most of 2021. They definitely have lower rolling resistance and have impressive grip and weigh less; a little less grip on wet rocks and roots that the original tires, but still very acceptable. Thanks for the advice and reviews!

I think that the Dissector is a good rear when the Recon rear is not enough grip.

Love the content! I just installed a 29x2.4" dual compound EXO Maxxis dissector yesterday on my Devinci trail bike and have just one ride on it. It seemed nearly as grippy as the DHR II it replaced as a front tire. I would have liked the 3C version but it was not in stock. I'll have to watch out for that drift zone in the corners, similar to a DHF (which I'm not a fan of). I weighed the tire before installed it at 950 g which is about 20 g less than my 2.4" DHR II and 75 g less then the 2.5" DHF that came stock on the bike. I'm hoping it rolls faster than the either of the minions. I also recognized that wooden whale tail from Kelso having just rode it this week while visiting a friend in Milton.

Rekon is not fast or grippy in my opinion, I'm done with those. Assegai I think is extremely grippy and I think a tad less draggy than DHR up front. Also another consideration is the casing. I only run Exo+, I find the offer a bit more compliance/squish. Double down is overkill for my purposes in terms of weight. My buddy rides a High Roller II, I haven't tried that yet but it's worth a look. Lastly, tire width also plays a part. The wider the tire, the more grip, so that's a consideration. The rear-oriented. tires (Dissector, DHR) only come in 2.4 or 2.6, a 2.5 DHR would be killer. Happy Riding to you my friend!

Anyone here run this dissector 2.4 on a 29er with 27mm internal wide rim? Wondering if it will be ok since it’s spec’d for 30-35mm internal. Thanks!

They remind me of tioga psycho 2s

3:19 I would just add that there is a max pressure for the tire, but there is also a max pressure for the rim. In this case, though the max pressure for the tire is 50 psi, according to the DT Swiss site, the max pressure for the rim itself - with this tire at an ETRTO of 61- 622 - the max pressure is around 44 psi. Some rims, particularly wider ones, may be lower, and it's lower as the tire width goes up as well. The 2.6" on this rim has a max pressure closer to 40 psi. Complying with the lower of the two pressures may prevent blowing the tire off the rim while waiting overnight for the tire to stretch. I certainly wouldn't panic over it, but it's something to consider. On a separate note, I'm using the Dissector rear with the Assegai front and like the combo. The Dissector is wearing a bit much, though (29x2.4 WT in DC). As far as braking is concerned, it's not quite at the DHRII level, for sure, but the vast majority of my braking is on the front tire. Decelerating on steep terrain does that! They roll quite well. I've timed my climbs, usually over the course of over 1000' of climbing, and they are considerably faster/less drag than DHRII's!

[@renzlawmtb8305]

thats way too narrow. Wide Trail (WT) are optimized for 30-35mm inner rim widths.

I absolutely hated the dissector on the back slid all over when you lean it over

Summer time when I was running it

[@dman5703]

@@LoveMTB it's when you go to aggressively hit a berm the side knobs don't transition well. So it it kinda slides into its grip and some time outright drifts. On the front I've yet to run it so can't say I'm interested in seeing how it does there

Maxxis Assegai Front Maxxis Dissector Rear

[@neocrashburn]

@@LoveMTB To be honest, Assegai is too much for the trails we have available in GTA. I wouldn't recommend if riding area is limited to GTA.

[@Ghostina1]

I use that during the winter...

[@neocrashburn]

@@Ghostina1 That's a good idea. This season I will keep things as is, but next season I might try a different pair.

[@catg9196]

Im not a fan of wide channels in the front. Unpredictable cornering for me. My former bike had dhf front. Switch to dhr after a month. Now both of my bikes have dhrs.

[@headholio]

PSI =pounds per square inch. It's not PSI's or PS eyes LOL. No pluralization needed. Example:. The tire was filled to 35 psi.

mate, this is not an language class. we dont need your criticism here.

Rock razor gravity is better than dissector imo rear view

[@geoffgibb8485]

Disliked the Dissector on the front of my Pivot!

[@LoveMTB]

With you on that, running it as a rear though and it’s good

[@geoffgibb8485]

@LoveMTB currently running the Aggressor on the rear and Assegai on the front. Seems about perfect for the riding I do.

[@LoveMTB]

@@geoffgibb8485 yeah for dry/ hard pack the Agressor is a great tire

[@TonchoTonev]

​@@LoveMTB how long does it last as a front tire. I'm currently trying to choose what combo to put on my trail hardtail?

[@323johnnybravo]

It’s a great rear tire but just wears out so fast I’ll probably go back to the DHR2.
