Great tyre and great price... Haven't gone back to Maxxis since trying them out.

Been running Purgatory on the back and decided to try the Butcher this time and couldn't be happier running it both front and back. The setup works terrifically on the quickly changing terrain and sketchy sections of technical SFLA trails. Sand, loose over hardback, rocky, rooty paths that can pinch ruin casings. Rubber grips great in the rain too, on trails or pavement on suburban rides.

Stiffer sidewalls, awesome grip. Super happy!

Put the 29x2.3 on the front of my Stumpjumper 6fattie that's currently all 29er. The Butcher Black Diamond looks amazing and performs well. Set-up tubeless on Stan's ZTR S1 rim wasn't bad. Coaxed it on with tire levers, and after lubing the rim with soap-water, the bead snapped in place first time using compressed air. I run pressures nearer to 35 psi at the moment due to dry hard pack conditions and not infrequent street riding. The traction is amazing even at the higher pressure. Air loss is insignificant using about 3oz of sealant. Initially had around 20 psi, which offered amazing traction and comfort on some single track but chose to bump that up for the more mundane day to day riding I do. I'm not really sure if the Butcher is designed to be more of a front or rear tire, but don't think you can go wrong either way. I'm likely going to get another Butcher for a backup/replacement tire precisely because it would be so versatile. The Black Diamond version just looks so awesome too!

In 27.5x2.6 these are better than Magic Mary's ,so much more confident on them whether it be rocky descents or single track phenomenal grip , enough flex to keep the bike planted yet grippy ,I even chucked a set on my wife's Ebike and it's transformed her confidence

Best tires I've used on my Levo, Stumpjumper and many other bikes.

I've been riding this tire tubeless at 20 psi & the sidewalls have amazing rigidity & hold their show railing corners. I would highly recommend this tire & I will be buying it again.
