Good afternoon everyone.

Just spent the sfternoon on the search reading about the Maxxis Aspens however i still can't get the size into my head. I had seen the 2.1 on a number of pros bikes at the Dalby world cup and it looked big for a 2.1. Just wondered how the 2.25 ranks up against my MK 2.4" that i currently have. Alot of the American forums are saying they are very quick for a large volume tyre. The 2.1 looked big enough and i don't want a massive tyre like the MK 2.4 again.

Can anyone tell me if its the same width and volume as the MK 2.4?

Cheers

    the new maxxis 2.25s are not far off a mk 2.4.

    i have a 2.1 aspen on the back of my yeti at the mo and find it suprisingly grippy giving how fast and light the tyre is, it does come out at pretty much 2.1"
