29er tyre equivalent to Panaracer XC Pro 2.1

AD1

Currently run Panaracer XC Pro 2.1 on my cube acid Hardtail which suits the trail I ride every week. I have a Canyon 29er on the way so looking at getting a similar tyre to Panaracer XC Pro 2.1 but for 29er. Any recommendations?

Sure, there is an exact match, maybe not so easy to get a hold off but not impossible.

I never bothered going for them, as much as I love the Fire XC Pro, I couldn´t be bothered sourcing them. I went for the CG XC tyre, which is really working well for my riding style and trails (dry fireroads, dry single track, not much mud or roots etc) although I heard they are good enough in the wet and light mud. They roll very fast too as you can tell that from the tread design.

The closest tyre otherwise is probably the Nobby Nick, look similar, behave similar etc. But the choice is massive, I heard lots of good things about the Ardent, so you might want to consider those.

Thanks for the response. Still waiting on the Canyon, will run standard tyres that come with the bike for a while, and purchase replacement tyres when required.
