Are 2.4 Tires Actually 2.4"? Real Widths for Maxxis, Schwalbe, Pirelli & Continental

LoveMTB Review 15 days ago

Description

Does tire size actually matter if the ETRTO numbers are wrong? 📏 In this video, I'm cutting through the marketing and measuring the actual width of the most popular 29 x 2.4 XC and light trail tires on the market today. 🚲

Focusing on current favorites: 🔹 Maxxis Aspen 🔹 Schwalbe Rick XC 🔹 The new Pirelli Scorpion series 🔹 Continental Trinotal and Dubnital

We look at how they measure up on 30mm and 26/27mm rims and whether the manufacturer’s ETRTO specs actually hold up in the real world. 🧐
