trialsiain Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 so im looking at new tyres, been using tryall stiky light which has been good but wearing a bit low now (6 months old). should i get another one of those or try a der kaiser ? ive heard that the der kasier is really bouncy ? Also, what are the rubber queen 2.4s like compared to derkaiser/ tryall. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Try all is a great tyre in terms of weight and puncture resistance, as well as still offering great grip and looking smart. Wears really quick though. Kaiser is a relatively heavy tyre when new, amazing grip and great bounce, especially with side nobbles removed. Not a bad wear rate either. Rubber queen was too bouncy for my liking, felt really unstable, still has great grip and is an impressive weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customrider-Rhys Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Maxxis minions are good.. lighter than a standard try all tyre while being gripper and lighter than the conti's.. cheaper than a der kaiser.. good wear rate and the nobbles are massive so it really wraps to stuff! I cut every other side nobble off mine which looks good to. Highly recommend Edited November 18, 2013 by customrider-Rhys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Bit different to what you're looking at but DMR Moto RT's are awesome for street, me and a friend couldn't believe how much grip I was getting in the dry and wet haha.

dngr2self Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'd agree with what Jack said about the Der Kaiser. Mine lasted about a year of riding a couple of times a week and still had a few months of life left. Also am I right in thinking they're just a rebranded rubber queen?

Mark W Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Definitely not - the Rubber Queen and Der Kaiser are entirely different. Different tread pattern, casing, compound, weight, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Been looking at the kenda nevegal 2.5 stickE, might try one I think carthy used to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I found my old rubber queens sidewalls a bit too thin, they didn't last too long after failed sidehops before the thread started showing through. A part from the one rubber queen I've always used maxxis tyres, never had any complaints over weight, bounce or grip levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0zzy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 der Kaiser/der baron or a try all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Been looking at the kenda nevegal 2.5 stickE, might try one I think carthy used to use them I ran one for ages, only good if you run very high pressures due to it being the thinnest tyre ever with awful puncture resistance, mine ripped after a while too, wouldn't recommend one Kaiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 der kaiser, can be had for fairly cheap off ebay, with one seller doing them for £79 a pair brand new including postage. Failing that, der kaiser projekt 2.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
