HBD Merica!!!
Wanted a special ride to celebrate today. Took a spill but still took an extra lap to get to 30mile milestone. 🍻

Didn’t do Hiline last time out in Sedona and regretted it.
Did it once and I think I’m good on doing it again unless a buddy really wants to go. Kicked my ass for sure.

NFD but still apart of the gang gang
Went from a Trek Roscoe gen 3 to a Banshee Paradox v3. Some parts are getting swapped over and others are new.
The hype is real w Banshee and the paradox. Pedaling while seated, I don’t feel as much of the small bumps and it doesn’t buck as much on the larger bumps. The bike does feel more like a FS with a locked rear shock than my old alu HT.
The new…
29x2.6 Continental Kryptotal enduro soft front and Magnotal trail grip rear.
Shimano XT 165mm cranks with gold Absolut Black 30t oval chainring.
Blue Cane Creek Hellbender headset and matching bottom bracket.
Gold Race Face Turbine 780mm bar w Wolf Tooth Fat grips.
Magura MT Trail 4 pot calipers with XT levers.
WTB titanium Koda saddle.

Currently running a Bontrager XR4 on the front and Maxxis Rekon race on the rear on my HT in 29x2.6.
I’m looking into replacing w Continentals front and rear. I want the Magnotal trail casing w/grip compound on the rear but not sure which front to go with. I want a more aggressive tread and softer compound in the front.
Looks like my options are Kryptotal enduro casing soft compound or trail casing with endurance compound because they are the next level of aggressiveness in their lineup in 29x2.6.
I think the enduro casing is too much for me but they only offer a softer compound in the enduro casing and not the trail casing. How does the Magnotal grip compound compare to endurance compound and the soft compound of the Kryptotals?
