Knob vomit from Maxxis

Maxxis: taking the shlttiest design ideas from Continental in 2004, and bringing them back to you in 2014!
They're not that unlike a schwalbe handsRdamp. So I mean hey.......one more shltty tire on the market for those guys! 
but yes, these actually look worse

Fun fact: There are a sh!t ton of riders who have never tried a decent tire.They're not that unlike a schwalbe handsRdamp. So I mean hey.......one more shltty tire on the market for those guys!

Triple dog dare you to google that.

that's cool they put the UCI MTB logo on there. Definitely a promising logic for a cornering knob.

Ya know, if you looked at this "tire" the right way, maybe it could be sold as the Woo™ bomber tire. Then sue Marzocchi of course.

"Designed by BM"
So is it design by vomit or BMs?

Well technically, when things are really awry, it can be both.
If the knoobs are facing every direction that means you get maximum traction in EVERY direction right??

"Make the world a better place. Kick an mtb tire designer in the nuts today"
That one doesn't have quite the volume of knob vomit. That's more like a knob shart.

Hey the dude apparently got stoned and drew an archipelago... dream job?
I think that was the worst tire I ever had. That includes a Mobster, a Weirwolf, a Mutanoraptor, Dart, Smoke, panaracer fire, et al...Continental sure thought so.
Not even a fvcking spider could stick to that thing it was so hard (<-- straight to the no-context thread)
You should try one of these.
It's in no way shape or form similar.
Not at all.
Totally different. Not even close.
I mean you can just SEE how different it is right? The continental just throws a bunch of angles around all over the place.
That schwalbe........nah totally different.

Oh god on a heckler too.
Your strength is an inspiration to us all.
Apparently maxxis thinks they can get you on them again.

If you happen to have some HansDerps, try cutting the grouping of 4 outside transition knobs out. Leaves a decent open channel, but then the side knobs are too small, so fold over if ridden too aggressively. You can finesse 'em but can't toss 'em into corners. Still, -- helps turn a barely mediocre trail tires into barely decent trail tire.

Only new tire I care about trying is the Slaughter from speshsuelized.
I'm designing and developing ATV tires for a different company these days. So...
These should just be a licorice flavored cereal.Ya know, if you looked at this "tire" the right way, maybe it could be sold as the Woo bomber tire. Then sue Marzocchi of course.
that idea won't gain any traction either...
That was borderline genius.
You guys should remember that MOST people don't know how to properly corner on a mountain bike, and/or ride trails that don't have aggressive lean angle corners in the first place. Tires such as the Hans Dampf may actually be better suited for the skills of the majority of riders. This is not a bad thing.
Tire companies are actually pretty smart to design tires which better suit the much larger market of intermediate riders, are they not?

Good point, but we, the idle miscreant bicycle connoisseurs of Ridemonkey, represent the elite 1%, or those who know how to corner properly. As a result, our scorn for bike plebes and their unsophisticated tire treads is justified, and in fact, necessary.
ah yes, the provider of my most spectacular crash *shudders"Continental sure thought so.
They can scare a lot of people.
They may not get the tire layed over enough and end up riding on the transition channel, so they feel a bit sketch.

Sadly, I may have cracked a smile. I was standing like this at my keyboard though:Could you type that with a straight face?
I'm having a hard time reading with one.
