Love these tires! I beat the heck out of them while riding double black diamond downhill trails on my Specialized Turbo Kenevo emtb and they take the punishment really well. Top level downhill tire and much cheaper than the rest, especially when on sale!

We use the gravity casing Eliminators on the rear of our Levos with Butcher Trail T7s on the front. I think the gravity casing is appropriate for the Levo e-mtb on the rear. The problem is that the side lugs on this tire are made with the T9 compound and they die too fast. An All-T7 compound tire would be great - the lugs on the Trail T7s don't seem to die as fast, but the casing just seems to not hold up. An ideal e-bike tire in my opinion would be T7 all around (or maybe T5/T7?) with the beefy gravity casing. This is all on a pair of his/her Levos with 2500 miles of single track on each. We ride everything from PNW hero-dirt to Moab slickrock to Sedona shattered rock/sand - anything we can ride basically. We are single track trail riders - not park riders.

This has become my go-to rear tire for my trail and enduro bikes. I think the Butcher and Eliminator are similar to the Maxis DHF/DHR tire family as grip and casing are similar to EXO but at half the cost. I use Grid Gravity and T7/T9 on my enduro bike and Grid Trail and T7 on my trail bike. They also wear very well. I usually stock up when these go on sale several times a year. Overall I am a big fan!

Good traction on trails. This is the second dual compound tire I have had. The softer compound wears very fast and doesn’t have a long lasting grip. I have also noticed the side walls on these tires track gown rather quickly. I do ride a lot of rock gardens. After 200 miles the belt lines on the side of the tire start to show.

I ran the Eliminator 2.6 and 2.3 as rear tires this year (really about 2.5” and 2.4” respectively) in almost exclusively dry, dusty conditions, mostly hard or loose over hard, with some slightly loamy, rocky, and rooty bits here in CO. I got about 7-8 heavy bike park days on the 2.6 before the intermediate and edge knobs started tearing off. I ran a Butcher 2.6 up front most of the season, but swapped on an Eliminator 2.6 for the last few rides. I really like it even on the front. Good grip, predictable, fast-rolling, and tough. I had zero flats. Price is the best among major brands for DH tires.

Love this tire for variety of conditions. Fast rolling on hard pack and gravel, but still grippy on technical down hills. Easy to mount and sealed right up as tubeless. 2.6” adds a little cush to the hardtail.

In the past I had always used Maxxis, mainly just because everyone else seemed to be riding them. It wasn't until I got my Levo with these on it that I found out how good a tyre can be. For the riding I do (mid level at best) and the trails (a mix of stuff - from fire trails to damp, rocky forest single track) I have found these the best all round tyre I've used in a very long time.

Great value

This has become my goto rear tire. Harder T7 compound in the center for good rolling and softer T9 on the outer knobbies for better traction. I have been going with the Grid Gravity sidewalls for better protection in the sharp rocks of the Tucson desert riding.

Delivers what it promises.
