Comments about Kenda Excavator DTC Tire Folding:
I wanted something for the wet and muddy conditions of the Oregon Coast Range. These shed mud fantastically; so well that by time I got home on my first ride with them there was barely any mud on the tire, but the other tire's tread was packed with mud. They hold on leaves and roots as well.
I'm going to air these up and see how heavy they feel on pavement. Whenever I'm on pavement at trail pressures, these are slow and heavy as others have said.
Weight weenie nitpick: they were nearly 20% over spec on the weight even though the packaging said +/-5%.

Comments about Kenda Excavator DTC Tire Folding:
Replaced a Nevegal DTC 2.1 with the Excavator. This review is for the 2.1 size. The first thing I noticed is that the tire was quiet and rolling resistance was much less. It hooks up just as good as a Nevegal, maybe better. I run a Blue Groove 2.35 (F) and now the Excavator 2.1 (R) both DTC. I might even get a 2.35 for the front when the Blue Groove wears out. Good in wet, rocks, snow, mud. All around great tire!

Comments about Kenda Excavator DTC Tire Folding:
Used on the front of my xc hard tail. Rolls much faster and leans better than the nevegal I had up there. It has great grip levels and has been great on all the dry conditions ive tried it on, hardpack, loose over hardpack, rocks. Havent tried it in the wet/mud or roots. Allows you to go much faster and deeper into corners with out wondering if the tire will slide out. Pumped up it works as great as a knobbie can work on the streets. Great tire if you dont want to sacrifice grip for speed. Folding tire installed super easy
Pros
- Amazing In Loose Sand
- Great cornering
- On the light side
Cons
- None so far

Comments about Kenda Excavator DTC Tire Folding:
Im really liking these tires. I had the Nevegals, but I think the Excavators roll a little bit faster, yet still grip really nice. Zero regrets so far. Unless I exp something bad later on, I'll be buying these again.

Best Uses
Comments about Kenda Excavator DTC Tire Folding:
I completely agree with what Tim the tool man wrote-these things make you feel like you are pedalling through mud all the time. I bought these and put them on my new bike, but Im going to switch back to my WTB tires and see if its much faster. These tires have the best grip in sand Ive ever seen, and I had Kenda Nevegals before the WTB tires
Pros
- 120 Tpi
- Good Mud Shedding
- Solid Tred
- Wicked Cornering
Cons
- Major Rolling Resistance
Best Uses
- Xc Or Am
Comments about Kenda Excavator DTC Tire Folding:
Folding Bead easy to install on rims; good rubber for the $$; tred is top-tier; side knobs grip like fly paper; but the roll kills, like peddling through mud
