Seem them in this picture

Would love to find out more info. I heard lighter.

Let me make a phone call. I'll get the skinny on them maybe. I heard at one time the bighorn was going to be upgraded to run flat technology. This was by a Maxxis rep.

 

[Koko]

Sounds good. Maybe this is a runflat and not a lighter version.

So many different tire choices. :BangHead: :BangHead:

OK just got this from my contact at Maxxis.

Bighorn 2.0

Based on the legendary Bighorn, the new Bighorn 2.0 is a lightweight version that mimics the tread design of the original, with a slimmer profile. The non-directional pattern provides predictable cornering and claws up roots and rocks, creating optimum climbing confidence. The Bighorn 2.0 boasts a 6-ply rating, offering the durability that you’ve grown to expect from Bighorn tires.
For more information on the new Bighorn 2.0, visit your local dealer or go to Maxxis.com.

Here are the pictures I have just received.

Interesting...I think this would warrant a comparison test to our recent Bighorn review.

Is it no longer a radial?

I really like the seemingly flatter tread design on the new 2.0.

i realy want those

 

[GRIZZLYWIZARD]

I have yet to hear when a release date will be.

The 26" and up normal bighorns have a flat profile. :icon_thumleft:

If they are 6ply, I wonder how they will comare to the Dirt Tamer. I know it is alot cheaper then the big horn, but is 6ply.. It would be interesting if Maxxis brought out theirs cheaper then the Dirt Tamer.

That would be nice ccasion14:
Here it is

I did a fundraiser 2 years ago and bought a set of dirttamers for MuddyEiger over at Northeastatvers. The tread looks great and they were light weight. The downside is they puncture easy. His second ride out they had a flat. 6ply or not they were just not as durable. They just are not as durable.

 

[wildwest]

That is why you are the tiah guru. :notworthy:

Maxxis will continue to be my #1 choice when I go to purchase tires in the fall/winter.

 

[Mack450]

when will we see these 2.0s???????

 

[GRIZZLYWIZARD]

Not sure when the release will be.

Maxxis informed me last week that they should be at retailers in around 60 days. So I guess we're looking at around 50 days now.
