I find the HR2 to be way more slippery than the DHR2, and as you mention,
slower as well. If I had the option I'd be on two DHR2s (that's what I've got
on my 29er), but I only got one in 650B so it's up front. For descending I
don't mind the HR2 out back so I suck up the rolling resistance for the all-
important front tire. It's worth noting that the DHR2 and DHF 2.3 respond well
to wider rims, while the HR2 feels similar on both 23 and 25mm rims. A longer
version of this opinion is coming tonight in the way of a HR2 review.
