MTB Tire Guide

Impact protection

Impact protection: A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.

41 tires with a measured value – best value 85.5 % (source: ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine Labortest 2025).

A test body strikes the tread with defined energy. The result is reported as a percentage score within the test field.

How we calculate

One shared selection for every tire. Secondary values use measurement points from the same test series only.

More pressure: less rolling resistance, less grip, less comfort. Tougher casing: more protection, more weight. Softer compound: more grip, more rolling resistance.

No measured values are available for this selection yet.

Values from different test rigs are deliberately kept in separate blocks. More on that under Sources & method.
