Weighed weight: Fewer grams is better, but usually costs casing stability.

64 tires with a measured value – best value 592 g (source: ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine Labortest 2025).

Weight of the tested version as weighed by the test lab – often different from the manufacturer's claim.

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.
