35.2 W · rank 10 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
7.8 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.

Width, casing, compound and pressure – every value on this page follows your pick.
Width, casing and compound decide how a tire really rides. We only show what was actually measured – and label estimates honestly.
Reference: test pressure 24.7 psi (1.70 bar).
More pressure: less rolling resistance, less grip, less comfort. Tougher casing: more protection, more weight. Softer compound: more grip, more rolling resistance.
Modelled values are assumptions based on the stated measurement points – not a lab test.
Editorial assessment on a 1–10 scale. Grip index: 9.3
These grades describe the tire model, not one specific width or compound – no reliable per-version grades exist.
Scores from 1 to 10: higher is better.

The value in brackets is our brand-neutral casing class (Light, Trail, Enduro, Downhill) – not a manufacturer statement.
Real test-rig values – not an estimate. Tested variant: Kryptotal-Fr Soft Compound Enduro-Casing 29 x 2.40.
Watts measured on the test rig: lower is better. The 1-10 ratings on this page: higher is better.

Up to three versions at once: the curve is modelled rolling resistance across pressure, the dot is the real lab measurement. Click the legend to show or hide a version.
Without a lab test pressure we anchor the measured watt value at the recommended pressure. The curve shape is a physics model, not a measurement. Labs do not measure grip across pressure – we do not invent that curve. Wet grip is a lab value per tire model, not per version.
Three curves at most – hide one first.
Hardness steps are our classification based on manufacturer information. All numbers come from lab tests; sources are linked on the tire pages. All information without warranty.
Tested: Calculated from the stored measurements – compared only within the same test series and category (Enduro).

Weaker in comparison
28.4 % · rank 25 of 33 comparable Enduro tires
57.1 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.

176.9 N behind the best value in the same test series. More newtons is better – the casing withstands sharp rocks for longer.
Strong in comparison
1,167 g · rank 8 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
185 g behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer grams is better, but usually costs casing stability.
The familiar pattern: the easy roll is paid for with less impact protection.

ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine – Labortest
January 2023ENDURO's lab test measures 64 MTB tires under standardised conditions (20 km/h, 1.5 bar, 50 kg wheel load) for rolling resistance, pinch-flat protection and puncture resistance. Key takeaway: weight and pinch-flat protection are closely linked, while rolling resistance depends mainly on the rubber compound. Summarised in our own words; details and measured values at the original.

April 2026In the 2026 enduro tyre test, the Kryptotal Fr competes alongside the Kryptotal Re. Testers praise the predictable handling and reliable grip thanks to the super-soft compound and sturdy enduro casing. As an all-rounder for tough enduro riding, the Kryptotal convinces.
To the sourceMTB-News.de
July 2024The editors tested the Kryptotal as front and rear tyre in Enduro and DH casings over several months. It impresses with high grip on varying terrain and good puncture protection. Overall, the hype around Continental's all-rounder is judged to be justified.
