Strong in comparison
33.2 W · rank 8 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
5.8 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Hinterreifen-Variante mit dichteren Mittelstollen und guter Antriebstraktion.
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
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.

Strong in comparison
33.2 W · rank 8 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
5.8 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Weaker in comparison
17.3 % · rank 31 of 33 comparable Enduro tires
68.2 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.
Weaker in comparison
409.4 N · rank 14 of 14 comparable Enduro tires
187.9 N behind the best value in the same test series. More newtons is better – the casing withstands sharp rocks for longer.
Strong in comparison
1,199 g · rank 10 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
217 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.

March 2026In this comparison test, the Kryptotal combo is examined as a trail tyre duo and compared against the Magnotal at the rear. Testers highlight the confident grip and the good balance between rolling resistance and traction. The combo is clearly recommended for demanding trails.
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.
