Strong in comparison
30.8 W · rank 5 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
3.4 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.

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: Double Black Triple Compound All Mountain 29 x 2.40.
Watts measured on the test rig: lower is better. The 1-10 ratings on this page: higher is better.
No lab of our own: measurements come from the third-party test named above – the source is linked directly.

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.
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).

30.8 W · rank 5 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
3.4 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Strong in comparison
53 % · rank 8 of 33 comparable Enduro tires
32.4 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.
Strong in comparison
1,036 g · rank 2 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
54 g behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer grams is better, but usually costs casing stability.
Notable: below-average rolling resistance together with above-average impact protection – this tire breaks the usual trade-off.

BIKE Magazin
April 2026The Kenda Double Black was tested in its Pro AEC version as an enduro tire for both front and rear use. It impresses with good rolling characteristics combined with strong puncture protection. This positions it as a solid, versatile option in the enduro segment.
