52.8 W · rank 25 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
25.4 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Rampenförmige Stollen, guter Kompromiss aus Rollverhalten und Grip auf losem Untergrund.
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: documented test pressure of the source (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: 8.3
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: High Roller 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown 29 x 2.40 WT.
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.

Weaker in comparison
52.8 W · rank 25 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
25.4 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Strong in comparison
53.5 % · rank 7 of 33 comparable Enduro tires
32 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.
Mid-field
507.6 N · rank 5 of 14 comparable Enduro tires
89.7 N behind the best value in the same test series. More newtons is better – the casing withstands sharp rocks for longer.
Mid-field
1,268 g · rank 18 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
286 g behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer grams is better, but usually costs casing stability.
The familiar pattern: the high impact protection costs rolling resistance.

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.
