Strong in comparison
28.2 W · rank 2 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
0.8 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Richtungsgebundener Vorderreifen mit sehr weicher Mischung für maximalen Kurvengrip.
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: 9.1
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.

Real test-rig values – not an estimate. Tested variant: Wild Enduro Front Competition Line GUM-X3D 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).
Strong in comparison
28.2 W · rank 2 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
0.8 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Weaker in comparison
8.7 % · rank 33 of 33 comparable Enduro tires
76.8 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.
Weaker in comparison
426.4 N · rank 10 of 14 comparable Enduro tires
170.9 N behind the best value in the same test series. More newtons is better – the casing withstands sharp rocks for longer.
Strong in comparison
1,049 g · rank 3 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
67 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.

September 2019The review examines the Michelin Wild Enduro Front under tough enduro riding, describing its cornering and braking behaviour on changing terrain. The editors contextualize Michelin's comeback in the MTB tire market and compare rubber compounds and casing options. Overall the front tire is rated as solid but not outstanding.
