How we calculate

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.

Automatic assessment

Tested: Calculated from the stored measurements – compared only within the same test series and category (Downhill).

Rolling resistance
Weaker in comparison
51.7 W · rank 3 of 3 comparable Downhill tires
3.7 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.
Impact protection
Mid-field
52.6 % · rank 2 of 3 comparable Downhill tires
2 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.
Weighed weight
Weaker in comparison
1,551 g · rank 3 of 3 comparable Downhill tires
207 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.
