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.

Lab data

Real test-rig values – not an estimate. Tested variant: Attack HPL Full 40 GXE 29 x 2.50.

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.

Automatic assessment

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

  • Rolling resistance

    Weaker in comparison

    53.9 W · rank 27 of 31 comparable Enduro tires

    26.5 W behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer watts is better – every watt saved stays in the drivetrain.

  • Impact protection

    Weaker in comparison

    26.9 % · rank 26 of 33 comparable Enduro tires

    58.6 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.

  • Puncture resistance

    Weaker in comparison

    421.5 N · rank 12 of 14 comparable Enduro tires

    175.8 N behind the best value in the same test series. More newtons is better – the casing withstands sharp rocks for longer.

  • Weighed weight

    Mid-field

    1,289 g · rank 19 of 31 comparable Enduro tires

    307 g behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer grams is better, but usually costs casing stability.

In this test series the tire is below average for both rolling resistance and impact protection – other models do both better.

Method description

ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine – Labortest

January 2023

ENDURO'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.
