January 2020OutdoorGearLab praises the Martello's excellent cornering and good rolling-resistance values. The thinner sidewalls are viewed critically — a possible risk on rocky, loose terrain.

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.
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.

October 2018Singletracks tests the Martello as an aggressive tire with DH-inspired, square, widely spaced knobs with plenty of bite. As a result it does not roll as fast as smoother treads; the heavily siped knobs flex and adapt to the trail.

May 2018MBR describes the Martello as a versatile tire for all conditions that rolls faster than a Maxxis High Roller II and offers excellent traction — especially in the wet, on roots and rocks.
