How we calculate
Width, casing and compound decide how a tire really rides. We only show what was actually measured – and label estimates honestly.
Continental Argotal: Reference: documented test pressure of the source (24.7 psi (1.70 bar)).
Pirelli Scorpion Race Enduro T: 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.

Rubber compounds
Hardness scale 1 = hard and fast to 5 = very soft and grippy (our own classification).
Different grip classes: the softer tire must roll slower. Read the watts with that in mind.
Pirelli Scorpion Race Enduro T offers the softer compound range – more grip, usually at the cost of wear.

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.
Variants head to head
Every measured variant of the selected tires – the same model in another compound, width or casing sits right next to it. Empty fields mean no reliable measurement.

Tests and sources
Continental Argotal
In this short test, BIKE pairs the coarse Argotal at the front with the Kryptotal at the rear to see if it's the ideal combo for enduro riders. The Argotal proves especially strong on loose and soft terrain, providing plenty of confidence there. It is rated a clear recommendation for loose ground.
