According to the product specialist
Pros
| Great grip and low rolling resistance due to the Black Chili compound. |
| The X-King has an allround tread, offering good grip in most conditions. |
| The Race Sport tread is more supple than the Protection version, offering more grip in corners and responsive steering. |
| The Vittoria Barzo G2 is a smooth and stable tyre for technical cross-country courses. |
| Thanks to the Graphene 2.0 4C rubber compound, the Barzo offers great grip on both dry and wet surfaces. |
| The profile with square and grooved treads provides extra stability, even when cornering. |
| The strong yet light XC-Trail carcass has excellent puncture resistance. |
| The Vittoria Mezcal is a tyre ideal to use as a tyre for high traction on sand and forest surfaces. |
| Vittoria Mezcal TNT allows riding with inner tubes as well as without inner tubes (tubeless). |
| Compared to the TLR, this TNT tube no-tube variant has better puncture protection on the tread. |
| These mountain bike tyres have good protection against external cuts. |
| TNT technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
| The Maxxis Rekon Dual EXO TR Skinwall is suitable for tubeless riding to enable you to get the most out of the tyre. |
| The Dual Compound provides a good balance between rolling resistance and grip, making you go fast on the straights and giving you plenty of grip in the corners. |
| The EXO Protection layer in the Rekon's sidewall ensures good protection against cuts. |
| Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
Cons
| The Black Chili compound wears out quicker than the Sport or Performance compound. |
| There are quicker treads in the dry and ones with more grip in mud. |
| The sidewall is more prone to damage from cuts, and the chance of punctures is higher. |
| The Barzo G2 is less suited for really muddy conditions. |
| The Vittoria TNT has a slightly higher rolling resistance compared to the Vittoria TLR tyres. |
| Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
| This tyre is less suitable for wet and muddy conditions. |
| Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
