Vittoria Terreno Mix Graphene 2.0 Cyclocross Tyre

Grip is perfect, thanks to the very MTB-style profile, which could give the impression of high rolling resistance, but this is not the case. No feeling of the tyre pulling. The casing is very rigid, so you need to ride at low pressure on the trails: in electric gravel, I'm at 1.8 front and 2 rear. Beyond that it bounces, below that it's a blur.

Good all-around tires.

Pros & Cons

I had the Dry version of this tire for two years, but needed more grip. Both in wetter soil and just in corners. They perform super. I personally feel they only roll a fraction slower than the Dry. Even though they have a whole extra stud edge in the middle. I slide off much less on dry climbs and am much more confident when cornering. I have the 40mm wide version; bolts really nicely on my wide rims. I couldn't get them on my Bontrager Aeolus rims by hand. That required a plastic attachment. But they were plopable with a regular pump afterwards. One of the tires is still slowly deflating, but under riding no problems. It would be great if the tires could also function under 2.5 bar, but then they burp and you are pumping on the road.

Pros & Cons

Participated in the Ride Gravel, tough terrain, sharp boulders and rocks. No damage at all to tires and rims. Approx 5 bar pressure. And good grip in challenging descents and climbs

Pros & Cons

Very competitively priced tyre that does what it promises. Definitely the best tyre if you only want to use one set on a fast gravel bike or cyclocrosser. Works perfectly tubeless i.c.w. Mavic Allroad wheels. Not much trickier to fit than other tyres. Compared to the Terreno Dry, they dig in slightly faster when riding over very loose sand. As long as you avoid big mud puddles, you'll fly over everything with this tyre. Also works well on low tyre pressure.
