In winter I use a Vittoria Mota Enduro Race 2.6" at the front and a Vittoria E-Martello 4C 2.6" at the rear and in summer I replace the Mota with a Mazza Enduro Race 2.6". I have one on my old bike E-Martello 4C 2.35" at the rear and an E-Mazza 4C 2.4" at the front and the rolling resistance is SO INCREDIBLY GOOD. The 4C rubber compound rolls incredibly well, offers very good durability and still has a lot of grip in curves. I don't know of any other rubber compound that is so variable due to air pressure. At 1.5 bar, the 4C compound offers very good grip, but of course doesn't come close to Maxxis MaxxGrip or Schwalbe Ultra/Super Soft, but can keep up with MaxxTerra or Soft. And at 2.3 bar you can tour on asphalt almost as well with the tires as with cross country tires. This mixture is absolutely awesome, apart from very wet conditions, which is why I would always use the race mixture on the front wheel in winter and in the summer it just depends on how much grip you really need and how you drive. The race mixture on the Mazza is great for summer, but the Mota is more for winter or mud.

Hello, thank you very much for your comment 😊 I agree! The standard enduro / 4C has great levels of grip, rolls very well and is very versatile, however the Enduro race is a winner when more grip is required. It’s great to hear you are switching tyres depending on the conditions to make the most of them. I am a huge fan of the tyres available from Vittoria. I believe changing tyres can make the biggest difference to a bikes performance (apart from the rider) and too many people stick a set on and run them all year without really thinking about the pros and cons… If you had to choose one set up to use all year round… What would it be? 😊

@@JakeBrookesBiking I think it would be the Mazza Enduro Race at the front and the Martello Enduro 4C at the back. Both in 2.6×29". So you have sufficient grip on the front wheel even in winter and the rolling resistance is not too high in summer. How about you?

[@JakeBrookesBiking]

@@FINNdeischgut It’s a difficult choice, but probably the same for the same reasons 😊… but in 2.4. I love how the 2.4s role compared to the 2.6s Having said that I do love the Mota up front too 🤔

​@@FINNdeischgut the 4c is the same compound they use in xc tires. It's great until it gets wet. It has very little grip on wet rock compared to the 1c

I run agarros because they are so light and they pedal SO easy. But I need like 10% more grip. Im thinking of just going with the Mazza trail. if the agarros can hold up, im guessing the mazza should as well. any thoughts?

[@JakeBrookesBiking]

I would suggest looking at the Martello. It sits between the Agarro and the Mazza and it is available in the same trail casing as the Agarro. It is a fantastic tyre that still rolls very well but provides more all round grip than the Agarro. The Mazza is a brilliant tyre too however it does roll slower than both the Martello and the Agarro. So if you want to maintain the light and easy to pedal feeling (which I love!) than I would suggest the Martello I hope this helps, so sorry my reply was slow

[@KlintonSilvey]

Don't go Martello unless you live somewhere with good, packed dirt. It just doesn't get through the gravely rock in the corners
