The Best 9 Mountain Bike Tires of 2024 | Tested - GearLab
2024年10月16日 · We selected tires in the 2.3 to 2.6-inch width range. As tires continue to trend wider, so too are the tires in our test. We now have several models in the 2.5" and 2.6" widths that are becoming much more common in the current mountain bike tire market. We mounted tires to 30mm internal diameter wheels.
How to Choose Mountain Bike Tires - GearLab
2016年12月14日 · Rear specific tires come in a huge variety of tread designs for specific riding styles, terrain, and conditions. Tires designed for aggressive riding or loose conditions will typically have large shoulder knobs for cornering paired with large center tread lugs with squared-off edges to dig into the surface when pedaling or the brakes are applied.
The 6 Best Bike Pumps of 2024 | Tested & Rated - GearLab
2024年11月13日 · Here, we're getting into territory that could matter in lower-pressure MTB tires, although we found the Schwinn actually to be very accurate at lower pressure. It only becomes inaccurate when approaching 100 PSI, which is another reason that we don't recommend this particular pump for high-pressure applications.
Vittoria Mazza Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
There are certainly faster rolling tires out there, but considering the Mazza's intended use and other qualities, we feel that is a trade-off that many riders are willing to make. It is worth noting that the 29" x 2.6" Mazza Trail we tested tipped the scales at 1,090-grams, which is roughly 85-grams heavier than the claimed weight of the Minion ...

How We Tested Mountain Bike Tires - GearLab
2024年10月16日 · For the most part, all of the tires we tested could be installed without the use of a tire lever, and their beads could be seated using only a floor pump or our trusty ToPeak Joe Blow Blaster. A couple of stubborn tires required the use of our home compressor, and one especially pesky tire even made us take a trip to the bike shop to use their ...
WTB Vigilante 2.5 & 2.6 Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
2022年5月19日 · The little fuzzy hairs found on new tires have worn off, but the lugs and tread pattern still look fantastic. The TCS Light SG2 casing is the lightest construction this tire comes in, but it feels quite robust and ready to handle some serious abuse. The sidewalls offer ample support, and we've been toying with some absurdly low tire pressures.
Maxxis Minion DHF 3C/EXO Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
2019年11月22日 · The Maxx Terra compound we tested seems to be a great balance between grip, wear, and rolling speed. It's a great compound that provides increased longevity over tires made of their Maxx Grip compound. Little concession in rolling resistance is felt compared to tires made with the firmer and longer-wearing Maxx Speed compound.
Vittoria Agarro 2.6 Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
Unlike tires with super stout and burly sidewalls, we found anything less than 25-PSI caused the sidewalls to feel less supportive and washy through hard corners. Due to the low-profile tread, the Agarro can be a little squirrelly under braking forces through corners, especially in …
