I'v had the Maxxis minion original mount on mine, never liked it, the coumpound is too hard. I've chande to Schwalbe Magic Mary, they're amazing, I'd like to try Victtoria's tyres though.
@@ulukai_555 Did you have the 60 or 120TPI Minions? I had the 120TPI & it has been the softest & most comfortable tire i've used so far, in contrast, all Continental tires i tried feels like a solid rock even at 14PSI, fast as hell though but not fun to get a brain haemorrhage every time i ran over a pebble ;)
@@vittoria one other thing I just noticed. I do the same run everyday, rough downhill path with rocks. The Martello tlr G2 is so smooth on such rough terrain. I'm running the same air pressure as I did on the Maxxis Minion, but they do not have this level of plushness coupled with solid predictability. This must be down to your 4 different types of rubber compounds? I have never ridden the turns so fast before. Thanks to the whole team Vittoria.
I got interested in what Vittoria are doing a few months ago, and now I'm running the Agarro on the back and Martello on the front. So fast, so grippy. I'm a total convert to Vittoria tyres now.
Very interesting video Doddy. Well after watching this I'm glad I chose some Vittoria tyres after alot of looking into what I needed, my Barzos turned up yesterday. Impressed how good they feel whilst fitting, seated on my rims with just a track pump too! I'll be out this evening after I've fitted the rear tyre and added my sealant to both. Awesome stuff #GMBNTech 👊
Cheaper than Maxxis too. Err, or should I say, "their competitor". The weight worries me a bit though, and unfortunately they don't offer the trail casing in black.
I've got mezcal's front and rear on my XC and its perfect for long days on trails and thanks the central ridge rolls damn quick on tarmac too, commuting on the thing has been great
I went from Aspens to a mezcal in the front. do i even have to say anything else? tons of grip, rolling speed and saved my ass in looser terrain a couple of times. Got a Barzo in the mail and will put the barzo front, move mezcal to the rear as soon it arrives to see if i want to run 2x mezcal or barzo mezcal combo. Still have to ding my rims to get snakebites or get sidewall seepages but the stability from the sidewall feels much better so I'm pretty sure that is also better in the "cape cobra" version.
@@stevem9191 Yeah been running the barzo mezcal combo all year. This will be my XC tyre combo forever, the barzo has got excellent grip and rolling resistance.
I finally took a chance and decided to try Vittoria. I bought a set of Martello's, and man were they fantastic! Absolutely the best grip-vs-rolling tire I've ever used. Unfortunately, I had 3 rear flats in the 1st 3 weeks. Twice in the same day, on the same 1/4 mile of trail! All 3 punctures were identical. Inside corner knob tears that took 2 Stan's darts each to plug, and all were on the same side of the tire. This led me to think perhaps this tire was defective, and since I only had it 3 weeks, I emailed Vittoria for advice and perhaps a replacement, if they agreed it might be a defect. Sadly, I never got a response from Vittoria and had to go back to the, less desirable, Maxxis because I never puncture those. However, I kept the Martello on the front, because I'm addicted to the cornering performance. It's too bad. I really believe the performance of those tires are fantastic..
Sorry to hear about that Chump MTB! How were you getting in touch with Vittoria may we ask? If they're anything like us then their team will work hard to cover social media outlets but due to volume sometimes content may go unanswered. We'd suggest an email or contact via their website might work best. Glad to hear the front Martello is working out for you, so much grip!
Listen to the “downtime - the mountain bike podcast”. He’s had on Fabian barel and lots of other bike industry designers. There’s lots of goodness on there if design and engineering is your thing.
It's important to remember that we're always trying to get info that applies to the field as a whole, right? So the huge amount of knowledge that Ken has is applicable to 'tyres' as a field, before we get into the specifics about the cool new product Vittoria have that we're hear to bring you extra info about!
I wasn't impressed with the first answer, but I guess it would be very hard to really explain, how you develope a tread pattern. 😅 Really interesting video, thanks! I must admit, your last Vittoria video really hit home with me and I got some Mezcals for my bike a little while ago. And I'm very happy with them. 👍
Recently put a Martello on my rear wheel and I'm in love. Grip for dayyyyzz on my trails which are predominately granite slabs and rooty loam. I am very excited to put the Mazza on the front when it's time for a new tire.
I have barzos on my hardtail and they are bulletproof , all the other brands should take note of the way vittoria are making massive strides towards developing a tyre that does what it says on the tin
I tried some mezcal tires on my hardtail for gravel/xc riding. I really love them. I can run real low pressures and the side walls stay stiff. Plus they are only 525g a pop. Really makes the bike quick to accelerate and zippy.
Hey guys! I'm looking to this new bike from ON-ONE, the HELLO DAVE model. It's a hardtail with 150 mm of travel and a whopping 62° head angle. I would love to hear some thoughts about this monster since they say it's capable of doing DH. Thanks a lot!
How are they holding up? I’m interested in making the jump to Vittoria. How’s the weight? Rolling resistance? I was thinking of Mazza front.. not sure what size yet, then Martello rear.
Great vid, Doddy. Perfect timing too, since I'm in the market for new tires. Running Assegai front/rear provides great grip, but wow they're heavy. I need something light and grippy
Great video 👍!!! I was running Vittoria Bombaloni 4.0 tires on my single speed fatbike and they were hot garbage. Compound was too stiff, the self steering was terrible at lower psi and heavy rolling resistance. I switched to Shwalbe Jumbo Jim’s 4.0 it’s like I got a new bike, more agile, less rolling resistance no self steer!!!
This was suggested on the Faceache group but tyres need to be demoed, either pickup a demo set from your local shop or maybe better yet a demo day at a local bike park. Turn up with your bike you know and love, do a lap to know what yours are like, have the team bung on their rubber and go see how it feels. Tyres are just too expensive to be chucking on to see if it's any good esp if you're swapping brands, trying your mates bike doesn't tell you much. These look like a good alternative to my DHF/R set up, but at what, 60 quid an end? I'm not going to try it.
Wow what a wonderful conversation! Thank you indeed. I still didn't catch he internal rim width to tire width thing though. I think I overshot it with my front wheel. I have a 23mm internal width and put a Maxxis Ardent 2.4 on there. I have had a burping and also a wash-out on a steep downward switchback. Fortunately I walked away with minor scratches. But I would like to know if the tire is too wide for the rim and if even a 25mm rim would work.
As a general rule, the wider the rim the less chance of burp and roll, if you pair the thinner rim with a thinner width tyre then it's pretty stable right? But if you have a thinner rim, and a big old surface up top, your wheel becomes kind of top heavy, meaning when you lean it over it's going to be less stable and want to deform towards the ground. So generally speaking, wider rim, wider tyre, thinner rim, stick to thinner tyres.
@@gmbntech Thank you. Indeed I figured that, but I was wondering what the limits or best combos would be. I think my bike would take max 2.4 up front and I would ideally like to pair that tyre with a 28mm rim. Getting a secondhand rim of 25-30 mm has been hard. I actually haven't found one yet. Then wen the rim is too wide, I run the risk of not getting the side knobs in a proper position to really get the traction. How would one pair these? Maybe just by experience, how have you paired them? These days your guys run 2.6 and 2.8 wide tyres, but what of the XC bikes? I have a very basic hardtail Silverback Spectra. I would like to get the most out of it and thought tyres is all I can really do to upgrade it with not much expense and a decent rim upgrade. The bike only cost R7500 (ZAR) which translates to about 350 pounds.
It's a shame that Vittoria tires are so hard to get a hold on though, i want to try a Gato (27/2.2) & Barzo (27.5/2.35) combo, seems like an impossible task, almost no online store has Gato in stock, especially not the size i need & even harder to find someone who has both Gato & Barzo. Is the Vittoria distribution almost non-existent in Europe? Or is Gato EOL?
As far as we're aware the Gato isn't EOL right now, but we are aware of shortages of a lot of stock due to the unexpected impacts of COVID and the current global situation. Like us, we're sure the team at Vittoria are trying to keep ahead of all of their points of contact, but if they're like us they're bound to get a lot! Try contact them over an email address or their website directly if you've been trying by social media alone.
@@LJS1605 of you case a jump to hard our you land on a sharp rock. Another reason is just repetitive use, if it happened over a long period of time, your probably reaching the end of the rims life span
I'm running tubeless and dented a rim and it still seals up fine. The metal will be more fatigued there from being bent and reduce the life of the rim. I wouldn't bend it back which would cause the metal to fatigue further. Keep riding it but keep a close eye on how true the wheel spins and spoke tension. Start looking for the next rim or wheel set you want :)
what is the closest tire we have today that would be close to the old Nakain Gazza's?? It's the tire I miss most, it rolled so fast, had a ton of traction and seemed to last forever
#AskGMBNTech Hi gents, I have a problem with my drivetrain. I would pedal but then I'd randomly start freewheeling and I'd hear loud crunching noises from my cassette. At first I thought the chain was slipping so I bought a new cassette and a narrow-wide chainring as well as a new chain. Installed them all but the problem persists. I think it's the hub not engaging properly. Even when it does engage there is about 90 degrees of free pedal play before it engages. What's the solution?
#AskGMBNTech apart from the change in geometry, is there a reason that I can't/shouldn't change my 2019 trek Roscoe from a 27.5+ with 120mm suspension into a mullet 29er with 140mm suspension? Great content btw guys, learning lots from your shows 👍
#askgmbntech I am building a frame with a 184 x 44mm rear shock size how far can I stretch from the number as that is a pretty niche size. Can I get let's say for example a 185x 47.5 mm or like 190x 50mm. In essence how far can I stray from manufacturer recommendations.
Also about price, a 70-90 dollar MTB tire is the best of the best for MTB performance. A 100 dollar car tire doesn't even come close to being the best car tire around, let alone being usable for racing (unless we're talking about ultra-budget racing series like Formula Vee)

Thanks for watching Steven! Like Raphael has said, Bike shops are a great place to start if they've got a specific model they'll at least let you sit on it and get a feel for it. You can always look up local bike festivals or race series to see which brands sponsor and you can contact them to ask if they'll be demo-ing at a particular event, or look it up in that event's programme. However, due to COVID and the cancellation of a lot of events, this might be your least desirable option for now.
Hi, I've got Rockshox Sektor forks and I am trying to add tokens to it but there isn't a thread on the inside of the air top cap. Can I buy a new top cap for it, cheers.
We think it's just weight Dennis! A solid tyre would be very heavy, considering most people don't want the weight to exceed the rough numbers that brands are able to hit now!
So, this makes me want to go out and buy Victoria tyres… but, I’m pretty sure the Maxxis and Continental reps would sound just as convincing. How do we sort out all the options and find the right tire for our specific conditions and our riding styles? Can’t really test drive them and then take them back to the shop
#askGMBNtech. I've had some grit get into my suspension seals and it's caused a scratch on the stanchions I've tried everything to get it out and it's still in there. Do you have any ideas please?
#AskGMBNTech Hi Gents, looking for a bit of advice. What tyre combo would you recommend for riding trails that are a mix of hard pack and looser sandy / stoney sections? I’m riding a 27.5 full sus bike. I’m looking for confidence inspiring grip. Cheers!
#AskGMBNTech hi tech crew. Im looking for some New Grips i ride some light trails red, Black and blue. I thinking about buying either the Ergon GA2 or the GE1 EVO, do You have some advice, THANKS :)
like he said they all designed based on int. 20-21mm yet those tires were all different from comp. to comp. lol Just say theres no int. standards for a base width
"Your knob doesn't just flop over and rip off"
Thank god for that!
😂 We were wondering if anyone would have any alternative interpretations of that 🤔

Do you know what causes them
