As long as you dont run them too soft and hole them that long tread life makes them good value too.

Atc Planet Pop 320 Full Range Of

Weve run them both from late summer to early winter to see how they cope with a full range of conditions.

Mazza and Agarro are aimed at the EnduroTrail market and offer predictable grip, with a decent ride feel.

The Graphene content in the quad compound lay up seems to help towards impressive tread durability without impacting stiction in slippery conditions.

Theyre reasonably priced and pop up tubeless without stress, too.

The 2.6in sizes arent actually much bigger than the 2.4s though and despite 120tpi sidewall reinforcing and an APF elastomer insert above the bead theyre not as impactpuncture tough or low pressure stable as similar weight aggro tires from SchwalbeMaxxisHutchinsonBontrager either.

Best mountain bike tyres Best mountain bike wheels Image 1 of 2 Theres a ton of siping cuts to encourage the knob tops to deform under load so traction and communication are approximated rather than crystal clear (Image credit: Guy Kesteven) Image 2 of 2 There is a large amount of sipping to help the tread conform to the trail (Image credit: Guy Kesteven) Mazza With its chunky alternating tread and similar buttressed pattern to its toothier Mota and Martello brothers, the Mazza is definitely the more aggressive of the pairing.

Thats how it feels on the trail too, with more bite for longer in all conditions and brakingdrivingcorner diving situations.

That also means a broader bandwidth between starting to slide and slamming down though so if youre a drifter rather than a cutter this chunky Italian will be right up your strada.

While the sub kilo 2.4in version blows up bang on the stated width on a 30mm internal rim, the 2.6in version is barely any wider but much heavier.

That means while rolling speed is okay for its all-round traction levels its noticeably harder to accelerate.

Theyre not as low pressure stable or resistant to splits and sharps punctures as youd expect for a sidewall reinforced tire either.

Image 1 of 2 The Agarro has less bite but faster rolling speed (Image credit: Guy Kesteven) Image 2 of 2 Slightly higher pressures are needed to avoid the tire squirming (Image credit: Guy Kesteven) Agarro Agarro is as fast-rolling as you get before you tip over into Vittorias more XC offerings and uses relatively low but still widely spaced alternating knobs.

A slight arrowing effect makes it easy to align directionally so you benefit from the stepped leading edges on the longer blocks.

Add the 4G compound and its definitely a faster tire than the Agarro (and significantly faster than Martello and Mota).

Unsurprisingly, theres not as much bite when youre heavy on the pedals or the brakes so it lets go sooner in loose or sloppy conditions than the Agarro.

Shoulder knobs are shorter too so theres less cornering bite and an earlier slide.

Extensive siping means thats predictable grip decline rather than a sudden snap out.

You do need to keep pressures slightly higher than average to stop them squirming and distorting though and again they didnt plug or sealant seal as well when they got pinched or spiked.

That all makes it best suited for a rear tire for year-round use in mixed conditions, but if youre somewhere where vents in shoes are normally a bonus not a curse then itll be fine on the front, too.

Best tubeless tyre sealant for mountain bike, gravel and road Best mountain bike pumps and CO2 inflators Verdict The EnduroTrail tire category is probably the hardest fought right now but Vittoria has firmly planted its flag in it with the Mazza and Agarro.

Tread life, forgiving feel, reasonable roll speed and trustworthy if not super precise traction in a wide range of conditions are definite plus points.
