Product Information

Full details

The Vittoria Martello Race Enduro Tyre is designed for gravity riders who prioritize high-level traction and control across technical, varied terrain. By leveraging a specialized Graphene and Silica compound, the tyre provides exceptional grip and damping, though its reinforced casing makes it heavier than cross-country alternatives. It is an ideal choice for enduro racers and aggressive trail riders who need a reliable, high-performance tyre that excels in both rock-strewn descents and challenging climbs.

FAQs

Is the Vittoria Martello Race suitable for cross-country racing?

While it can be used on a mountain bike, it is optimized for enduro and gravity riding. Its weight and tread pattern are more suited for aggressive terrain than pure XC speed.

What tyre pressure should I run?

Optimal pressure depends on rider weight and rim width, but typically ranges between 20-30 PSI for tubeless setups.

Does this tyre come in different sizes?

Yes, it is available in various diameters, including the 29 x 2.4 model and the 27.5 x 2.6 version.

Can I use this tyre with an inner tube?

Yes, the casing is compatible with inner tubes, although tubeless setup is recommended for better puncture protection.

How long does the Graphene compound last?

Durability depends on the frequency and aggressiveness of riding, but the soft compound is prioritized for grip over long-term tread longevity.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the bead

Use a high-volume floor pump or a CO2 inflator for a quick burst of air, and ensure the bead is lubricated with soapy water.

Excessive sealant weeping from sidewalls

Rotate the wheel to distribute sealant evenly and ensure the bead is fully seated; if it persists, check for small punctures.

Tyre feels sluggish

Verify that your tyre pressure is not too low, as this can increase rolling resistance on smooth trail sections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on technical and rocky terrain
  • High vibration damping for improved comfort
  • Reinforced casing protects against rim strikes
  • Predictable handling in various trail conditions

Cons

  • Heavier than lightweight trail tyres
  • Soft compound may wear faster under heavy use
  • Higher rolling resistance compared to semi-slick models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your rim width is compatible with the 2.4-inch width to avoid a 'square' tyre profile. The tyre is compatible with modern tubeless-ready rim systems; using high-quality sealant is recommended to complement the puncture-resistance layer. Check tyre pressure before every ride to accommodate your body weight and trail conditions. Clean the tread after muddy rides to ensure the sipes remain free of debris, which maintains the tyre's intended mechanical grip. Inspect the sidewalls periodically for signs of wear or damage caused by sharp rocks.
