The Vittoria Mazza is an outstanding new Enduro tire crafted for mixed terrain. It combines years of feedback from professional athletes with state - of - the - art tread technology, setting a new standard in the mixed terrain Enduro tire category. The tire features a well - defined center tread with deep siping along the direction of rotation. This design allows the tire to roll at high speed while effectively resisting drift, especially on off - camber terrain. The stepped leading edge acts like a ramp when rolling but digs in firmly during climbs, making the Mazza a top pick for both front and rear use. The center tread has ample space, which not only provides excellent braking traction but also speeds up the cleaning process. When it comes to cornering, Vittoria's trademark progressive sipe width technology takes over. It creates a gummy inside effective edge without the instability that rival tires often have on the outside of the tread. Larger sipes flex more than smaller ones, resulting in asymmetrical tread flex and a predictable, confident, and communicative feel at the limits of cornering. The Mazza's generous tread depth can grip various terrains. It is further stabilized by Vittoria's proprietary 4C compound layering process. Four separate GRAPHENE compounds are layered, ensuring the tread surface stays tacky while the base remains firmly planted. This setup keeps each effective edge in place under high cornering and braking loads, reducing rolling resistance and increasing the tire's wear life. It comes in two types of cases: a 120tpi Nylon Case with APF insert (anti Pinch Flat) and a single - ply Trail case with side wall protection, or a 2 - ply Enduro case. Available weights are as follows: 27.5x2.4 Trail - 890g, 27.5x2.6 Trail - 1030g, 27.5x2.4 Enduro - 1200g, 27.5x2.6 Enduro - 1300g, 29x2.4 Trail - 950g, 29x2.6 Trail - 1100g, 29x2.4 Enduro - 1300g, 29x2.6 Enduro - 1400g.
Using the Vittoria Mazza MTB tire is straightforward. First, make sure you choose the right size and case type according to your riding needs. If you're into more casual trail riding, the single - ply Trail case might be a good fit. For more intense Enduro rides, go for the 2 - ply Enduro case. When installing the tire, ensure it's properly seated on the rim. You can use a tire lever, but be careful not to damage the tire or the rim. During your ride, the Mazza's design will give you great performance on different terrains. It rolls fast on straight paths and grips well when cornering. Just be aware that like any tire, it will wear over time. To maintain it, regularly check the tire pressure. The correct pressure will ensure better performance and reduce the risk of flats. After each ride, clean the tire with a mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. This will also help you spot any signs of damage, like cuts or excessive wear. If you notice any significant damage, it's best to replace the tire to keep your rides safe and enjoyable.
