MTB tyres rolling resistance
Moderator: Moderator Team
Dear All,
Could you send me some links about this topic?
I really would like to use a low rolling resistance tyre at rear in next year with Stan's sealant.
My front tyre is given. It will be a conti explorer supersonic with 80g Stan sealant.
This year I used schwalbe skinny jimmy tyre with Michelin latex tube.
Thanks,
furti

Try Racing Ralphs in 2.25".
They are among the easiest rolling tires according to German 'BIKE' mag. If you want something lighter (but with less tire width), very fast rolling tires are the Michelin Comp S (2.0", around 450grams) and Nokian NBX Lite (more like 1.9", around 480grams)

I like schwalbe tyres and racing ralph is a good tyre but 2,25" maybe to wide for the Hungarian tracks. (I know the weight difference is anly 40-45g) Does the 2,1" has got also a good rolling resistance figure or it's higher?

My appologies, I don't conduct tests, and I havn't found anything more recent.
Perhaps someone else can help us.

It's the 2.25 with the eclipse in the test.
Consider the fact that all the tires are tested at 2.5 bar.
A wider tire gives less rolling resistance at the same pressure.
The 2.25 off course is also heavier, take that in mind.
Consider that in real you put less pressure in a wider tire.
The nokian is smaller, lighter and is tested without eclipse.
So the nokian is the winner if you doesn't take grip into account.
According to nino the grip of the nokian's is well.
When climbing weight is getting more important.
