Vittoria Martello Tire

Yes, the Martello features widely spaced knobs that are specifically designed to clear mud and soil efficiently, preventing buildup that can compromise traction on sloppy trails.

This compound uses four distinct rubber layers to balance conflicting needs: it keeps the center tread fast-rolling and durable, while the side knobs remain soft and tacky for better cornering grip.

Absolutely. The tire is tubeless-ready, meaning you can set it up without a tube to run lower pressures for better traction and a reduced risk of pinch flats.

The integrated insert provides a buffer beneath the tread to prevent rim strikes and pinch flats, allowing you to ride aggressively through rock gardens without sacrificing the tire's supple, tactile feel.

The Martello is versatile enough for both, but many riders prefer it as a rear tire for its climbing grip and durability, or as a front tire when they need predictable, moto-inspired cornering on technical terrain.

While a 120 TPI casing is supple and provides a high-quality ride feel, Vittoria has reinforced this specific model with a cut-resistant sidewall layer to handle the abuse of Enduro and downhill riding.
