VittoriaAdventure Tech G+ 26" Tire(Return to Product Page)

Was attracted to these because of the company's claim that graphine can extend battery life on an e-bike. I was skeptical at first, but I definitely see a difference in battery life with these versus the stock tires the bike came with. I am using a cargo e-bike to reduce car usage and my family's carbon footprint, so anything that reduces our electric bill as well is a plus for me.

This is a truly solid tire, in looks, feel, ride quality and my peace of mind. Only done about 50 miles on it over a number of urban rides mounted rear on an 80s mtb frame, but impressions are excellent over a range of conditions.

Snow/ice not good though kinda fun to fishtail around in (it's a slick, c'mon) but a variety of mud handled fairly well and shed quickly. Gravel fine due to width but I'd run lower pressure to float and eat the bumps better - 70psi too high for that! Took it on some singletrack, and it's not intended for that but was more competent than I thought it would be, even climbing loose rock. Still pretty fast on roads and confident cornering on dry and wet pavement - surprising for how wide and high volume this tire is. Ran over goatheads and just pulled them out of the rubber no problem (even on the side of tread where the breaker doesn't extend) and even rolled both tires (front is an Urbano) right over the upright bottom of a beer bottle with a horrifying crunch. Stopped to inspect tire and not a single piece of glass embedded in tread. Dunno if that's because of the graphene or 70psi or what, but I was pleasantly surprised as glass is a total fun-killer here.

I wanted something with the ability to stand up to the unpleasantness of city roads, roll efficiently, a reflex strip, and could be trusted on a tour. Used to have a set of Maxxis Overdrives that fit all that but they are tough to find in 26". This tire is so far a very competent replacement, and at a much better price. Highly recommend for a "no worries" around town bike.

Running as a rear with an Urbano front (also an excellent tire). This one has a bit more tread and because of the graphene compound is supposed to wear longer/resist punctures better, both of which happen more to rears. Only 250ish miles in so can't comment on wear except that even the mold injection knobs haven't worn off yet.

Heavy tire but have had no issues rolling through minefields of glass and goatheads. Have even had them out on smooth singletrack and run in snow at lower pressure. They are slicks, so not ideal in those environments, but if you take spicy shortcuts they'll def still get you home. Overall very impressed and would buy again, esp to convert a 26" mt bike to road duty.
