That bike needs to be on a revolving display in the center of your living room.
Really liking those Martellos. Dare I say I like them even better than a DHF. All the same good stuff, but nicer to lean over.

Yeah I think Vittoria is really making a push to be a market leader. I really like their tires
Beautiful bike!
Vittoria are my go to tires now, cheaper and better than Maxxis.
I use the DH casings, love them.

Whoops, meant Mazzas.
Martello is a bit of a turd for the weight so far. Never understood designs with side knobs packed together in a solid row, it makes for a heavy tire for no discernable increase in traction.

I know what you meant lol. These are the trail casing but I'd like to try the Enduro casing. Trail seems a little too lightweight but the tread is fantastic

Yeah, the only Vittorias I've ridden were a pair of Martellos, and I found them terrifying for cornering (washed out LOTS). Good to hear they've got better offerings.

Coming up on its 10th birthday. Plenty of MeatEngine, Min-Max and Mandrew modifications.
Recent changes are the 50mm bar, 550lb spring and Chromag Mood (thanks Drew for the suggestion).
For the aficionados of Old, can anyone name that rear tyre?

Hard to tell without more pixels, but is that a Factory DH ?
No... The oldest (I know of) aggressive semi slick.
Tioga Psycho (Genius)? I have a hard time remembering the stuff of old.
I can even not really remember tvat IRC tire that was the thing before Maxxis took over.

The Missile was the older one in the 90s which was replaced by the Kujo DH that was like the Missile but had that sort of webbing between the knobs. Until very recently you could still buy the Missile but it was rebranded by IRC as the Freedomcross Trailbear. I'm not even joking.
