Luca Braidot this year has placed himself as one of the top riders in the world, taking home 2 consecutive world cup stages, one of these in house of the swiss a Lenzerheide.

But what covers did you use? We always say that it is right to think for yourself, but taking a critical look at the PRO world is always interesting.

VICTORY MEZCAL

Luca Braidot is "in love" with Victoria Mezcal, very smooth semi-slick cover. If the ground is dry, often use this 2.25 ″ section tire with 4C Graphene 2.0 compound with TNT construction and XC Trail carcass (weight around 700gr). To drive this tire, however, you need a lot of sensitivity since the piece is at a minimum.

Such rubber used it both in the success of Lenzerheide that ad Andorra.

SNOWSHOE

In America, just yesterday, Luca changed tires and used a 2.25 Peyote. It is a more textured tire than the Mezcal, given the weather conditions of the American route. Small curiosity: the Peyote model is no longer available on the site Vittoria.

famac@famac.ind.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
