What technology does it use in its construction?
Wicked Will is available in multiple casing formats in a range of wheel sizes and widths, tailoring to your application. Started from the ground up, available in Tubeless Bead and Tube specific bead options, the Performance Line model comes with an Addix Performance compound, paired with the Performance casing offering a good all round group of execution statistics at an accessible price point. Moving up to the flagship models, on offer are the Super Race, through Super Ground up to Super Trail casing options, all utilising the ADDIX SpeedGrip compound for the optimum blend of grip and durability. The lightest Super Race option is perfect for race scenarios where you want a lighter tyre over protection, the Super Ground has the best of both whereas the Super Trail prioritizes protection overweight, all with a Tubeless compatible bead as standard.
What is the intended use?
Optimised for versatility and designed for the upcoming Downcountry market, the Wicked Will is a perfect Trail companion. The ramped midsection is low in height giving a fast rolling feel, whilst the more prominent shoulders offer grip, stability and support in corners and off camber sections. Better for mixed terrain, but also performing well in hardpack and some soft sections, the new Trail tyre delivers predictable performance in multiple weathers.
Our verdict
Ideal for the rear on a Trail bike, as a pair on your new Downcountry bike, or as a front tyre for your XC bike. A truly adaptable tyre aimed at the XC / Trail and Downcountry market.
