The Morsa uses a unique quadruple compound mix infused with graphene micro particles for claimed grip, wear and speed advantages.
The heavily siped centre and shoulder treads both have a harder, faster-rebounding base and softer, grippier top, and speed is genuinely outstanding, with our 650b test tyres having an almost 29er smoothness over staccato surfaces. Sealing and wear life are good too. Dry grip of the supple compound and mobile tread is excellent, and we found ourselves pushing harder and harder across root spreads, rock heaps and ragged corners. Given the Morsa’s outstanding speed and wear, it’s OK in the wet too, though soapy roots and rocks can catch it out. Damping and stability isn’t quite as good as the other 1kg tyres here either.
