Velocita vs STARGRIP review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Maxxis Velocita vs Michelin STARGRIP tyres. Both manufactured by different brands, Maxxis and Michelin respectively, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Maxxis Velocita is better for gravel and hybrid activities, Michelin STARGRIP is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to city activities.

Velocita	STARGRIP

High-performance slick	The urban tire that enables you to go out in all weather conditions
The Velocita features a knurled center tread and transitions to a file tread along the edges for confidence in the corners. Ideal for riders who want a high-volume, lightweight slick for their gravel or all-road bike.	Thanks to the original Star Tread Design which provides outstanding grip and adhesion on all types of slippery surface

Usage Hard pack	Usage urban trekking
Technologies EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. SilkShield SilkShield offers protection from bead to bead whereas Silkworm is found under the tread only. SilkShield provides an additional level of protection for sidewalls as well as under the tread. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
