Ranked #7 of 7
Finishing 7th out of 7 competitors, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro stood out for its excellent snow braking and comfort. However, it struggled significantly in wet conditions, showing imprecise handling, strong understeer, and longer braking distances, earning it the lowest points in this area. On dry roads, its performance was average, being the slowest in slalom but comfortable on smoother stretches. Notably, its quick handling on snow was marked by sensitive reactions to load changes, which may not suit everyone. The final rating given was '-' indicating room for improvement.
