Vittoria Mazza

Of the two the Mazza combo is (and it's kinda hard to put in words) softer, more supple, more forgiving? It's also grippier IMO (which is what wanted, both for descents *and* technical climbs). That said, I'd also say the rolling resistance was (somewhat) higher, but not an issue once I adjusted (mentally) to it.

If you're looking at those two combos I'd also recommend Vittoria Mazza/Agarro or if you want a little more grip in the rear you could swap the Agarro for a Martello. Ran the DHF/DHR2 combo last year and these so far have outperformed them everywhere. Less rolling resistance, better grip and protection, plus they might be easier to get since the Minions are so popular.
