Performance Analysis
Drawn from 5 tests. Updated November 26, 2025.
The Viking FourTech shows a mixed all-season profile with isolated strengths in efficiency and certain winter and aquaplaning metrics, but it is consistently weak in dry and wet braking versus class leaders. Across five tests, average overall position is 17th, indicating lower-midfield performance. Notable positives include a class-leading rolling resistance and competitive snow braking and curved aquaplaning in the 2021 full test, alongside decent wear/value. However, repeated bottom-quartile dry braking results and below-average wet braking in multi-year market overviews limit its overall standing.
