Performance Analysis
Drawn from 4 tests. Updated November 11, 2025.
Across four Auto Bild summer braking-focused tests, the Viking ProTech HP consistently placed in the lower half to bottom third of the fields, indicating weak all-round braking performance. Wet braking appears particularly problematic with large deficits to the best, while dry braking is also below par. There is a slight sign of relative competitiveness in older, mixed-size fields (2016), but results since 2017 show persistent underperformance, especially in wet conditions.
