They’re “eco” because they have less rolling resistance and are slightly lighter. They have less rolling resistance because they’re made of a harder compound, with reduced grip. Plus, with ABS, you’re not likely to lock the wheels up such that the decreased resistance would be significant. …huh? ABS has nothing to do with rolling resistance…
