When the trail turns loose, rocky, and unpredictable, the Barzo XC Race delivers the traction, speed, and confidence cross-country racers demand. Purpose-built for high performance on coarse terrain, it’s this is the tire that turns chaos into control — and power into podiums. Alternating center knobs create a fast-rolling profile that excels on rough and loose surfaces, maintaining momentum without sacrificing climbing grip. At the edges, moto-inspired shoulder knobs dig deep during aggressive cornering, giving you the bite you need when the trail fights back. Full tread siping and wide knob spacing ensure dependable traction across mixed conditions — while shedding debris for consistent performance lap after lap. Whether you’re sprinting off the line, hammering climbs, or railing dusty descents, the Barzo XC Race keeps you planted, fast, and focused. The Race Formulation Graphene + Silica compound delivers championship-level grip while preserving low rolling resistance and long-lasting durability. Paired with a 60 TPI nylon Race Casing, this tire absorbs impacts, resists punctures, and deforms consistently for optimal race feel and control. The new XC Race construction delivers the numbers: 20% more speed, 8% more grip, 44% better puncture resistance, and 9% improved riding comfort.
