No tire handles XC race courses like the Barzo XC Race, and it’s got multiple UCI World Championships to prove it. Its speed isn’t limited to any specific weather or surface. Rain and mud, sun and hardpack, roots and rocks – it doesn’t matter, the Barzo Race shreds it all.
The alternating center knobs roll fast, and – despite the tire’s speed-focused pedigree – the moto-style shoulder knobs bite hard while cornering. Siping throughout increases grip under lateral loads, helping to maintain speed across terrain of all types, and spacious knob placement cleans muck and loamy soil.
4 optimized compounds strategically placed where they are needed for an unparalleled blend of speed, grip, and durability.
The lightest casing for XC racing, pairing a durable, supple 120-TPI nylon construction with tubeless-ready, World Champs-proven Aramid
beads. The XC-Race TLR spins up fast, shrugs off punishment, and mutes chatter without muddying responsiveness – speed and trail feel without vulnerability.
Additional layer on the bead provides extra protection.
