Vittoria Barzo XC Race TLR 29in Tire Black, 29x2.25

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve raced this tire on loose, rocky XC courses where consistency matters most. What stands out is how quickly it rolls without feeling sketchy when things get rough. It holds a line through dusty corners and still gives dependable climbing traction when I’m out of the saddle.""When race day brings dust, rock, and unpredictable traction, we want a tire that lets us stay aggressive instead of second-guessing our line. The Barzo XC Race from Vittoria is built for those moments, where loose terrain threatens momentum and every corner demands trust. From fast starts to decisive finishing sprints, this tire keeps us composed when courses turn rough and chaotic. The Barzo XC Race uses an evolved XC Race TLR construction designed to deliver measurable gains where it matters most. Alternating center knobs maintain speed across coarse surfaces while preserving climbing grip, and moto-inspired shoulder knobs dig in when we commit to corners. A Graphene and Silica race compound balances rolling efficiency with confident traction, while the 60 TPI nylon Race Casing absorbs impacts and resists punctures without dulling trail feel. The result is a tire that feels fast, predictable, and ready to push from the first lap to the last."
