Rick XC Pro

While engineered for competitive cross-country racing, the Rick XC Pro is versatile enough for daily trail use. Its aggressive tread pattern provides the grip needed for technical sections, making it a reliable choice for riders who want speed on climbs without sacrificing control on descents.

You can use these tires with inner tubes if you prefer, but they are specifically designed as tubeless-ready. Running them tubeless allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and puncture resistance, which is where this tire performs best.

The Addix SpeedGrip compound is designed to balance rolling efficiency with durability. It offers enough grip for technical cornering while remaining fast enough to maintain momentum on smoother, flatter sections of the trail.

The 61mm width is a standard size for modern 29-inch cross-country setups. However, you should check your bike frame's tire clearance and your rim's internal width to ensure the tire won't rub against your chainstays or fork.

The folding bead is designed to reduce weight and make the tire easier to store or transport, but it does not negatively impact installation. It should mount onto most tubeless-compatible rims with standard tire levers, though a tubeless setup may require a floor pump or compressor to seat the bead properly.
