Vittoria Barzo XC Race

Yes, the tire is designed for cross-country racing, which often includes variable terrain. The Graphene and Silica compound provides excellent grip on wet surfaces, though it is primarily optimized for speed and technical XC trails rather than deep, thick mud.

No, this is a tubeless-ready tire. While you can use it with an inner tube, it is designed to be set up tubeless to take full advantage of the casing's deformation and puncture resistance.

The 60 TPI nylon casing offers a balance between durability and suppleness. It is robust enough to handle technical XC terrain while remaining flexible enough to conform to the ground for better traction.

While it is engineered for UCI elite-level competition, its performance characteristics—specifically the grip and rolling efficiency—make it a great choice for any rider looking for a fast, reliable tire on technical cross-country trails.

This specific blend is formulated to reduce rolling resistance while simultaneously increasing grip. It allows the tire to roll efficiently on hardpack while maintaining traction when you encounter wet or loose sections.

This tire is compatible with standard 29-inch rims. However, ensure your rim width is appropriate for a 2.4-inch tire to guarantee the correct profile and sidewall support.
