Michelin Force XC2 Tire

Yes, this tire is engineered for competitive cross-country racing. Its design prioritizes a balance of speed and grip, making it a strong choice for riders who need efficient rolling performance on race day.

No, the Force XC2 is a tubeless-ready tire. It is designed to be set up without an inner tube, which helps reduce weight and allows you to run lower pressures for better traction and puncture resistance.

The Cross Shield 2 casing is built with reinforced layers specifically to provide pinch protection. It is designed to safeguard the sidewalls and tread against damage during aggressive riding, giving you more confidence on technical terrain.

The taller, widely spaced knobs are designed to provide control across diverse trail conditions. It performs well in mixed terrain where you need a balance of efficient rolling speed and reliable grip.

The Gum-X compound is optimized for rolling efficiency. It allows the tire to maintain speed on flatter sections and climbs without sacrificing the traction you need when cornering or braking.
