The tread for rough terrain tested at the World Championships
When the trail becomes rough, rocky, and unpredictable, Barzo XC Race delivers the traction, speed, and confidence that cross-country riders demand. Specifically designed to offer high performance on rough terrain, this is the tire that turns chaos into control — and power into podiums.
The alternating central knobs create a fast-rolling profile that excels on rough and loose surfaces, maintaining momentum without compromising climbing traction. On the sides, motocross-inspired knobs dig deep into the most aggressive corners, providing the grip needed when the trail gets tougher.
The full tread groove and wide spacing between knobs ensure reliable traction in mixed conditions — while simultaneously shedding debris for consistent performance lap after lap. Whether you’re sprinting from the start line, powering up climbs, or tackling dusty descents, Barzo XC Race keeps you glued to the ground, fast and focused.
The Race Formulation Graphene + Silica compound offers World Championship-level grip while maintaining low rolling resistance and exceptional durability. Paired with the 60 TPI nylon Race casing, this tire absorbs impacts, resists punctures, and deforms in a controlled way for an optimal race-day feel.
The new XC Race construction, compared to the previous version, delivers concrete numbers: +20% speed, +8% grip, +44% puncture resistance, +9% riding comfort.
