Race proven tread with TLR bead for recreational use in coarse loose terrain conditions

Fast, versatile, and reliable, the Barzo XC Sport tubeless-ready tire is engineered for pushing yourself and exploring your local trail system, regardless of terrain type and conditions. The Barzo thrives in wet, dry, and variable conditions, and it’s as ready for rocks and roots as it is for soft, loamy soil or hardpack.

The alternating center knobs roll fast, and moto-style shoulder knobs bite hard while cornering. Siping throughout increases grip under lateral loads, helping to maintain speed across terrain of all types, and spacious knob placement cleans muck and loamy soil.

Great XC tire combination!

Got the Mezcal/Barzo bundle for my Salsa El Mariachi, and I think this is the best XC combination I've ever used. Durable, grippy, and lightweight. Actually, dumped my heavy tubeless Schwalbe setup, and went back to lightweight tubes. Super happy with the purchase!

Great front tire

I’ve been using this tire the front of my cross country mountain bike on the loose and chunky trails of Arizona. It lasted the whole last season of about800 miles and performed great the entire time. Still had some tread on it when I replaced it.

Barzo/Mezcal combo

Sweet combo! Im using them in dry desert conditions around Las Vegas NV and St George UT. Fast lightweight tires that still have a reasonably good grip, they do slip and slide a bit through sandy areas.

Quiet and smooth

And way cheaper than my Maxxis I've been running for 17k miles. Hopefully they last 5k!

Grippy and wearing well

Just installed these 2.35s on the front on an XC bike and after two hard rides/races, the nubs are still there. They corner well on dry hardpack and loamy soft soil, and are wearing well so far. Sidewall have no abrasions and roll pretty well fo for a more knobbby tire. Will probably go down a size next time for my application (2.25 for gravel).

Surprising grip

Im more of an avid trail rider than a xc rider. I wanted to save weight so i bought these tires. Much to my surprise these things grip well in my cali loose over hard trail conditions. Mud will be a different story but even my big trail tires get packed. Pretty good value too

Great front tire for XC

I have been running the Barzo as a front tire for XC riding for a couple of weeks with a Mezcal as the rear tire. It has good traction and is very predictable. Mounting up tubeless was easy and seated with a floor pump. No complaints so far.

Barzo 2.35 on Trek Marlin

Loving it so far.. had to brush soapy water on sides to have it sit perfectly.. no wobble. Otherwise rolls pretty fast with original stock 2.25 rear tire. Bought the frnt/rear combo but just wearing rear tire out till adding the new rear. Has been good grip on dry loose mix and hard pack.

Excellent Tire Choice

These are an incredible tire choice for XCO given their light nature with just the right traction. So much so my daughter won her division with these at the recent US Pro Cup in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
