The XC racing tire for all conditions + mixed terrain

No tire handles XC race courses like the Barzo XC Race, and it’s got multiple UCI World Championships to prove it. Its speed isn’t limited to any specific weather or surface. Rain and mud, sun and hardpack, roots and rocks – it doesn’t matter, the Barzo Race shreds it all.

The alternating center knobs roll fast, and – despite the tire’s speed-focused pedigree – the 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.

Technology explained

The Barzo XC Race blends four Graphene-infused compounds to minimize rolling resistance on the center strip and maximize confident grip on the shoulders. The 120-TPI nylon XC Race TLR casing is durable, supple, and puncture resistant – reliability and longevity don’t come at the cost of your connection to the terrain.

After many miles both up and down mountains, we think this could be the do-it-all race tire that new technical cross country courses are begging for.

Customers praised this XC race tire for being "fast" with "great traction" and exceptional durability. Shoppers highlighted its performance across varied terrain, noting it "exceeded expectations" with no grip loss. Popular as a front tire paired with Mezcal. Some caution needed on rocky trails to protect sidewalls.

Stunned at how fast these go! No loss in grip with the transition.
Light and stable in loose corners. Fantastic upgrade for XC racing!
Great traction and very durable.

Excellent tire for any condition! Very satisfied!

Solid Performance

Used this twice for the Vermont 50. Great traction and very durable.

Exceeded expectations!

I grabbed this to slap on my front wheel for an upcoming XC race (Mezcal XCR in back). I was coming from more trail oriented tires, so I was stunned at how fast these go! I was expecting some loss in grip with the transition but honestly there has been none. I was worried about running these too often on my local trails before the race, due to prominent rocks, but I’ve kept the sidewalls intact so far by being a bit cautious. The tread section is clearly quite durable, so no concerns there. Great fast tire!

My new favorite mtn bike tires

Great tire for variety of terrain, used as my front tire with mezcal at rear, running these for Breck Epic stage race this year

Best Xc

Love it they are just right

great fast tire

Light and stable in loose corners

Barzo up front (a bit bigger than the rear) helps to lighten the load and help stabilize the bike in corners with loose/soft dirt/sand. Fantastic upgrade for XC racing!
