Force XC2 Performance Line 29in - Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I recommend this for XC riders who want efficiency but still need protection for everyday trail riding. The casing feels light and quick, and the added layer under the tread helps cut down on punctures when the trail turns rocky. It’s a smart pick for a front-and-rear XC setup that’s ready for mixed conditions."

When we’re tuning an XC bike for real-world riding—race-pace climbs, fast hardpack descents, and the occasional rocky surprise—the tire has to be efficient without being precious. The Force XC2 Performance Line is designed for cross-country and light exploring, aiming for that sweet spot between low rolling resistance and trail-ready dependability. It’s the kind of tire we choose when the route mixes groomed singletrack with rough connectors and we don’t want our pace dictated by flat prevention.

The casing uses a 3x60 TPI construction to keep the ride responsive while maintaining enough structure to stay composed under cornering and braking loads. Under the tread, a high-density fiber layer adds puncture protection where impacts and sharp edges usually strike first, helping reduce trail-side repairs during long training rides or marathon efforts. Run tubeless, we can drop pressure for better small-bump compliance and traction without giving up that quick XC feel.
