Vittoria

Barzo XC Race TLR 29in Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve spent time comparing this to non-race versions, and the XC Race construction is noticeably faster and more supportive under load. It corners with authority on loose trails and holds up better to repeated impacts, making it a solid choice for serious XC racing."

When cross-country courses turn loose and demanding, we rely on equipment that delivers speed without sacrificing control. The Barzo XC Race is designed for aggressive XC riders who need reliable traction and efficiency across rough, unpredictable terrain. Whether we’re accelerating out of corners or managing high-speed descents, this tire stays composed under pressure.

At the core of the Barzo XC Race is Vittoria’s XC Race TLR construction, pairing a 60 TPI nylon casing with a race-specific Graphene and Silica compound. The casing offers consistent deformation across tread and sidewalls, improving impact absorption while increasing puncture resistance. Alternating center knobs reduce rolling resistance on coarse surfaces, while full tread siping and generous spacing maintain grip across changing conditions. Moto-inspired shoulder knobs provide strong lateral support during hard cornering, even when the trail surface breaks loose.
