Barzo XC Race TLR 29in Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This tire strikes the balance I want between XC speed and trail-ready grip. It’s light and fast but feels secure on technical descents and punchy corners. My go-to up front when the course gets rowdy."

The Vittoria Barzo XC Race is a proven solution for cross-country courses that demand more than straight-line speed. From root-strewn climbs to off-camber descents, this tire is built to bridge the gap between lightweight racing rubber and capable trail handling.

A fast-rolling centerline propels us across fire roads and flats, while the moto-inspired shoulder knobs deliver cornering traction you can trust when leaning into turns at race pace. Progressive siping adds precision under braking and acceleration, and the widely spaced tread blocks maintain consistent grip while shedding trail debris and mud.

Underneath the versatile tread, the 120 TPI XC Race casing keeps rotational weight low without sacrificing feel or durability. Tubeless-ready construction allows lower pressures for added control, and the Aramid bead—reinforced with Bead Shield—enhances security over technical terrain and during hard impacts. Ideal as a front tire for control-focused racers or paired front and rear for balanced race setups, the Barzo XC Race is a high-output tire tuned for today’s modern XC demands.
