What is the Vittoria Barzo XC Race built for?

The Vittoria Barzo XC Race Tubeless Tire is the most aggressive XC race tire in the Vittoria lineup, engineered for World Cup courses with coarse loose surfaces, technical climbs, and the kind of conditions where the Peyote or Mezcal would slip the rear wheel. Tall widely spaced shoulder knobs deliver mountain bike level cornering bite, while the open center tread clears mud and loose surface debris fast. This is the XC race tire for the days when the course gets gnarly and the front of the pack thins out.

Built on Vittoria's 60 TPI XC Race TLR casing with the Race Formulation Graphene plus Silica compound and a reinforced Bead Shield, the Barzo XC Race delivers race day weight savings with maximum traction on the conditions where bite matters. Tubeless ready and hookless rim compatible. The Full Black sidewall pairs cleanly with modern carbon XC builds. This is the right pick for XC racers on technical World Cup style courses, marathon riders dealing with mixed-and-rough conditions, and Pacific Northwest XC where loamy and loose trails are the daily reality.
