FAQ

When should I choose the XC H over the XC M?: The XC H is optimized for hard, compact, dry terrain with a low, tight tread for minimum rolling resistance. The XC M is the mixed-condition tread balanced for varied surfaces from hardpack to loose. Choose the XC H when the course is consistently fast and firm, and the XC M when conditions and surfaces change throughout a single ride.

Can I run the XC H on the rear?: Yes, the XC H works well as a rear tire on hardpack courses where rolling efficiency is the priority. Many racers also pair it with an XC M up front for a fast-rear, confidence-front setup that handles courses with mixed sections.

What is the difference between LITE and ProWALL casing?: LITE is a 120tpi casing tuned for maximum lightness and responsiveness. ProWALL uses the same 120tpi construction with a reinforced nylon sidewall for added cut resistance and stability at lower pressures. LITE is the race day choice on smooth courses, ProWALL is the better pick when terrain gets rougher.

Best For

XC racers and fast trail riders on hardpack and dry, compact terrain who prioritize rolling efficiency above all. Choose LITE for race day weight savings on smooth courses or ProWALL when courses get rougher and low-pressure stability and puncture protection matter.
