FAQ

When should I choose the XC S over the XC M or XC H?: The XC S is the soft-condition tire with open, aggressive knobs designed for loose dirt, light mud, and technical terrain. The XC M is the mixed-condition tread for varied surfaces, and the XC H is optimized for hardpack speed. Choose the XC S when conditions are genuinely soft or unpredictable, or when you need maximum front-end traction confidence.

Can I run the XC S only on the front?: Yes, the XC S works well as a front tire paired with an XC M or XC H on the rear. This mixed setup is popular among XC racers who want strong front-end traction in soft conditions while keeping the rear optimized for rolling efficiency.

What is the ProWALL casing?: ProWALL is a 120tpi casing with a reinforced nylon sidewall that provides cut resistance and low-pressure stability on rough terrain. It lets riders run the lower pressures that maximize the open tread pattern's grip without sacrificing sidewall integrity or durability.

Best For

XC and marathon racers who run mixed-condition setups and want a soft-condition front tire for variable terrain, loose dirt, light mud, and technical off-camber sections. Ideal as a front tire paired with an XC M or XC H rear, or as a confidence-inspiring option when conditions get unpredictable.
