FAQ

Does the Brown sidewall affect tire performance?: The brown sidewall does not affect tread performance. The compound, casing, and knob pattern are identical between the Brown and Full Black versions. The choice is purely aesthetic. Brown tends to run a few grams lighter due to sidewall construction.

How does the Barzo compare to the Peyote and Mezcal?: The Peyote is the fastest rolling XC tire for hardpack and fine loose. The Mezcal is the versatile all rounder for mixed conditions. The Barzo is the most aggressive for coarse loose terrain and technical XC. Choose Barzo if your trails are predominantly rough, loose, or technical.

Is the Barzo Brown tubeless and hookless compatible?: Yes. The Barzo XC Race Brown has a tubeless ready folding bead, hookless rim compatibility, and uses the XC Race TLR casing with reinforced Bead Shield. Pair with quality tubeless sealant.
