Vittoria Barzo Rigid 650b Tyre

A light medium depth moto-block pattern tyre for superior grip over technical XC terrain. The ideal tyre for rocky conditions due to its perfect blend of widely spaced centre knobs allowing you to roll quickly over the flat sections but the deep side knobs help you to dig in to the roots no matter how technical the terrain gets.

The alternating centre-ridge reduces the drag when you're pedalling and on flat sections so you won't be wasting any energy. The lean dependent sipe angles give you absolute confidence no matter how steep, off camber and technical the trails get. The more you lean, the more you can rely on the side knobs to keep you the right way up.

“I choose the Barzo in rocky conditions because of the spacing and the depth of the knob. The center ridge gives me fast rolling, but the depth of the knobs and the spacing gives me more protection in the rocks” – Erica Tingey (Pro XC Rider)
