Vittoria Barzo Tire 29in

The Vittoria Barzo is just what the wagon wheel set ordered. It's fast and smooth, but tight and grippy on hard, dry surfaces. Lean dependent sipe angles mean the hard cornering grip doesn't kick in until the tire is leaned over. This keeps rolling resistance to a minimum. Counter V formation channels ease the cleaning of mud, dirt, and debris, so the tire sheds quickly if you find yourself in the sticky stuff. Although this is billed as a front or rear tire, we prefer to run it as a rear and use a tire with a more aggressive lug pattern up front.
