Michelin Force XC Tire 27.5in

Designed with extensive testing by professional XC racers, the Michelin Force XC 27. 5in Tire offers a superb balance of fast rolling speed, lightweight efficiency, and sidewall reinforcement for durability. Michelin's GumX 3D tread places a softer compound along the side knobs for plentiful grip when you're railing around fast corners, with a harder center compound for decreased rolling resistance and greater tread longevity. The GumX tread excels across technical XC courses where extra grip is warranted, and also suits trail riders seeking a fast rolling tire in dry conditions. Although the Cross Shield casing is light enough for competitive racing, it's still protected from sidewall slashes and punctures with a high density reinforcement ply. The Force XC readily seals up in tubeless form, so you can run lower pressure for extra bump compliance and grip, as well as providing self sealing protection from thorny punctures and small slashes.
