Extreme grip and self-cleaning design for the harshest muddy terrains
Built for the most demanding, wet cross-country conditions, the Torrente XC Race is precision-engineered to perform when trail is at its worst.
A generous tread spacing aggressively sheds peanut-buttery mud, clearing with every rotation to keep traction sharp and consistent, even in the wettest, sloppiest race conditions. The alternating center ridge delivers blistering speed with claw-like edge traction, so you stay fast without sacrificing control.
Each lug features a progressive surface siping pattern, designed to bite into slippery roots and hidden rocks beneath the surface. The result? Confident grip, responsive rebound, and predictable handling when the trail is anything but.
The Race Formulation Graphene + Silica compound strikes the perfect balance between grip, rolling speed, and long-lasting durability. Wrapped in our supple yet tough 60 TPI nylon Race Casing, this tire delivers reliable puncture resistance and controlled deformation across the tread and sidewall — maximizing speed and feel without compromise.
The new XC Race construction delivers the numbers: 20% more speed, 8% more grip, 44% better puncture resistance, and 9% improved riding comfort.
Product Carbon Footprint: 8.8 kgCO2e.
