What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I grab Toro XC 29x2. 1 when the course swings from damp to greasy. The widely spaced knobs clear fast, the hard center climbs and brakes with authority, and the softer shoulders hook on wet roots. It set up tubeless in minutes and stayed supple at race pressures."When storms roll through and the start list doesn't shrink, Toro XC 29x2. 1 keeps us charging. The open, chevroned tread bites in wet loam yet rolls quickly when the trail hardens, so we stay on pace from slick climbs to hardpack fire roads. This tubeless ready build pairs a supple 3x127 TPI casing with Race Ripost XC triple-compound rubber-firmer through the center for drive and braking, grippier at the shoulders for off-camber confidence. At 680g, it's a race-day ally that still shrugs off mixed-condition abuse.
