The Tufo technology in this model

Standard puncture protection
An extra layer of rubberised casing under the tread: a barrier sufficient against most punctures, without hurting efficiency.
Grip Silica compound
Tread compound with nanostructured silica, tuned for each discipline. Its strength is grip, especially in the rain.
Airtight TR compound
Inner compound of nano-blocks, built into the casing, which holds air without a tube. It is what makes a tyre “tubeless ready”.
Nylon-reinforced sidewalls
A nylon ply on the sidewalls of gravel and XC tyres: protection against cuts and stability at low pressure.

In detail

XC12 TR SG, in a few words

What it does

The XC12 TR SG is optimised for the rear wheel. In cross-country, the front looks for grip and steering, the rear for traction and efficiency: these are two different briefs, and Tufo chose to treat them separately rather than make an average tyre.

The tread

A speed-oriented pattern, with closely spaced centre knobs for continuous rolling, and shoulders that stay stable when leaning on dry or wet ground. The limit is clear and stated: deep, sticky mud is not its terrain.

How to pair it

Pair it with an XC11 up front for all-round use, or an XC14 up front on technical, wet courses. 210/375 TPI casing, reinforced sidewalls, Grip Silica compound. Tubeless ready, compatible with hookless rims, 29 × 2.35.
