A light-weight cross-country tyre that’s perfect for speed and grip in super hardpacked and fast dirt.

Hardpack hero

The Vallnord RSL XR is all about speed in super-fast and dry conditions. It's the lightest and strongest race day MTB tyre option thanks to RSL XR Construction and Cross Country Dual-Compound rubber.

The RSL XR provides an incredibly supple 220TPI casing paired with sidewall puncture protection while a cross-country-specific dual-compound features a firmer centre to maintain straight-line speed with medium shoulder knobs that bite when cornering.
