Comes in 26–29 × 2.1–2.3 × Hardskin & Sideskin × Bi-compound & Mono-compound & Race Ripost XC
When you’ve been around a few decades, you learn a few things, but you don’t do it by staying still. The Python 2 has stood the test of time (and won a cabinet full of medals) through continual refinements to make it one of the best performance XC tires on the start line. It’s versatile enough for almost any trail, with a fast-rolling center section and wide, low-height knobs for efficient power transfer and grip at the rear wheel with less power lost to lug squirm.
