Panaracer Fire XC Pro

The Fire XC Pro tyres have a square profile with variable-height torch and burning edge side knobs – what ever that means? We thought it best to put it to the real world test.

For our tests we used the 2.1 inch width ones but you can also get 1.8 which would be more suited to summer XC riders. Since these can be used front and rear we put them on both and headed out.

These tyres are designed to be good all-rounder’s and that exactly what they are, the conditions were damp and we got great traction. We hit some sections that had a lot of tree roots and rocks but they still preformed as well as can be expected in the conditions. Cornering we were also presently surprised they feet predictable but they do seem more suited to the rear than the front.

They have snakebite protection against punctures and we certainly didn’t get any in our tests, overall a great all rounder that you can leave on all year – if you don’t want to keep changing tyres there are the ones to get.
