FORCE XC COMPETITION LINE	Velocita

The most agile cross-country tire for a competition use	High-performance slick
Thanks to GUM-X3D technology which is a combination of three special rubbers: an outer traction compound, a Race Compound base layer and a special side grip compound	The Velocita features a knurled center tread and transitions to a file tread along the edges for confidence in the corners. Ideal for riders who want a high-volume, lightweight slick for their gravel or all-road bike.
Features -	Features Dual compound 60 TPI or 120 TPI casing options SilkShield or EXO puncture protection Select specs are Tubeless Ready (TR), confirm in table below
Usage cross country	Usage Hard pack
Technologies -	Technologies EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. SilkShield SilkShield offers protection from bead to bead whereas Silkworm is found under the tread only. SilkShield provides an additional level of protection for sidewalls as well as under the tread. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
