When you've been in the business for decades, you're constantly learning, but certainly not standing still. The Python 2 has stood the test of time (and filled a cupboard with medals) thanks to constant improvements to make it one of the best-performing XC tires around. It's versatile enough for almost tous trails, with a rolling center section and wide, low lugs for efficient power transfer and grip on the rear wheel with less power loss thanks to the play on the lugs. Square shoulders make it easy to negotiate slopes, thanks in particular to the RR.XC triple rubber compound, which is softer on the sides.

The Python 2 has 20 years of victories under its belt! Its legendary square profile gives it excellent traction on tous dry to mixed terrain, with a specific cobblestone base for improved performance and optimized casing compound adhesion. Combined with thick sidewalls, it offers excellent lateral grip, and the
contribution of Race Ripost® rubber provides ideal behavior for relaunching, sidehill grip and rut exit. With intensive use, you'll appreciate it even more with a rear mount. The legends are reassuring, as you'll see.
