Tire Bontrager Vallnord RSL XR 29x2.40 TLR

Hardpack hero

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

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

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

Go tubeless

A properly set up tubeless system lets you run lower tire pressure for better traction, added confidence, and a smoother, faster ride.

MTB tire pressure recommendation

Find rider weight and match it with your tire width to find a recommended tire pressure. It can be helpful to set the front tire up at a slightly lower pressure. If your tires feel too soft or too firm, add or remove pressure to dial in your tire pressure for your surface. The recommended pressures are guidelines. Do not exceed the maximum rated pressure indicated on the sidewall or rim. Follow the rim manufacturer's recommended pressure ranges for your rim width/tire combination.

Sealant recommendation by tire size

Follow the sealant recommendation for your tire size to get your tires set up tubeless and ready to ride.
