Fire XC (not Pro) are heavier steel bead.
Right or wrong?
There are two versions of the kevlar bead. There is the pricepoint version which is 60 (or 66) tpi casing and there is the nice version which is 127 tpi.
"This is the true, made in Japan top-quality 127 TPI Fire XC Pro. Watch out for inferior, 66 TPI Taiwan versions of this tire which are heavier and wear quicker. "
