Customers praised these XC trail tires for rolling fast, providing excellent grip, and feeling smooth on pavement. Many noted "the hype is real" with silky ride quality and low rolling resistance. Some concerns about increased weight in newer versions and sizing inconsistencies. Strong performance for XC setups.
- Silky smooth and soft ride, quiet on asphalt, and grippy when needed.
- They roll fast, hold tight in the corners! Roll smooth on pavement if needed.
- It rolls really fast and has a surprisingly amount of grip.
Loving the tires! They role fast hold tight in the corners! Roll smooth on pavement if needed. I did cut a hole in the sharp rocks of northwest Arkansas on Little Sugar trails, but put in some dynaplugs on the sidewall and she’s still rolling
Bought tires for bike packing. Amazing smoothness with excellent off-road traction. Highly recommended.
Mezcal XC Trail
This is my favorite XC rear tire. It rolls really fast and has a surprisingly amount of grip as long as it doesn’t get to wet. I pair it with a Barzo up front and that is my favorite XC setup. I love that Vitoria switched to a 60tpi casing.
I like this tire very well. It provides good traction, trail feel and is more nimble than other tires I’ve ridden on this bike.
I’ve been reading glowing reddit posts about these tires for a couple of years. I didn’t think they could live up to the hype, but after a few hundred miles I have to say that they do. Silky smooth and soft ride, quiet on asphalt, and grippy when needed. 27.5x2.4 Surly Bridge Club
I ride primarily on the road but when I go off-road I find the same amazing feel for my tires. Nor reason to look elsewhere.
Great tread pattern, but unfortunately this version is heavier... It is also rated at 2.4, but the actual width on my rims is identical to the previous 2.35 version... both are 2.3 measured.
I have not installed them yet but I will very soon
I had the gen 3 of the Mezcal 29x2.6 and it was 860 grams. The 2026 Mezcal 29x2.6 weighs 1010 grams. Not excited about this noticeable weight increase. Vittoria needs to offer the 2.6 Mezcal (and 2.6 Peyote) in a Race casing. While you’re at it, offer the 2.6 Race casing with brown sidewalls!
Tire feels great and looks good on the bike. Rolling resistance seems low and can feel the difference if switching from a more heavier / knobby tire.
I love how well this tire performs and the durability is second to none
Soft, fast, fat, grippy.
Mezcal's & Barzo. Extremely happy.
