Mezcal XCR

So I’ve heard so much positive reviews regarding the Vittoria Mezcal tires, I just wanted to experience the ride, speed, grip etc, Vs my Schwalbe Racing Ralph and Racing Ray, which in my perspective are just OUTSTANDING tires for hardpack and mixed trail riding, for myself. I ride and XC bike and I have to say that the Vittoria’s have caused a OUTSTANDING impression as well. I do feel they are a bit slower than the Schwalbe tires, but I have to be fair saying that the Schwalbe tires I have been running are 2.25 and the Mezcal’s are 2.35, so that difference in speed has to be with the pressure in the tires. I 20lbs in front and 22lbs in the rear with the Schwalbe’s, and have been running the same with the Mezcal’s. So after doing a bit of homework, I will be doing 22lbs in front and 24lbs in the rear! Still a bit under what is recommended based on my weight (205lbs or 95KL). The Mezcals performance is great and have very good grip, curving and rolling resistance. They are very good looking tires and the ride is really comfortable on the trail as on the tarmac! At the end of the day the I believe the pressure anyone runs with is a very personal choice, and will make that difference on the ride! But without a doubt I do love the Vittoria Mezcal tires and recommend them 100%, (excuse the redundancy) great grip, speed, cornering, rolling resistance and as said, they look really cool and make you ride look badass! So go ride em and beat the trail! Of course there are many great fast XC tires out there, but you won’t go wrong with the Vittoria Mezcal tires!!🤙

Replaced my Mezcal with a Mezcal because why not. Have these tires on my Ramble (Gravel, Mtb, road) bike and they are great. Fast on Gravel and pretty good on road. Good for the trail as well. They can handle basically anything you can through at them. Live in Texas and they are good here. Have used them at the Rule of Three & 3.99 events in NW Arkansas for the past 2 years and preform great. Have a set on my Fargo for bikepacking. Great tires.

This things role great but I will be getting the wider ones

These tires are amazing, was worried being the race model they would prematurely leak out the sidewalls, but they are super solid, great feel and the amount of confidence they give you out on the trail is top notch!

Mezcal in front, terreno in the back , more traction than I imagined, fast rolling! Works well on tarmac and gravel , plush
