The XC racing tire for dry conditions + mixed terrain

The new Mezcal XC Race; A never-ending success in a new size. The Mezcal XC Race is built using the new XC Race Formulation and have been torture tested at the UCI elite levels. The Race Formulation employs Graphene and Silica, providing increased wet grip and suppleness, and combines a 60TPI tubeless ready casing to optimize deformation. This combination has been shown to reduce rider fatigue while simultaneously increasing race-day reliability.

The continuous center line maintains fast-rolling contact, and its offset extensions are siped to multiply the number of leading and trailing edges, propelling you up the trail on climbs and increasing bite while braking. The rear siping on the shoulder knobs runs parallel to the trail with variable widths and open trailing edges, so the Mezcal corners fast on hard, slippery surfaces – despite being such a fast-rolling tire. For climbing, cornering, or careening down hill, no tire cooks like the Mezcal.

Great XC tires

performs fantastic, very grippy in corning/braking/climbing and fast rolling. Punches way above it’s weight. Could be used as a short travel trail bike tire. Like these more than Rekons and way better than Rekon Race. Only bad thing is Vittoria isn’t making enough of them, always sold out everywhere. I use them as a front paired with the Payote XC Race rear on my FS Chisel

Superb XC Tire!

Nice and plump 2.4” tire. Rolls really well. Pretty light and seals up easily, while holding air over time. Perfect rear tire with ample traction. Good enough up front for most of My Riding. Bought 2 more for My Blur.

So far so good

I've got 50 miles on these so far.

Good:
- Mounted up tubeless on some WTB wheels with no issues. Tight fit but nothing unusual (I don't want loose). Inflated and set on the first try (after I stopped being stupid and moved the bead off the valve.
- These roll well. I have them as my 'fat meat' for gravel. I can measure that I'm running a bit slower than on my 'speed tires' but it doesn't feel slow or draggy.
- They roll quietly on pavement. No dreaded buzz
- Delightful traction. I've already had a chance to ride through a bunch of mud and even in the sloping ballast stones on a rail line. All felt secure

The 'bad'
- The 'tan' sidewall color is a bit odd. It is fairly pale. Not just light but semi transparent. Not a rich brown like some photos show. Not the solid light color like other pictures. Yeah, this is nitpicking. They look good. Just could be better.
