Vittoria Mezcal Mountain Tire

Yes, the Mezcal XC features a specialized graphene and silica compound specifically formulated to improve grip on wet surfaces, making it a reliable choice for mixed-weather racing.

This is a tubeless-ready tire, meaning it is designed to be run without an inner tube when paired with sealant and a tubeless-compatible rim. You can still use it with a tube if you prefer, but running it tubeless allows for lower pressures and better puncture protection.

The 60TPI nylon casing is designed to optimize tire deformation, which helps absorb trail chatter and reduce rider fatigue over long cross-country races compared to stiffer, lower-thread-count casings.

The continuous center tread pattern is optimized for speed on hard-packed trails and fast, flat sections, while the siped side knobs provide the necessary bite for climbing and braking on loose or slippery terrain.

Yes, this tire is designed for 29-inch wheels with a width of 2.25 inches, which is a standard size for modern cross-country mountain bikes.
