How does the Vittoria Mezcal XC Race compare to the Peyote and Barzo?

The Vittoria Mezcal XC Race Tubeless Tire in Brown sits in the middle of the Vittoria XC lineup, engineered as the versatile do-everything cross country tire for riders whose trails blend hardpack, fine loose, roots, and rocks throughout a single ride. The continuous center line keeps rolling speed high on smooth sections, while siped offset extensions add climbing grip and braking bite, and directional shoulder siping delivers precise cornering on hard and slippery surfaces. The warm tan sidewall is the signature of a heritage XC build.

Built on Vittoria's 60 TPI XC Race TLR casing with the Race Formulation Graphene plus Silica compound and reinforced Bead Shield, the new Mezcal is faster, grippier in wet conditions, and more puncture resistant than the previous generation. Tubeless ready and hookless rim compatible. The Brown sidewall runs lighter than the Full Black equivalent. The right pick for XC racers, marathon riders, ultra distance and bikepacking cyclists who want race day speed with a classic tan wall look.
