Why We Like The Mezcal III G2.0 XC-Trail Tire
Ideal for more technical cross-country courses or tamer trail riding, we use the all-new Mezcal III G2.0 XC-Trail Tire from Vittoria for its fast-rolling and impressive grip over multiple trail surfaces. Its densely packed and low profile knob configuration allows the Mezcal to cover more trail with less effort and its alternating center-ridge tread holds that speed. Cornering, braking, and climbing traction weren't overlooked though, and its numerous effective edges bite hard for impressive grip.
This particular version of the Mezcal is built using Vittoria's XC Trial casing with a 120TPI nylon casing and a reinforced sidewall for added protection on rocky trails and a tubeless-ready folding Aramid bead. Vittoria owns the only extruder in the world that allows for 4 compounds in a single tread which it then fortifies with Graphene 2.0.

Great XC and endurance tire!

Rolls super fast and climbs well. Rode Mezcal F/R in Marji Gesick this year. No flats and plenty of grip.

fast, but not very durable
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
put this tire on and was pleased with performance up until about the 12 mile mark on its maiden voyage when the tire blew out with a cut right in the middle of the tread, okay, crap happens, replaced with brand new tire - the very next weekend about 6 miles in the tire went flat again with a cut in the middle of the tread. For me, this is unacceptable, would never buy this tire again!!! the poor durability screams ride me in the sand where there are no rocks, roots or anything that remotely sharp, because you may need to walk it in, not for me

This tire is an ideal fit for me. Love the 2.35 width. Perfect balance between light weight efficient hardpack roller and a soft grippy single track tire that bites on just about everything. I've used it to test durability twice now on the 350 mile Huracan course in central FL. No complaints at all. It even aired up and grabbed the rim and sealed with a hand pump. A great do it all tire in my book

I went from 2.4 maxxis rekons to 2.35 mezcals. I have been running them for about 5 months now. First thing I notcied was how much faster they rolled compared to the rekons while not sacrificing any of the grippyness. Not great in the slop but are absolute rockets everywhere else. I have had a few punctures due to thorns but nothings stans cant fix. Putting them on was a bit difficult but that is probably due to my skill. Overall a great tire for xc racing and riding.

29 x 2.35 Not True to Size
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
If you want a tire that measures as advertised, dont buy this particular model and size. I have ordered from three different places and came with the same issue. Measured 2.1???, not even 2.2 . I went back to Continentals.
