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.

Take my review as a grain of salt, but I put these on a Giant Talon 2 29er with a 21mm Rim. Seem to be a perfect fit. Came from a Maxxis Ikon 2.20 so not a huge size difference but the tread pattern has immediately proved to be a huge benefit. Less slipping on climbs and can feel them digging into the dirt on every corner. I'll also add maybe because of how new they are but now I need to buy some fenders as these things kick dirt/sand up like crazy which lets me know they are doing their job. Went with a "Barzo Mullet" setup, (Mezcal in Back and Barzo in Front) Love the grey sidewalls as well.

Awesome, confident tire for mixed terrain -- single-track, rocks, dirt, gravel. (Wouldn't use them if a route involved much pavement.) Easy to mount tubelessly with floor pump and pressing bead in by hand. Held air perfectly. Beefy enough for a loaded bikepacking rig. I sized down from a 3" Bontrager to the 2.6" Mezcal without sacrificing grip or squish, but gained speed and stability/tracking.... these tires go where you point them and grip well whether going up or down.

I like the round profile because the shape performs well on rock features. I also find these tires hold well on kitty litter type soil, roll smooth and hold up well. Good tire for dry conditions.
