Description
The World Champion Tread For Mixed Terrain Conditions
The Vittoria Mezcal IV XC Race provides fast rolling, aggressive cornering, and a lightweight construction, making this is the tire for XC courses that mix hardback with root lattices and the occasional rocky stretch.
Features:
- Engineered for pure XC speed and proven with multiple UCI World Championships and XCO European Championships.
- Fast-rolling contact thanks to the alternating center ridge.
- It propels you up the trail on climbs and allows for increased bite while braking through the sped offset extensions which multiply the number of leading and trailing edges.
- Fast cornering on hard, slippery surfaces thanks to the directional siping on the shoulder knobs running parallel to the trail with variable widths and open trailing edges.
- Hookless compatible
- 29" x 2.4" (622- 60 ISO)
- XC Race TLR Construction
- 60 TPI Nylon Casing
- 1C Graphene + Silica Compound
- 730 g (Brown) / 740 g (Black)

Reviews
I came across these tires while browsing reviews on MTBR.com, and I thought, why not give them a shot? They were a bit pricey initially, but with Black Friday sales, I decided to go for it! I put them on my XC bike, my trusty 2010 Niner M.C.R., mounting one on the front and pairing it with the new Peyote XC Race in the back.
Before this, I had been using an Ardent Race 2.35 up front and an Ikon 2.2 in the rear. Being on the heavier side (over 200 lbs), I was pleasantly surprised that I could run these new tires down to 20 PSI without any problems. After a few laps on my go-to XC trail, I really started to feel the difference�I was digging into corners more confidently! Transitions from side to side felt smooth, and the straight-line downhill speed was definitely quicker.
I can't wait to try this setup on a couple more trails, but so far, I'm really loving them!
