World Championship proven tread for mixed terrain conditions

Born from the podium and bred for speed, the Mezcal XC Race is the choice of World and European XC Champions — and for good reason. Engineered for elite-level cross-country racing, the Mezcal delivers class-leading performance across technical terrain, fast descents, and grueling climbs.

A continuous center tread ensures lightning-fast rolling on straightaways, while siped extensions dig in when you need it most — maximizing traction on steep climbs and under hard braking. When cornering gets sketchy, the Mezcal comes alive: directional siping on the shoulder knobs runs parallel to the trail, with variable widths and open trailing edges for aggressive grip on hard, slippery surfaces.

Underneath it all, the advanced Graphene + Silica Race Formulation strikes a perfect harmony between grip, speed, and long-wearing durability — tailored for riders who attack every section of the course.

Combined with our new 60 TPI nylon Race Casing, Mezcal delivers an exceptional performance upgrade over its predecessor; 20% more speed, 8% more grip, 44% better puncture resistance, and 9% improved riding comfort, all with predictable control at race pace.

Technology explained

Engineered for pure XC speed and proven with multiple UCI World Championship and XCO European Championship wins.

Fast rolling thanks to the continuous center, with siped extensions that enhance climbing grip and braking bite.

Aggressive 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.

Race Formulation Graphene + Silica enhances grip, while preserving rolling speed and durability. It’s built for cross-country racers who demand peak performance in every section: climbs, descents, and sprints.

The 60 TPI nylon Race Casing offers a supple yet robust structure that enhances puncture resistance and impact absorption without compromising speed. Consistent deformation across tread and sidewall ensures peak performance in cross-country racing.

heavy and unbalance

At 760g, the weight is too high for a tire without sidewall protection. Mine was also unbalanced.

Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding the Mezcal Race, please note that the 60 TPI construction is already more robust than many so-called “reinforced” alternatives. It’s a proven setup, validated across multiple World Cup seasons and winner of both the 2025 European Championship (July 24–25) and major marathon races.
Compared to top competitors, the Mezcal Race delivers the perfect mix of speed, grip, and durability—especially on the increasingly technical courses of modern XC.

Ottimo copertone

Ottima gomma, usata al posteriore, perfetto per terreno misto da asciutto ad umido, per il fango meglio altro, perfetta accoppiata con Barzo all'anteriore

Good tires but no pressure chart

The tyres are great but I didn t received, not available a pressure chart for the tires.

Light & fast

Really happy with the tire, good handling and fast rolling!

New Mezcal XC Race

Absolutely in love with the new tyres. The mezcals are lightweight and fast rolling but yet offer great puncture protection. Love the new sidewall color as it’s a bit darker compared to the previous model and will likely age better and not show as much dirt or scuff marks.
The mezcal provide great traction on loose terrain, grass, roots, loose large rocks, mud and even work well on city pathways. I’m really impressed with the tyres.
My only wish is that I hope Vittoria offers this new sidewall in the more aggressive Barzo or Agarro tyres,as these two tyres will pair really well as a front tyre when the trail conditions get a bit more technical.

Best new formulation

I've been testing and it really is a great great improvement on the grip and general ride sensations! They just feel right. Congrats

These tires fly on the trails and crushed rock - perfect if you race cross country. The side walls are stiff enough to resist cutting in the rocks but soft enough to feel like added suspension on the trail.
