Tire for mixed terrain with new XC Race Formulation

Fast rolling, aggressive cornering, race-proven compound and casing construction – this is the tire for XC courses that mix hardpack with root lattices and the occasional rocky stretch. Now available in 2.4 option, and with black or brown sidewall colors, the Mezcal XC Race is engineered for pure XC speed, and its pedigree is proven with multiple UCI World Championships and XCO European Championships.

The continuous center line maintains fast-rolling contact, and its offset extensions are siped to multiply the number of leading and trailing edges, propelling you up the trail on climbs and increasing bite while braking. The rear siping on the shoulder knobs runs parallel to the trail with variable widths and open trailing edges, so the Mezcal corners fast on hard, slippery surfaces – despite being such a fast-rolling tire. For climbing, cornering, or careening down hill, no tire cooks like the Mezcal.
