Graphene-tuned Mezcal III Tire offers XC speed with trail-ready grip
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I run the Mezcal III on my XC bike year-round. It’s rare to find a tire that feels this fast on dry trails but doesn’t get squirrely when it rains. The Graphene compound noticeably improves grip on slick roots without adding much weight, and it wears slower than most race tires I’ve used. Total win."
The Vittoria Mezcal III Tire is purpose-built for cross-country and trail riders who demand low rolling resistance without compromising grip. It starts with a defined center ridge for efficiency on hardpack and climbs, paired with angled, siped side knobs that dig into corners and unpredictable surfaces. The tread design uses a low-profile, high-density knob layout to reduce rolling drag while delivering constant ground contact for braking and climbing control.
Vittoria’s 1C Graphene-enhanced rubber compound delivers targeted performance—combining grip, low weight, and impressive durability. The Mezcal III is tubeless-ready and features a folding bead for minimal rotational weight, making it a dependable option for aggressive race lines or long trail rides.
With a 60 TPI casing, tread-specific flat protection, and compatibility with modern hookless rims, the Mezcal III blends modern features with a performance-oriented layout. Whether you’re lining up at the start gate or out chasing KOMs, this tire keeps pace.
