Fast rolling, aggressive cornering, and a lightweight construction - this is the tire for XC trails that feature a mix of hard ground, root networks, and occasional rocks. The Mezcal XC Race was designed for pure XC speed, and its pedigree is proven with multiple UCI World Championships and XCO European Championships. The continuous centerline ensures quick rolling contact, and the offset extensions are equipped with lugs to multiply the number of leading and trailing edges, allowing you to climb the trail and have more grip when braking. The rear lugs on the shoulder knobs run parallel to the trail with variable width and open trailing edges, so the Mezcal can corner quickly even on hard, slippery surfaces despite its fast rolling behavior. Whether climbing, cornering, or descending, no tire performs as well as the Mezcal.
