Vittoria has released updates to its Mezcal and Peyote cross-country tyres, with lighter weights and increased 2.4in widths now available.<\/p>

The new mountain bike tyres<\/a> will also be available in the brand’s new Race Formulation, which uses a 60 TPI casing and a graphene and silica compound for increased wet-weather grip and suppleness.<\/p>

The tyres feature black or brown sidewalls. The\u00a029×2.4in black-sidewall tyres weigh a claimed 740g and the brown-wall tyres weigh 10g less.<\/p>

Vittoria says its professional racers have been using the new tyres for the past two seasons, picking up a UCI World Championship XC title along the way.<\/p>

It is now offering the tyres to the public for \u00a364.99.<\/p>

Vittoria says it has given the Peyote a new tread pattern, designed for hardpack and fine loose terrain, sitting in between its Terreno and Mezcal tyres.<\/p>
A low-profile alternating centre ribbon on the tyre is said to deliver more speed and grip compared to the previous model.<\/p>
Vittoria claims the new Peyote is 4 per cent faster than the closest Brand-A competitor, based on telemetry results from testing it conducted when developing the tyre.<\/p>

The brand says the V-formation of the mid-tread digs through loose terrain and has plenty of space to evacuate debris.<\/p>
The V-formation tapers towards the side-tread, which is said to give the tyre a responsive and predictable feel.<\/p>

Vittoria’s Peyote has been seen unbadged at the UCI World Championship XC for the past two years. – Vittoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Vittoria says the Race Formulation gives the tyre a 6 per cent improvement in rolling performance compared to the previous model, as well as an 11 per cent increase in grip.<\/p>
This translates to an average speed increase of around 0.75kph in XC racing<\/a>, according to Vittoria.<\/p>
Vittoria Mezcal<\/h2>

The tread pattern for the Mezcal remains the same. – Vittoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>
To complement the new Peyote, Vittoria now offers a wider 2.4in Mezcal tyre.<\/p>
With XC courses becoming more demanding, we\u2019ve seen riders using increasingly wide tyres to fend off punctures and absorb the rougher terrain \u2013 some up to 2.5in.<\/p>
$\"Vittoria$
The brown-sidewall tyres are said to be 10g lighter than the black version. – Vittoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>
While the Mezcal appears to be visibly the same, it too is now available with Vittoria\u2019s Race Formulation. This is said to give the Mezcal a 3 per cent improvement in rolling performance, while providing increased durability and deformation thanks to the 60 TPI casing.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
