Vittoria Mezcal G2.0 TLR 29 Inch MTB Tire

I purchased two of these tires this last fall during a seasonal sale. Decent price. I�m not a pro bike maintainer, but I have worked with dozens of rim/tire combos- repair, replace, or change out tubes. I write that to try and qualify my next statement: this was the stiffest set of tires I have ever worked with to get onto a rim. I went tubeless with this tire set, and one of the tires arrived with a small hole that the sealant plugged successfully. So far, I�m happy with these tires overall. I have NOT ridden outside on them yet. My stars and review opinion are subject to change with actual outside use.

These tires are excellent on/off road the road. I have them mounted on a niner hardtail. They have good grip on x-country trails but become a little slippery in loose gravelly material. Good overall tire but given the shallow tread pattern I would recommend not using on enduro rugged terrain.

Great fast tires for hard pack. No issues with traction on less loose terrain.

Probably the best tire I've had in 30 years of doing this type of riding. Predictable, good traction, low rolling resistance. Wear seems reasonable after 800 miles. I wish the race casing was available in a 2.4 or 2.6, bit I don't like how Vittoria scales up their tread patterns on their wider tires. It came out at 2.30 on 29 internal rims after breaking them in.

Put these in my bikepacking bike. They are great

The tires perform as described but the description is misleading. The 29x2.1 also has the lighter sidewall despite what the description says.

Super fast and light. The 2.35 floats over dry sand. Not terrible on wet roots and rocks. Braking? Meh... Great on the rear with a 2.35 Barzo on the front.

Great value. Currently using on my Trek 920 gravel grinder. Efficient enough on pavement and provide a sweet roll on gravel. Plenty of volume to air down. Knobbies just the perfect size... not too big, not too small, just right. Tight fit, easy tubeless set-up. Highly recommended.

My go to gravel tires and single track speeders. Nothing better out there.

These tires were build to roll. Crushing my local single track with my Gravel bike with these bad boys strapped tubeless.

Awesome tires.

Had to have a pair on my old Salsa El Mariachi. The bike is set up for long distance MTB tours and the tires performed great on a rugged 80 mile day. I was surprised to find no damage at all after ploughing through plenty of chunky stuff. Then I find out they are a top choice for Tour Divide racerriders. I know why - fast, plenty grippy, tough, light - couldn't be happier.
