What technology does it use in its construction?
The Mezcal III is available in a variety of options to suit your application. Vittoria's proprietary 4C Graphene 2.0 compound comes in Trail TNT and XC Race casing options, optimised for the most aggressive terrain with the highest level of protection and featuring an anthracite sidewall, or the light weight option designed for all out speed and the ultimate performance, in a tan wall finish for the latter. Gravel bike options are also available in the 1C Graphene 2.0 Trail TNT combination, as well as the XC designed Rigid bead 1C compound configuration, at an entry-level price point.
What is the intended use?
Vittoria's Mezcal III has been designed for the Cross Country discipline and is better suited toward drier conditions, over a mixture of terrain. The XCO European Championship tyre delivers impeccable traction whilst cornering, braking and climbing, as a result of diverse low profile knob arrangement and alternating pattern optimised for low rolling resistance and maximum speed.
Our verdict
A well rounded XC weapon, providing ultimate performance whether your striving for a podium at the next Cross Country race, or trying to beat your PB on your favourite loop.
