"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I love this 29er combo: Barzo up front for confident cornering and braking, Mezcal in back for speed on flats and climbs. Both set up tubeless easily, let me run lower pressures, and the reinforced casings shrug off rocky miles without feeling harsh.""When our local loops mix hardpack, kitty litter, roots, and the odd rock garden, this 29-inch Mezcal and Barzo package hits the sweet spot between speed and control. Up front, Barzo’s square-profile lugs and progressive siping lock in predictable bite, while the Mezcal rear’s continuous center ridge keeps momentum high and climbs efficiently. Both tires use Vittoria’s Graphene 2. 0 4C compounds for balanced grip and low rolling resistance, and the XC-Trail/TNT 120 TPI casings add sidewall reinforcement for day-in, day-out durability with a supple trail feel. Run them tubeless and tap into modern XC and down-country performance that covers everything from training laps to race day."
