Wow. I didn’t expect this to be such a thorough and well done review! Great job. Good tire reviews are hard to find.

I appreciate that

Tried the Mezcal (R) Barzo (F) combo last year. SOLD! So good!!! I may get the new lighter versions, and just go Mezcal f&r. If anyone reading wants more grip in the front, the Barzo hits way above its billed "xc" weight for grip.

Great comment, yes. Yes, these tires do grip above their weight class.

Wow, more surprising than the tires is that you’re 58 years young! Keep it up pards 🙌🏾

I’m thinking about running the Mezcal 2.6 on my EXe. I’m running Maxxis Recons now. I’ve always used light tires with good success.

Ok, thanks!

I like this, feels like your t/w a buddy about tires at the end of ride.

When GMBN started using Vitoria tires I tried a set of mazza's and it's my standard now

You should try the Barzo in the front with the Mezcal rear. Unless you're on wet rock, it's a great combination

You should! A little pricey but it's a compelling tire

Thank you for the review. Do you run a liner in the front wheel, or only the back? I am a bit worried about sidewall durability.

I have not run a liner in the front tire, mostly because they only gave me one liner. Because it’s so light I would use it in the front as well.

Thanks for the reply! BTW, I've got the same bike, but with fox fork/shocks. I really enjoy it.

I like the Mezcals, seem faster than the Rekon Race's I had before...

Please remount the tires and align the valve stem

Old habits die hard! I also do this, but it came from getting flats in tubes, and needing a reference point to check for the offending puncture material left in the tire. Now that all(sane) riders are tubeless, who cares!!! Aesthetics, I know. 😆
