Vittoria MTB Tire Guide
Pick the tread that matches the trail
From Texas hardpack to loose rock and race-day mud, Vittoria’s XC family creates a clear progression from pure speed to maximum bite.
Explore the range
Five treads. One simple decision.
Choose more speed for firm ground or move toward deeper, more open tread as the surface becomes looser and wetter.

FASTEST · HARDPACK
Terreno XC Race
Fish-scale center tread minimizes drag on smooth, dry trails while progressive shoulders keep braking and cornering predictable.
Best for: dry race courses, smooth hardpack and riders chasing every watt.
Shop Terreno
FAST · FINE LOOSE
Peyote XC Race
A low-profile alternating center ribbon carries speed while V-shaped working edges find grip in dusty, fine-loose terrain.
Best for: Texas XC and marathon racing, fast rear-tire duty and loose-over-hard surfaces.
Shop Peyote
TEXAS FAVORITE · MIXED
Mezcal XC Race
A tightly packed center ridge rolls quickly, with siped extensions and confident shoulders for dry and mixed singletrack.
Best for: the broadest range of Texas XC trails and fast rear-tire pairings.
Shop Mezcal
MORE GRIP · COARSE LOOSE
Barzo XC Race
Alternating center knobs, moto-inspired shoulders and open spacing add control on rockier, looser trails without giving up XC speed.
Best for: front-tire confidence, technical climbs and rocky Hill Country terrain.
Shop Barzo
MAXIMUM BITE · MUD
Torrente XC Race
Widely spaced knobs clear mud rapidly and maintain braking and cornering grip when race conditions turn ugly.
Best for: wet race days, soft ground and riders who need a dedicated mud tire.
