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

[@EMTBReview]

Much appreciated!

[@mercuriomichael]

I always respect your take and reviews Francis. Keep your content coming. I’m watching them

[@EMTBReview]

I appreciate that

[@veesee9747]

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

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.

[@EMTBReview]

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

[@UTemHorns]

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

[@Canyon_Shawn]

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.

[@EMTBReview]

You should these are better than Rekons

[@Canyon_Shawn]

Ok, thanks!

[@edlorenz1552]

Great video! I’m very interested in these.

[@EMTBReview]

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

[@ericfroehlich976]

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

[@franksnyder363]

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

[@EMTBReview]

Great suggestion!!!!!

[@trentvlak]

What is the casing width of the Peyote on 30mm rims at 25psi?

[@Uphillmore]

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.

[@EMTBReview]

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.

[@Uphillmore]

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

[@Paulthenutter34]

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

[@EMTBReview]

Yes ! Less sketchy too!

Please remount the tires and align the valve stem

[@fifthcircle1]

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. 😆

Hold my beer, it’s coming next year
