The Peyote delivers World Cup level speed and confidence in a range of terrain thanks to its revolutionary new tread pattern. Positioned between Terreno and Mezcal, the tread features a low-profile alternating center rib designed to increase speed and grip. The familiar Vittoria v-formation used in the Peyote allows the tire to dig through loose terrain to find traction while evacuating debris laterally.
The alternating mid-tread tapers up to capable cornering tread, providing responsive handling and a predictable feel. These traits work to boost cornering performance by placing effective edges directly opposing the path of cornering forces, regardless of lean or cornering angles.
The 1c Race Formulation, using Graphene + Silica compound, minimizes rolling resistance on the center strip and maximizes confident grip on the shoulders. The 60-TPI nylon XC Race TLR casing is durable, supple, and puncture resistant – reliability and longevity don’t come at the cost of your connection to the trail.
The new Peyote shows 6% improvement in rolling performance compared to the previous XC Race casing version. When applied to a real-world scenario, this means that a Peyote rider will gain up to 1.5 km/h of average speed over the course of the race. These benefits are in addition to an 11% increase in grip (especially in wet), and improved puncture resistance.
