Vittoria just dropped a completely rebuilt Trail and XC Trail range designed to be the benchmark for modern MTB and e-MTB riding. But really, this launch isn’t about one tire—it’s about a unified construction built to handle everything from World Cup-fast XC tracks to loose enduro lines. From now on, the Vittoria mountain bike tire line is a bit easier to understand and more practical.
If you’ve followed Vittoria in the last decade, you know the brand’s been on a tear—Graphene compounds, 4C layering, relentless casing evolution, etc. But it’s hard to keep them all in place. This new Trail Range feels like the next logical step: a single construction philosophy across their entire MTB lineup, reshaping how riders choose rubber. And, in classic Vittoria fashion, it’s all delivered with race-ready speed… and that delicious brown sidewall option we’ll absolutely pretend doesn’t influence our purchasing decisions (it does).
A Casing Built for Everyday and Race Day
At the heart of the line is the all-new Trail Casing, Vittoria’s sweet-spot blend of protection, agility, and reliability. The build is straightforward but robust: a 60 TPI nylon carcass, reinforced center strip, complete sidewall protection layer, and their latest 4-compound Graphene-infused tread. The goal? Make a tire that climbs like XC rubber but holds composure when gravity finally wins on the descent. Does it work? Well, if you look at the Mountain Bike World Cup, you’ll see that Vittoria athletes are already running them and winning races.
Vittoria says riders today want three things (and we agree).
- Confidence (no more mid-ride plugs or sidewall scares)
- Agility (trail-speed without DH-weight)
- Versatility (consistent performance from XC flow trails to enduro roughness)
This casing is their answer—a construction that accelerates quickly, spins up fast over rollers, and still survives the kind of rocky nonsense most of us should’ve walked. And yes, it’s 100% e-Bike ready.
A Complete Lineup — From Fast XC to Full-Tilt Enduro
The biggest story here isn’t a single tire—it’s that every Vittoria tread now comes in Trail or XC Trail construction. That means the same casing principles whether you’re running World Cup-proven XC treads or the rowdiest gravity-inspired blocks.
Here’s every model getting the new casing:
XC TRAIL (60 TPI, Anti-Puncture Belt, Sidewall Protection)
- Terreno XC Trail — fast on hardpack, fish-scale center strip
- Peyote XC Trail — fine-loose specialist, V-formation center
- Mezcal XC Trail — the XC icon, now tougher
- Barzo XC Trail — coarse-loose master, moto shoulders
- Torrente XC Trail — mud tire with big spacing and self-cleaning tread
TRAIL (60 TPI, Anti-Puncture Belt, Sidewall Protection)
- Syerra Trail — XC-pedaling efficiency, trail-bike aggression
- Agarro Trail — XC-meets-enduro all-mountain versatility
- Martello Trail — moto-inspired, stable, mixed-terrain traction
- Mazza Trail — aggressive, predictable, gravity-influenced behavior
- Mostro Trail — the new gravity weapon, loose-terrain specialist
That’s ten treads, all speaking the same casing language. And nearly every 29×2.4 model comes in black or brown sidewalls for proper mix-and-match setups.
Why Is This a Big Deal?
Before this launch, Vittoria’s mountain line was a cluster of different casings—XC Race, XC Trail, Trail TNT, Enduro, DH—each with its own quirks. Now, XC Trail and Trail share the same core construction for consistency:
- More predictable feel across tread patterns
- Easier front/rear mixing
- Consistent ride characteristics when swapping tires
- Simpler choices for riders who want “fast-ish and tough”
What if you run a Mezcal front and Barzo rear in XC Trail? They behave like siblings. Want Martello front, Agarro rear? Same casing family. It’s a more intuitive ecosystem.
