Product Description
GEAX MEZCAL XC Tire 2012
This top quality cross country tire from Geax weighs as low as 450 grams and is made with Geax's Armid Racing 3D Compound and high quality casing for lasting durability and the best performance possible. Get this tire with TNT Tubeless technology for lighter, stronger sidewalls and better stability at low tire pressures. Also available as a folding tire for even lower weight and a strong, durable 120 TPI nylon casing.
The new Mezcal facilitates speed due to its modified semi-slick design, and confidence inspiring cornering thanks to side knobs derived directly from those of the Gato. Built using usespecific compounds and casings, it will carry speed through technical sections whether wet or dry, making it an extraordinary all-rounder weapon for XC racing.
The new, larger volume Mezcal 2.3 provides the same speed and confident cornering as its smaller counterpart, but handles the bigger rocks and technical sections with ease. Built with use-specific compounds, tread pattern, and casings, it rails through the gnarliest terrains, both wet and dry. Truly unique in the market, the new Mezcal re-defines the semi-slick, taking high performance All Mountain riding to the next level.

XC Racing compond for a performing yet fast tyre. Starting with the Aramid 3D compound we developed a softer and lighter to shave some weight on the tread keeping grip and durability to excellent levels.
SUPER STICKY SOFT (40 SHORE A)
FOLD CASING
Our Folding casings provide strong anti-pinch-flat protection and cut prevention, while delivering high performance in terms of the low rolling resistance and low overall weights, typical of our tyres. We’re able to achieve this result with a careful choice of proprietary polyamide threads and optimized positioning (cutting angles and layer coupling) to further stress Geax’s strengths. The casing is the main ingredient to get speed, reliability, grip, and overall suppleness. 
TNT XC CASING
TNT is now, more than ever, the benchmark in MTB casing technology. The presence of the UST Tubeless bead, but exclusion of the internal butyl layer makes for a lightweight and flexible casing unachievable with standard UST casings. Extra sidewall reinforcements enhance cut resistance and low speed compliance to deliver a “livelier” tyre. Our TNT tyres are lighter compared to a tubeless or to a tyre+tube combo, have lower rolling resistance due to a more flexible casing, higher reliability and increased cornering abilities due to the extra protection layer. The “NoTube” ability comes just by adding some liquid or foaming latex, which adds puncture prevention qualities as well.
TNT
✔ 120 TPI nylon casing for XC and 60TPI for All Mountain/Enduro (no butyl inner liner);
✔ additional sidewall protection layer (nylon fabric and abrasion resistant rubber compound);
✔ tubeless talon (fits both standard and tubeless rims).
Geax TNT tyre allows for up to 100g saving compared to a standard tubeless and the reinforced sidewalls give an unbeatable cut resistance. TNT tyres, used as tubeless on UST rims with Pit Stop cartridge or with liquid latex Pit Stop TNT pluses: low inflating pressures, higher stability when cornering, lower rolling resistance, virtually no pinch flats, tyre bead firmly locked on rim edge and easy inflation with a standard pump being lighter and stronger than standard tubeless. A Pit Stop cartridge contains only 35g of foam, as effective as 50-60g of liquid latex. When mounted on a tubeless rim, with the addition of Geax Pit Stop or other latex sealant, a TNT tyre is lightweight and reliable. Using a TNT tyre with an inner tube is also a very good choice for somebody sticking to more “traditional tyre + tube systems”, looking for a reinforced tyre without having to carry the weight penalty.
TNT ADVANTAGES
Geax TNT tyre + Geax Pit Stop vs standard tubeless tyre:
- lighter (up to 100g less per wheel)
- stronger to sidewall cuts and punctures
- lower rolling resistance (without the butyl layer the casing is lighter and more flexible thus the tyre rolls better).
- more stable at low inflation pressures
Geax TNT tyre + Geax Pit Stop vs standard tyre + latex sealant:
- allows low inflating pressure without worries of sidewall failures or bead movements (with sudden pressure loss)
- much stronger to sidewall cuts and punctures
- easy inflation with either floor and hand pumps
