THE NEW PEYOTE
The Peyote is intended for hardpack to fine loose terrain, for the dedicated racer seeking the ultimate edge. Telemetry results placed Peyote fastest in class, and up to 4% faster than the closest Brand-A competitor, while field testing showed unparalleled agility and real-world speed without compromise.
“When designing the Peyote, simply going fast wasn’t the goal. Instead, we viewed success as the reduction of time from point-A to point-B, taking speed, grip, control, dependability, and rider fatigue into account,” said Ken Avery, SVP Product Development.
The Peyote’s revolutionary new tread pattern is positioned between Terreno and Mezcal, delivering increased speed and grip thanks to a low-profile alternating center ribbon. The familiar Vittoria v-formation used in the Peyote allows the tyre 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.
New Race Formulation -
The Race Formulation employs Graphene and Silica, providing increased wet grip and suppleness, and combines a 60TPI tubeless ready casing to optimize deformation. This combination has been shown to reduce rider fatigue while simultaneously increasing race-day reliability.
The new Peyote Tread shows 6% improvement in total when combined with this new casing and compound. When applied to a real-world scenario, this means that a Peyote rider in a typical XC race scenario will gain .75 km/hr. of average speed over the course of the race. These benefits are in addition to an 11% increase in grip (especially in wet), and durability of the new casing without impacting dependability.
