Graphene and silica compound

Vittoria combined its established knowledge from graphene research with silica, a material that particularly improves the performance of the center of road-tire treads. This achieved an improved result in compound technology. As part of its final product development, the new Corsa N.EXT was created using this special compound technology. Added to graphene, silica increases tire performance and consistently provides longer mileage and better grip. This new compound combination also reduces tire weight. Vittoria laboratory tests show that, compared with a conventional compound, the new graphene and silica combination delivers higher performance: 9% more speed and improved rolling characteristics, 32% greater grip on the road, 21% greater puncture resistance, longer mileage, and longer tire wear life.

Tubeless TLR Road

The TLR construction provides puncture protection and speed. It uses a strong new Zylon material for optimal air retention. The tubeless setup is the lightest and fastest casing option.

Cotton casing

Vittoria is the first manufacturer of cotton tires. From now on, only Vittoria’s best road tires are made from cotton, a lightweight material that makes the casing highly flexible. Cotton threads are the finest structure in tire-casing technology, and their benefits are related to lightness and flexibility. This feature allows casings to be made with a higher thread count per inch; in the highest-quality cotton casings, this reaches 320 TPI. This helps the tire conform better to the road surface, resulting in a smoother ride, easier rolling, and better grip. To increase overall casing strength, Vittoria uses cotton threads of a specific type, made from a blend of cotton and aramid fibers. Vittoria cotton casings are used in products for professional competition, as demonstrated by multiple victories in the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, Vuelta a España, classic races, world championships, European championships, and the Olympic Games.

Graphene technology in tires

Graphene is an innovative material used by Vittoria in tire compounds to improve tire performance. It is the thinnest material in the world and one of the strongest materials ever used in consumer products. Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. It interacts with rubber by filling the space between rubber molecules. Acting like a magnet, it draws the rubber molecules closer together and improves the overall structure of the rubber. The main properties of graphene are thinness, strength, flexibility, and lightness. In MTB tires, GRAPHENE 2.0 improves wet-surface grip across all product lines.
