Technologies

Cotton casing – cotton threads are the finest threads used in tire casing technology, providing the benefits of low weight and flexibility. This allows casings to be made with a higher thread count per inch, up to 320 TPI in premium cotton casings. The tire can conform better to the road surface, resulting in a smoother ride, easier rolling and better grip. To increase overall casing strength, Vittoria uses Corespun threads, made from cotton and aramid fibers.

Graphene technology in tires – graphene is a material Vittoria uses 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 the rubber, filling the spaces between rubber molecules. Acting like a magnet, it draws the rubber molecules closer together and improves the overall rubber structure. Graphene’s key properties are thinness, strength, flexibility and lightness. In MTB tires, GRAPHENE 2.0 improves wet-surface grip across all product lines.

Graphene + Silica – silica added to graphene improves tire performance, increasing mileage and grip. This new compound combination also reduces tire weight and increases efficiency. Vittoria laboratory tests show that, compared with a conventional compound, the new graphene and silica combination provides 9% more speed and rolling performance, 32% more grip on the road, 21% more puncture resistance, greater mileage and longer tire life.
