Technologies

Cotton casing – cotton threads have the finest structure used in tire casing technology, making the casing lightweight and flexible. This characteristic allows casings to be made with a higher thread count per inch, up to 320 TPI in top-quality cotton casings. The tire conforms more closely to the road surface, providing a smoother ride, easier rolling and better grip. To strengthen the casing, Vittoria uses Corespun yarn, a special yarn made by combining cotton and aramid fibers.

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

Graphene and silica – adding silica to graphene improves tire performance, extends mileage and increases grip. This new compound combination also reduces tire weight and increases efficiency. According to Vittoria laboratory tests, compared with a conventional compound, the new graphene and silica combination provides 9% more speed and better rolling properties, 32% more grip on the road and 21% more puncture resistance, as well as longer mileage and tire life.
