Technologies

Cotton casing

Cotton threads have the finest structure used in tire casing technology, helping make the casing lightweight and flexible. This property allows casings to be made with a higher thread count, up to 320 TPI in top-quality cotton casings. As a result, 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 specific type of yarn made by combining cotton and aramid fibres.

Graphene technology in tires

Graphene is an innovative material that 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 for consumer products. Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. It interacts with the rubber, filling the space between rubber molecules. Acting like a magnet, it brings the rubber molecules closer together and improves the overall structure of the rubber. Graphene’s main properties are thinness, strength, flexibility and lightness. In mountain bike tires, GRAPHENE 2.0 improves wet-surface grip across all product lines.

Graphene + Silica

Adding silica to graphene improves tire performance, provides longer mileage and enhances 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 improved rolling properties, 32% more grip on the road, 21% more puncture resistance, longer mileage and a longer tire wear life.
