The Vittoria Corsa PRO G2.0 TLR is a foldable tire with a cotton casing, Graphene + Silica compound, and puncture protection.
Cotton casing. Cotton threads have the thinnest structure used in tire casing technology, providing benefits in weight and flexibility. This allows casings to be made with a higher thread count, up to 320 TPI in top-quality cotton casings. The tire can conform more closely to the road surface, delivering a smoother ride, easier rolling, and better grip. To increase overall casing strength, Vittoria uses Corespun yarn, a specific type of yarn made by combining cotton and aramid fibers.
Graphene technology in tires. Vittoria uses graphene in its compounds to improve tire performance. Graphene is the thinnest material in the world and also one of the strongest ever used in consumer applications. It consists of a single hexagonal layer of carbon atoms. Graphene interacts with rubber by filling the spaces between rubber molecules. It acts like a magnet, bringing rubber molecules closer together and improving the overall rubber structure. Graphene's main properties are thinness, strength, flexibility, and lightness.
Graphene + Silica. Added to Graphene, Silica enhances tire performance and consistently provides longer mileage and grip. This compound combination also reduces tire weight and increases performance. Vittoria's laboratory tests have shown that, compared with a standard compound, the Graphene and Silica combination improves speed and rolling performance by 9%, grip by 32%, and puncture resistance by 21%, while also increasing mileage and tire wear life.
