Technologies

3 mm rubber protection: Vittoria reinforced city tires use a strong nylon construction and a 3 mm thick rubber insert between the tread and casing to increase puncture protection. Graphene compounds help extend tire life and improve performance in wet weather. The tires use rigid beads, a long-tested solution that is easy to use with inner tubes.

Nylon casing: Nylon is a strong, durable synthetic fibre traditionally used to make robust tire casings. Nylon threads are thicker than cotton threads, so there are fewer threads per inch. Nylon casings are strong and durable, extending casing wear life. However, as a synthetic fibre, nylon is not as elastic (soft or flexible) as cotton.

Graphene technology in tires: Vittoria uses graphene in tire compounds to improve tire performance. Graphene is the thinnest material in the world, yet also one of the strongest materials ever used in consumer products. It consists of a single layer of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms. Graphene interacts with rubber and fills the spaces between rubber molecules. It acts like a magnet, bringing the rubber molecules closer together and improving the overall structure of the rubber. Graphene’s main properties are thinness, strength, flexibility and lightness. In MTB tires, GRAPHENE 2.0 improves wet-surface grip across all product lines.
