Product technical specifications

TECHNOLOGY

TUBULAR: The tread of Vittoria cotton tubulars is glued by hand on the casing. Tubular construction allows for puncture protection and reduced rolling resistance. Tubular is the tire construction used by professional riders.

Cotton Casing: Vittoria is the first and still number one producer of cotton tires. As of today, only Vittoria best road tires are made out of cotton, a light material which makes the casing very flexible. Cotton threads have the thinnest structure in the tire casing technology, with benefits related to lightweight and flexibility. This characteristic allows to develop casings with a higher number of threads per inch, up to 320 TPI for the top-quality cotton casings. This property allows the tire to conform closer to the road’s surface, providing a smoother ride, easier rolling, and better grip. In order to boost the overall strength of the casing, Vittoria uses Cotton yarn, which is a particular type of yarn made by cotton and aramid fibres combined. Vittoria’s Cotton casing is used for Pro Competition products, proven by multiple victories as in Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Vuelta a Espa?a, Classics, World Championships, European Championships and Olympic Games.

About GRAPHENE technology in tires: Graphene is the innovative material used by Vittoria in compounds to improve performance of tires. Graphene is the world’s thinnest material but at the same time one of the strongest ever used for consumer applications. Made of a single hexagonal-shape layer of carbon atoms, Graphene interacts with rubber by filling the space in between the rubber molecules. It acts like a magnet, making rubber molecules closer to one another and improving the overall rubber structure. Graphene’s main properties are related to: Thinness / Strength / Flexibility / Lightness.
