Vittoria

The company

Vittoria tires is one of the world's largest tire manufacturers with headquarters in Italy and its own production in Thailand. With over seven million tires produced, Vittoria is a big player in the bicycle tire market.

Vittoria has established three pillars for its value structure: Innovation, Sustainability and Uniqueness. Through innovation, it wants to be able to offer high-quality, high-performance products. Sustainability plays an important role. It has been recognized that cycling itself is totally "green", tire production is not so far. For this reason, Vittoria has been a member of the Shift Cycling Culture since 2021, which is committed to sustainable change in the bicycle industry. Vittoria wants to lead the way with its tires in every respect. This is aptly expressed by the company motto "The Ride Ahead". The third pillar of the Vittoria philosophy is the uniqueness. This one wants to achieve, because one wants to be better than the competitors in every respect.

New technologies

Vittoria says about itself: "We are obsessed with developing innovative products". This obsession regularly produces technologies that make Vittoria tires stand out from the crowd. Here are a few examples:

• Graphene as an ingredient in certain rubber compounds. Vittoria is the only tire manufacturer to use graphene, a new wonder material, in its rubber compounds. Small additions of the extremely thin appearance of carbon provide significantly better effects than is the case with other additives.
• Silica Graphene: Rubber compounds to which silica (silicon dioxide) is also added last longer and offer better grip.
• 4-Component Technology: Vittoria uses four different rubber compounds for certain tires and combines them to create an exceptionally high-performance tread. In this way, the ideal rubber compound is used at every point of the tire. On the tread, for example, above-average abrasion-resistant rubber is used so that the tire lasts longer. The side lugs of mountain bikes, on the other hand, are decidedly stiff so that they do not buckle in curves.

What types of tires are available from Vittoria?

Vittoria tires has suitable tire models for every cycling discipline in the program. The overview of the different tire programs is more extensive. Vittoria offers the following types of tires:

• Vittoria road bike tires for racing, training and endurance use. Vittoria offers Tubeless Ready road bike tires, traditional folding tires and traditional tubular tires that have an integrated tube.
• Vittoria Gravel tires and Cyclo Cross tires, for tubular or Tubeless Ready as folding or clincher tires or with integrated air cushion as tubular tire
• Vittoria MTB tires for enduro and trail use. They are available in an all-round version called Vittoria Trail TNT. Vittoria Enduro TLR tires are above average robust and thanks to double-reinforced carcass exceptionally puncture-proof. Vittoria Enduro Race TLR combine high puncture resistance with an optimized driving experience on technical trails and at high speed. They have an additional puncture protection and are excellent for racing use.
• Vittoria XC tires combine low weight, good puncture protection and excellent grip. For this, decidedly fine-textured 120 TPI carcasses made of nylon are used. The XC Race TLR tires are super light and ideal for use in racing. Extremely robust are the tires of the XC Trail TNT family. Especially for the new XC discipline down-country are the eponymous models of the Vittoria portfolio. In them, the focus is on good durability, best grip and high puncture resistance.
• Vittoria bicycle tires for city and hybrid use. In these tires, the main focus is on high reliability and good puncture protection. Vittoria divides its city tires into three categories. Tires with "Standard Protection" use a robust, stiff 26 TPI nylon carcass. They are ideal for any type of city bike in normal urban use. 1.3 mm PRB category tires come with 1.3 mm thick puncture protection. 3 mm PRB tires come with 3 mm puncture protection and meet the highest demands. They are equipped with Graphene rubber compound, which increases durability and provides improved performance in bad weather.

Vittoria also has various e-bike series in the program. Vittoria E-MTB tires are designed for sporty off-road riding. They offer a perfect mix of good rolling characteristics, optimum grip and low weight. Vittoria E-Randonneur tires are designed for those who do not want to worry about their tires. They are a good choice for classic city e-bikes, trekking e-bikes and commuting e-bikes. They shine with good all-round properties, durability, good puncture protection and useful everyday features such as integrated reflector strips.
Vittoria Air-Liner tire inserts ensure that punctures are a thing of the past. A foam bead replaces the classic tube - a typical puncture is thus no longer possible. Air-Liner inserts provide excellent grip and maintain a constant "pressure".
