Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Folding Tire
Zaffiro Pro, new tread for an increased safety for training.
Thanks to the newly developed tread, with deeper cuts in the middle and shallower on the shoulders we achieved a better water dispersion (Aquaflow computer simulation) and a faster and safer tire when cornering. 60 TPI casing, Aramid Endura 3D Compound new compound (for a lower rolling resistance) and foldable bead all sum up to enhance the Zaffiro Pro as the ideal training tire.
Training tires are never durable enough. For this reason we upgraded our Aramid Compound to increase its wear resistance, maintaining the safe and inspiring road-behavior our tires are famous for.
The application of "rain" car tire design to bicycles: water is driven out of the tread by the rotating forces acting on the tire where deep tread grooves allow water to escape quickly. The Aqua-Flow concept will be a constant feature for future city-trekking models and finds its first application in the new Randonneur family.
This casing is an updated version of our classic Nylon 60 and Nylon 26 TPI casings. Our addition of the High Carbon content has improved the durability of the casing while maintaining a good balance between comfort and performance.
Value priced performance tires that incorporate 60 TPI nylon casing cord and offer a high level of performance while maintaining the durability and the usual comfortable ride you expect from Vittoria.
PRB is a thin lightweight but extremely strong material that is placed under the tread in order to achieve maximum puncture protection while maintaining low rolling resistance.

Vittoria Rubino Pro Folding Tire
Vittoria’s flagship model when it comes to high-mileage (torture-tested in extreme events like RAAM, Race Across America!) is back, completely renewed!
- Nylon 120 TPI casing, market-standard for high performance;
- New 'Kevlar Endura 3D Compound', with high duration and exciting road-behavior;
- PRB puncture protection;
- Updated tread pattern, with "dot C.O.M. Vector" design.
When making this new compound, we decided to capitalize on our glorious Kevlar 3D Compound and increase its wear-resistance. Kevlar Endura ensures:
- superior tread-life;
- very good grip, on all roads;
- low energy absorption.
Strongly recommended for its high-mileage, both training and racing.
The casing is manufactured with a combination of 120 TPI casing cord and Vittoria proven Puncture Resistant Belting (PRB), resulting in a fast, supple ride at great value.
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. This ingenious Twin Tread design places the hard tread in the center where the wear occurs, and uses a softer compound on the shoulders for unparalleled grip when cornering.
This is an evolution of the dot C.O.M. concept, implying a more complex use and application of the "diamonds" onto our treads, according to a larger number of parameters:
• Dimension: every single diamond has to be seen as a three-dimensional pyramid; since these pyramids are smaller near the tread centre and taller towards the sides, we get a lower rolling resistance in rectilinear motion and more grip on bends.
• Shape: projected to obtain the maximum speed possible; every diamond is oriented to best cope with side and breaking forces
• Direction: all elements follow a curved shape, in order to better drain water onto wet roads.

Vittoria Diamante Pro Folding Tire
Safe on all kinds of asphalt and really fast, Diamante Pro is the state of the art of modern nylon bicycle tire construction. The casing is a 220 TPI nylon wonder (a Vittoria exclusive and now further improved) and has got a new Integra 252 puncture protection, for flexibility, comfort and exceptional reliability.
Vittoria still uses a specific tread compound, the Kevlar® Carbon 3D Compound (with silica and carbon black), in order to achieve the main goals related to such a high level of racing tires: grip, low rolling resistance and endurance. Another great feature of this tire is the new tread pattern which has been designed following the Prisma C.O.M. Vector Design: a slick central part with an orientated rhomb pattern on the sides, where each "rhomb" is shaped and oriented to perform better with side and breaking forces.
The new tread pattern has been developed thanks to the new Finished Element Analysis (FEA) software in order to guarantee an outstanding grip and safety.
A new high-end compound, Kevlar® Carbon 3D Compound is the synergy of Kevlar strength and Carbon durability.
Adding Silica to this performance compound, we set the reference for vulcanized high-TPI nylon tires.
Integra is a bead to bead puncture protective layer. We use it for our 220 TPI nylon casings, the highest density of nylon cords available on the market (Vittoria exclusive): with Integra we can take advantage of the super-lightweight casing without compromising its sidewall resistance and sky-high maximum inflating pressure (160 PSI for the Diamante Pro Light!).
The traditional shape of the micro-knobs has been changed in favor of Prisma, a prism with a rhombus base in order to reach a higher contact surface with still the lower achievable rolling resistance.
The unbeatable Nylon 220 Casing (220 TPI, a Vittoria exclusive) get even better. In fact Nylon Plus 220 is the last Vittoria technological solution and it raises the bar for what concerns the nylon clincher limits. A yarn with unbeatable mechanical proprieties, for the first time ever used in the cycling field of application, allowed us to reduce weight by 10%. It means therefore a better flexibility and improved road performances.
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. Twin Tread is an ingenious design that places the hard tread in the center where the wear occurs, and uses a softer compound on the shoulders for unparalleled grip when cornering.

Kenda Juarez Dred Tred Folding Tire
Tinker Juarez Signature Series
Tinker is your typical cross country racer - skinny, fit and fast . He wanted to build a tire that was a racer’s dream, but felt equally at home in an all day epic. From this criteria the Dred Tread was born. Thanks to the low profile knobs, it’s a fast rolling tire. Tinker designed it using our Dual Tread Compound to provide needed cornering grip with the added benefit of longer wear in the tire’s center and low rolling resistance. Each knob on the tire accomplishes a specific duty and we added Tinker’s initials on the side knobs for that personal touch.
Dual Tread Compound (DTC) for longer tread life and added traction
Low profile knobs for more race speed
Lightweight and fast rolling
