Vittoria has embraced its role at the forefront of bicycle industry and in the year 2000, through an explicit commitment to pushing the envelope and driving innovation. This commitment has seen Vittoria achieve several innovation milestones. This includes cotton casing tires, latex inner tubes and the blending of 4 different compounds (known as 4C); all combining seamlessly in the same tire. Vittoria's contribution to improving your ride however, is the ability to leverage the qualities of Graphene, deployed in both our tires and wheels. Graphene is derived from graphite and its structure is very thin, (molecules are as thin as an atom 1/1,000,000,000th of a meter) one gram of Graphene can cover a 2.630 square meter surface.
