Vittoria Graphene Technology
Graphene is a material which has exceptional characteristics that make Vittoria products advantageous for many different purposes and uses; it derives from carbon, more precisely from graphite. Graphene has exceptional properties: although its structure is extremely 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-meters surface; Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel and 6 times more flexible

Vittoria Cotton Casing
VITTORIA NYLON CASING
Nylon is a robust and durable artificial fiber traditionally used for strong tire casings. The artificial fiber can be very light but is not as supple as Corespun. Our nylon casings set a new standard in their class. Vittoria offers casings in nylon 220 TPI, 180 TPI, 150 TPI, 120 TPI, nylon 60 TPI, and nylon 26 TPI, each equipping tires at its respective point on the price-performance scale, and all conferring the Vittoria characteristics of comfort, speed, and good handling.Nylon casing 120 TPI are used in Vittoria high-end Cross-Country and Enduro/All-Mountain MTB tyres; 60 TPI nylon casings feature Vittoria Downhill product line; 26 TPI nylon casings feature Vittoria MTB and Urban entry-level tyres
TPI CHARACTERISTICS
As mentioned before, the grade of fabric used in a tire’s casing is expressed in threads-per-inch (TPI): the higher the TPI number, the finer the threads, the denser the weave, and the suppler the tire. Vittoria tires and tubulars range from 26 TPI to 320 TPI. Riders in search of higher performance are more likely to choose higher-TPI tires. For many sporting riders, folding tires of around 150 TPI are a good all-round combination of weight, rolling resistance, durability, and comfort. A higher TPI brings the benefit of lower weight and rolling resistance, at the expense of durability. No-compromise riders seek out tubulars and open tubulars for the maximum flexibility of high TPI casings
