First look: Vittoria Graphene road tyres
Vittoria have released a new range of tyres featuring Graphene+, a nano-technology material which Vittoria claim is lightweight, reduces rolling resistance, increases speed and grip and copes better with wear and tear than standard compounds.
Vittoria are using Graphene+ in their much-loved all-rounder Rubino range and high performance Corsa tyres too.
Here’s a quick look at the tyres in the Rubino collection, which is the tyre of choice for riders looking for something dependable and long-lasting:
