bottomline

Vittoria

Vittoria cranks out genuine Italian-made tires for racers and riders serious about the sport. There's no room for part-timers among Italian riders, and the crew at Vittoria is no different. Whether you're training, doing long-distance rides, or pedaling hard with a number on your jersey, Vittoria has the right tire for the job. 

Since 1953, Vittoria has been manufacturing some of the finest bicycle tires available. Founded in the town of Madone Italy, Vittoria set about supplying Italian cyclists with racing tires, which led to the widespread popularity of Vittoria's tubular tires among the pros of the era. Naturally, that translated into immense success in road races throughout Europe, and expanded the reach of the brand considerably. Although <em>immense success</em> may be an understatement, considering that every grand tour and essentially every classic race has been won on Vittoria tires, most of them many times over. Perhaps more telling is the fact that Vittoria's Corsa and Pave series are commonly ridden on race day by teams that are sponsored by other tire brands. The logos may be blacked out, but that doesn't change the fact that Vittoria's tires, especially their notoriously supple cotton tubulars, have a bulletproof reputation that professionals rely on for the most demanding races.<br><br>Today, all of Vittoria's tires are manufactured in Thailand, which minimizes the distance between rubber production and tire molding. The upshot is that the quality of the tires is the best that it ever has been. It's fitting then that the commitment to racing remains as strong as ever, with the brand supporting UCI pro tour teams, national federations, and a handful of mountain bike teams as well. Speaking of which, Vittoria's mountain bike tires were sold under the Geax brand, but they have since been brought under the Vittoria banner. It's fitting, seeing as Vittoria has been working closely with its sponsored athletes to develop tires suitable for modern riding styles, and the resulting rubber is in every way worthy of the Vittoria name. We expect to see Vittoria tires racking up plenty of podiums in the years to come at every level of the sport.

<p>Constructed with XC racing and high-mileage trail rides in mind, the Mezcal III G2.0 XCR Tire is especially savvy on hard-pack trail surfaces. The alternating center tread keeps rolling speed nice and zippy, while cornering knobs still offer an effective edge for the inevitable unsupported corners. Vittoria's XC Race casing offers lightweight puncture protection, but priorities rolling speed for overall efficiency. </p>
