. Vittoria's Randonneur Tech G Road Bike Tyre represents a real revolution in bicycle tyre design with the use of a unique "G" graphene material. Produced by Vittoria's technology partner Directa Plus, G Isotech compound results in a durable tyre that is ideal for city commuting, touring use, and even wet weather riding Advanced Compound. Standard rubber tyres have a requirement to be optimised for one or two characteristics, such as making the tyre harder and heavier for more puncture protection and durability, or softer and lighter with less puncture protection for extra grip. As the Randonneur tyre benefits from Vittoria's "ITS" Intelligent tyre system compound, there is no need to compromise on any one feature. This tyre reacts to how you are riding; when youre rolling in a straight line it's hard and offers low rolling resistance and when youre cornering, braking, or accelerating, the compound softens to offer increased grip Features Vittoria's G Isotech compound Regulation compliant for e bikes Suitable for wet and dry use Double shielding puncture protection Nylon casing Reflective stripe Bead Type Clincher TPI 30Technologies Best For E bikes Vittoria also launches optimised range for electric bikes. The use of Graphene allows for longer battery life in urban usage, due to greatly reduced rolling resistance Double Shielding Double Shielding employs dual protective belts, a layer of first generation PRB breaker in addition to a high density rubber breaker strip under the tread G Isotech Compound GIsotech is Vittorias unique Graphene compound with revolutionary G*, as provided by technology partner Directa Plus. No compromise is necessary with this compound that is superior in speed rolling resistance, grip, durability and wear resistance Nylon Casing Nylon is a robust and durable artificial fiber traditionally used for strong tyre casings, equipping tyres to deliver the well known Vittoria characteristics of comfort, speed and good handling IT'S Intelligent Tyre System Vittoria tyres are now intelligent. ITS compounds become harder and softer, depending on the needs of the rider. If the tyre is rolling straight, the rubber is at its hardest and offers low rolling resistance. If the rider breaks, accelerates or corners, the compounds soften and offer significantly more grip. Prior to the advanced development of Graphene, there was always the requirement of choosing between optimising, or aiming at, speed, grip, durability and puncture protection. Effectively, the introduction of Graphene allows for natural material barriers of rubber to be removed, which means that there is no longer the need for such compromises between speed, grip, durability and puncture resistance.
