RideArmor expands with a new 700×42csize, bringing even greater versatility to Vittoria’s most durable and puncture-resistant road tire, built around one clear priority: reliability. From the daily commute to a multi-day bikepacking adventure or a ride combining asphalt and light gravel, RideArmor is the no-brainer. – Vittoria Tires
Modern endurance and gravel race bikes are built to go further than ever before. Increased tire clearance, more compliant geometries and the growing popularity of mixed-surface rides are changing what cyclists expect from a road tire. The new size responds to this evolution, with increased air volume to better absorb vibrations and provide greater grip, stability and confidence over long distances, while also delivering aerodynamic benefits on bikes designed around wider tires.
MADE TO RIDE MORE, WORRY LESS
At the heart of RideArmor’s protection is the ArmorSkin™ sidewall layer, reinforcing the tire sidewall against cuts and abrasions even on the roughest surfaces. This is combined with a Kevlar® bead-to-bead protection belt for outstanding resistance against punctures and road debris across the entire tire footprint.
Completing the construction is Vittoria’s Graphene+ Silica compound, optimized for high mileage and durability while providing dependable grip across a wide range of surfaces and weather conditions. Its slick tread design ensures low rolling resistance and excellent efficiency, with the 100 TPI nylon casing completing a construction designed for long-lasting reliability.
The new size is compatible with both tubeless-ready and inner-tube setups and, like all other RideArmor sizes, is E-Bike Ready, further extending RideArmor’s versatility across different bikes, riders and uses.
ONE TIRE, WHATEVER THE DAY LOOKS LIKE
Not every cyclist starts a ride with a training plan or a finish line in mind. Sometimes the bike is simply the most practical way to get where you need to go. Other times, it is the starting point for an adventure lasting hundreds of kilometers. RideArmor is designed for both.
For commuters, it means a tire they can rely on every morning, through busy schedules and daily routines, knowing they can get where they need to be without worrying about unexpected tire issues. For bikepackers carrying additional gear and riding far from home and endurance riders it means the durability and puncture protection needed to keep moving overlong distances, where reliability matters most.
For gravel riders who spend most of their time on asphalt and light gravel, the new 42 mm size provides the comfort, stability and versatility needed to confidently move between different surfaces without sacrificing efficiency on the road.
Made for riders who need their tires to work, day after day, ride after ride.
The new RideArmor700×42cjoins Corsa PRO Control in Vittoria’s range of wider road tires, with both models available in 38 and42 mm sizes. While Corsa PRO Control is Vittoria’s performance- oriented option for riders seeking racing-level performance on demanding surfaces, RideArmor is the choice for those who prioritize durability, puncture protection and everyday reliability. Available from 26 mm to 42 mm, to meet every riding need with complete peace of mind.
