Engineered for riders who demand maximum reliability in
every season, RideArmor is the ideal choice for year-round training, commuting
and long distance riding.
The new 42mm size unlocks the full potential of today's road
and gravel race bikes, delivering even greater comfort, control and stability
while maintaining the outstanding durability that defines RideArmor.
The new larger tyre width is designed to match modern bikes
with ultra wide frame clearance. It provides enhanced grip and riding comfort
thanks to a larger contact area and bigger air volume.
1. RIDE INSIGHT
Modern endurance and all-road bikes are built to go further
than ever before. Increased tyre clearance, more compliant geometries and a
growing appetite for mixed-surface riding have redefined what riders expect from
a road tyre. Wider tyres deliver greater comfort on broken pavement, more grip
on unpredictable surfaces and increased confidence over long distances, without
sacrificing efficiency. To meet this evolution, Vittoria extends RideArmor to a
new 700×42c size, bringing its class-leading puncture protection and durability
to riders looking for maximum comfort and reliability.
2. THE PROMISE: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
RideArmor is Vittoria's most durable and resistant road tyre,
engineered for riders who demand maximum reliability in every season. Designed
for year-round training, commuting and long-distance riding, it combines
exceptional puncture resistance, long wear life and confident grip in both wet
and dry conditions. It is the tyre for cyclists who want to install it once and
simply focus on riding, without worrying about punctures, maintenance or
unexpected interruptions. The new 42 mm size fully unlocks the potential of modern
endurance and all-road bikes, adding the comfort, control and stability that
only a larger-volume tyre can provide while preserving RideArmor's
class-leading durability and protection.
3. RIDER BENEFIT: KEY TECHNOLOGIES
• ArmorSkin™ Sidewall Layer: world-class protection against
cuts and abrasions, even on the roughest surfaces.
• 2C Graphene + Silica Compound: Vittoria's advanced
technology, engineered to maximise mileage, grip and all-weather performance.
• Multi-layer 100 TPI Nylon Casing: robust construction
developed for durability and superior puncture resistance.
• Kevlar® bead-to-bead Protection Belt: anti-puncture belt
providing outstanding protection against debris.
• TLR & Tube-Type Compatible: one tyre, compatible with
both tubeless-ready and inner tube setups.
• E-Bike Ready: thanks to its durable compound, robust
casing, and overall construction, it is an ideal tyre for E-Bikes, offering the
durability and reliability needed to handle the additional weight.
4. THE PROOF
The new 42 mm size responds to a clear shift in how
endurance, all-road and gravel cyclists use their bikes. Riders are venturing
further from smooth tarmac, carrying more gear and spending longer hours in the
saddle. As a result, they need a tyre that can handle every ride without
compromise. The increased air volume absorbs vibrations more effectively,
reducing rider fatigue over long distances, while the wider contact patch improves
grip, stability and confidence across rough and mixed surfaces. The new 42 mm
size delivers greater comfort and exceptional reliability, without compromising
aerodynamic performance. Modern road and endurance bikes increasingly feature
wider tyre clearance and are aerodynamically optimised to perform at their best
with wider tyres.
5. PRODUCT VISION
RideArmor proves that durability and riding pleasure no
longer have to be a trade-off. The slick tread pattern delivers low rolling
resistance and excellent efficiency while maintaining dependable grip across a
wide range of road conditions. Combined with the distinctive black tread and
copper-coloured ArmorSkin™ sidewalls, it offers a premium aesthetic that
reflects its uncompromising engineering. For riders who demand maximum
reliability without sacrificing comfort, RideArmor 42 mm is the natural choice
for the next generation of endurance and all-road riding.
