Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Graphene 2.0 Road Bike Tyre

The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro G2 is a tyre for the diehards who ride their bikes in all conditions; for seasoned long-distance riders who simply keep going. That said, this comfortable and durable tyre will certainly also please cyclists who prefer a more relaxing pace. So, the Zaffiro Pro G2 is an excellent tyre to get you through the colder months, or a perfect training tyre when you are saving your competition rubber!

Makeover for 2021
The Zaffiro Pro G2 was completely renewed for the year 2021. The tread was fully redesigned and now has elements inspired by Vittoria's more expensive Rubino and Corsa models. The grooves in the centre of the tread are derived from the Corsa competition tyre and enable the tyre to adapt more smoothly to the road surface. The texture on the tyre shoulders comes from the Rubino series; with the Graphene 2.0 rubber compound, it ensures high cornering grip in all conditions.

High durability, good grip
In addition to the tread, the carcass was also part of the makeover. It now has slightly thicker nylon threads, which has improved puncture protection and durability without affecting performance. Finally, the Zaffiro Pro G2 is still the number one mile-eater of Vittoria's road bike tyres - it is designed to last long, and its Graphene 2.0 rubber compound has been adjusted in such a way that the focus is on durability; the rubber is somewhat harder, which has required sacrificing some of the tyre's grip. Nevertheless, the Zaffiro Pro G2 is a very balanced tyre that still gives you plenty of traction on fast descents and in wet weather.

Graphene 2.0
For several years now, Vittoria has been using the magical material, graphene, in the production of its tyres. In 2019, the brand presented its second-generation compounds, viz. the Graphene 2.0 compound, for which Vittoria uses "functionalised graphene," whereby different quantities of graphene are incorporated in the compound. These quantities vary from 1% to 10% with the aim of adjusting the rubber composition to the type of use. In this way, Vittoria is able to enhance the tyre's performance in terms of speed, wet grip, durability, and puncture protection.
