Vittoria has been making tyres for bicycles since 1953, and currently sponsors both the Women’s and Men’s Jumbo Visma cycling teams. Other than a series of major wins, with the likes of Jonas Vingegard, the brand is possibly best known in recent years for its use of Graphene infused compounds. 

The RideArmor TLR tyre is Vittoria’s toughest all-season road tyre, developed with high puncture resistance for the worst road conditions. As such it’s not a lightweight racing tyre, but still, we’d expect it to have a decent amount of grip and show a good turn of speed.
