Modern endurance and gravel road bikes are designed to go farther than ever before. Increased tire clearance, more forgiving geometries, and the growing popularity of mixed-terrain routes are changing riders’ expectations for a road tire. This new 42 mm width responds to this evolution with a larger air volume that better absorbs vibrations, offering more grip, stability, and confidence over long distances, while providing aerodynamic benefits on bikes optimized for wider tires.

Ride more and worry less about flats

At the heart of the RideArmor’s protection is the ArmorSkin™ layer, which reinforces the tire’s sidewalls against cuts and abrasion, even on the roughest surfaces. It is combined with a full-width Kevlar® protective belt for exceptional resistance to punctures and debris across the entire tread.

The structure is complemented by Vittoria’s Graphene + Silica compound, optimized for high mileage and long-lasting durability, while delivering reliable traction on a wide variety of surfaces and in various weather conditions. Its slick tread ensures low rolling resistance and excellent efficiency, while the 100 TPI nylon casing rounds out a package designed for long-lasting reliability.

This new size is compatible with both tubeless-ready and tube setups. Like the other sizes in the lineup, it is E-Bike Ready certified, further enhancing the RideArmor’s versatility across different bikes, riders, and uses.

One tire for every ride

Not all cyclists set out with a training plan or a finish line in mind. Sometimes, the bike is simply the most practical way to get from one place to another. Other times, it’s the starting point for an adventure spanning hundreds of kilometers. RideArmor is designed for both types of riding.

For bike commuters, it’s the assurance of a tire you can count on every morning—despite a busy schedule and daily commutes—with the confidence that you’ll reach your destination without fear of an unexpected mechanical failure. For bikepackers carrying extra gear far from home and endurance riders, it offers the durability and puncture protection needed to keep moving over long distances, where reliability is paramount. For gravel riders who spend most of their time on asphalt and smooth trails, this new 42-mm width offers the comfort, stability, and versatility needed to transition from one surface to another with confidence, without sacrificing on-road efficiency.

The new RideArmor 700×42c joins the Corsa PRO Control in Vittoria’s line of wide road tires, with both models now available in 38- and 42-mm widths. While the Corsa PRO Control is the performance-focused option for cyclists seeking race-level performance on demanding surfaces, the RideArmor is the top choice for those who prioritize durability, puncture protection, and everyday reliability.
