Vittoria releases its most anticipated product range in a decade: the Terreno PRO Gravel Range. The new PRO level tires provide measurable gains in key performance areas: 5% faster construction, 19% more grip, and 18% more puncture resistant than the already tough Terreno Endurance range. Terreno PRO even delivers a more comfortable ride. All of this is possible thanks to its award-winning and revolutionary construction.
The Terreno Pro has been spotted this season underneath many cycling’s leading early adopters, such as Tom Pidcock, Alison Jackson, and Lachlan Morton. Now it’s available for forward thinkers everywhere.
Terreno PRO tires are made with 92% renewable and recycled materials. They feature an organic cotton casing (cotton is the magic in Vittoria’s most high-end and technologically advanced products) delivering unmatched ride feel. The casing also includes recycled nylon from discarded fishnets (Seawastex®), creating a unique and highly resistant blend. Add soybean oil and rice husk ash silica, and you have a tire that is Naturally Fast. They are also produced in the world’s only CarbonNeutral® operations certified tire factory. Compared to the Gravel Endurance construction, the new PRO one achieves an average carbon footprint reduction of 35%*.
“This is the future. And we’re laying down the track so everyone can ride toward it. As a company, we want natural brown tires to become the norm in a few years, while the old-school black ones, with carbon black, start to look outdated.”
says Stijn Vriends, Chairman & CEO of Vittoria
Colour is far from a secondary element in the Terreno PRO range. The tread comes in a natural brown tone that perfectly complements the lighter cotton sidewall: an aesthetic that speaks directly to the product’s natural essence.
It all started two years ago at the Taipei Cycling Show, when the Terreno PRO T60 won the TAIPEI CYCLE d&i award, Gold Award Green Prize. Since then, from the latest Gravel World Championships in mid-October to last week’s Gravel Burn in South Africa, Terreno PRO has continued to attract huge attention across the cycling industry and among gravel enthusiasts worldwide.
NATURALLY FAST. A unique product range that breaks the long-standing taboo that sustainability can’t coexist with performance. Terreno PRO tires are high-performance products, ready to take on the toughest gravel tracks and competitions, getting every rider from start to finish as fast as possible. How? Sustainably. Period.
A TRUE REVOLUTION.
Classified according to the Gravel Terrain Score introduced by Vittoria last April, the new range includes models from PRO T10 Hardpack to PRO T60 Mixed.
