Vittoria has expanded its Terreno Gravel Endurance tire range to include new 700x50c and 700x55c sizes across most models, including the T10, T30, T50, and T70. The mud-focused T80 now offers a 700x50c option. These additions cater to the growing demand for wider tires in gravel cycling, providing enhanced comfort, traction, and control on diverse terrains.
The new 50mm and 55mm sizes are approximately equivalent to 29×2.0 and 29×2.25 inches, respectively, aligning with the trend of modern gravel bikes featuring increased clearance and the ability to tackle rougher terrains. Riders are increasingly seeking wider tires to accommodate bikepacking gear, improve grip, and boost confidence on challenging courses.
Vittoria’s Terreno T50 Mixed Gravel Endurance tire, for instance, is designed for a wide range of terrains, from hardpack to mixed conditions. It features a versatile tread design with directional siping and prominent side knobs for enhanced cornering grip and control. The tire’s endurance casing includes reinforced nylon sidewalls for increased puncture resistance and stability, making it suitable for long-distance gravel riding in various weather conditions.
