VITTORIA - Graphene 2.0

Graphene is the innovative material used by Vittoria in compounds to improve performance of tyres. Graphene is the world’s thinnest material but at the same time one of the strongest ever used for consumer applications. Made of a single hexagonal-shape layer of carbon atoms, Graphene interacts with rubber by filling the space in between the rubber molecules.
It acts like a magnet, making rubber molecules closer to one another and improving the overall rubber structure.

Vittoria believes there’s a strong potential in developing Graphene’s technology applied to tires. In fact, Vittoria succeeded in the development of a new generation of Graphene: GRAPHENE 2.0. All Vittoria’s tyres which are developed with Graphene embody the 2.0 technology.

GRAPHENE 2.0 (G 2.0) takes the original Graphene compound foundation that Vittoria built, and functionalizes the advancements in performance, for each specific application. In other words, where the first generation of Graphene compounds raised the bar evenly, GRAPHENE 2.0 pin-points each performance metric, and increases it disproportionally to the rest, targeting specific areas of improvement.

Creating defined chemical bonds between GRAPHENE 2.0 and rubber, the desired benefits will significantly improve without negatively impacting the other key properties. Depending on the type of tyre and its requirements, GRAPHENE 2.0 addresses the desired performance to improve, achieving a performance boost specifically for:

  • Speed/Rolling Performance (+5%)
  • Grip (+8%)
  • Puncture resistance (+19%)
  • Durability

Considering MTB tyres, GRAPHENE 2.0 significantly improves wet grip in all product lines. Regarding Roadtyres, GRAPHENE 2.0 significantly improves durability and mileage.
