Vittoria Pista Control Cycling Tire

The outdoor track training tire

While there's nothing like the boards of an indoor, wooden track, you're just as likely to find yourself racing or training on concrete – and often exposed to the elements on an outdoor velodrome. For those days, no tire is faster, more responsive, and more reliable for fast laps on banked tracks.

A more robust compound and casing add life and durability while preserving the ride quality of a premium track racing tire. Unlike Vittoria's indoor-specific tires, the Pista Control earns its appellation with asymmetrical, straight-line tread on the outer edge to grip the upslope side – critical on outdoor tracks where conditions aren't always pristine.

Evolved for concrete or logging base laps, the Pista Control's Graphene-infused compound provides tacky grip and low rolling resistance with more durability. The upslope shoulder is etched with a subtle, straight tread, adding grip to prevent slide-outs. Beneath the compound, a 290-TPI cotton casing provides more abrasion resistance and longevity than indoor track tubulars while maintaining race-tuned rolling resistance and a supple, smooth ride quality.

290 TPI Corespun- K Casing

Lightweight cotton and durable aramid, spun in a 290-TPI casing that combines the former's intuitive, supple road feel with the latter's puncture resistance. Small impacts are smoothed, road noise is muted, rolling resistance is reduced, and more of the tire maintains contact with the road.

Graphene 1C Compound

A revolutionary compound engineered with Graphene for high grip, minimal rolling resistance, and low weight. Simple, supple, superlative, and ideal for the velodrome.
