Vittoria Tires | Pista Control, Graphene 2.0

THE OUTDOOR TRACK TRAINING TIRE
Cycling’s greatest legends made their names on the boards of Europe’s indoor velodromes, but for aspiring legends who don’t have access to those facilities – or the full-service course of a national team – the Pista Control clincher provides convenient, glue-free mounting. It’s still got the reliable durability, concrete-tuned traction, and unrivalled ride of a Vittoria track tubular; it’s just more convenient to mount and service.

A more robust compound and casing add life and durability while preserving the ride quality of a premium track racing tire. Unlike our 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 our indoor track tubular while maintaining race-tuned rolling resistance and 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.
