The Rubino Pro Control IV tire uses Vittoria's Graphine tread for improved durability, grip and longevity. Graphene is a graphite derivative that can be produced in sheets at one carbon atom thickness that is nearly transparent, but has incredible strength for such an ultra-thin material. It is currently being tested for use in numerous and diverse fields, from computer chip design through major construction industries. It is the incredible strength to weight ratio and the impervious nature of such a thin material inspires the engineering world, and for cyclists that means you will be seeing graphene in more than just Vittoria's tires and wheels.

The 120tpi casing is woven from fine nylon fibers, which keeps the casing supple as supple as possible, and Vittoria adds more G+ rubber to the enhance the overall structure and ensure better protection, especially at the sidewall. The trade rubber is called 3C, featuring Graphene and has been applied in a thicker layer than before to add wear resistance and again, enhances protection, as well as massively improving wet surface grip. Graphene is a game changer, with Vittoria leading the pack.
