Brembate (BG), September 2, 2026 – RideArmor expands with a new 700×42c size, bringing even greater versatility to Vittoria’s most durable and puncture-resistant road tire, built around one clear priority: reliability.
From the daily commute and long training rides to a multi-day bikepacking adventure, RideArmor is designed to keep you moving. Whether you are covering long distances or combining asphalt and light gravel, it is the no-brainer choice for cyclists looking for a reliable and durable road bike tire that delivers high mileage, puncture protection and versatility.
Modern endurance and gravel race bikes are built to go further than ever before. Increased tire clearance, more compliant geometries and the growing popularity of all-road and mixed-surface riding are changing what cyclists expect from a road tire. The new 42 mm size responds to this evolution, with increased air volume to better absorb vibrations, provide greater grip, stability, confidence and delivering aerodynamic benefits on bikes designed around wider tires.
MADE TO RIDE MORE, WORRY LESS:
At the heart of RideArmor’s protection is the ArmorSkin™ sidewall layer, reinforcing the tire sidewall against cuts and abrasions even on the roughest surfaces. This is combined with a Kevlar® bead-to-bead protection belt for outstanding resistance against punctures and road debris across the entire tire footprint.
Completing the construction is Vittoria’s Graphene + Silica compound, together with a 100 TPI nylon casing designed for high mileage and reliability. A slick tread design ensures low rolling resistance and excellent efficiency, making RideArmor Vittoria’s best tire for bikepacking, the best tire for training and the best tire for long-distance cycling.
All the RideArmor’s sizes are compatible with both tubeless-ready and inner-tube setups and are E-Bike Ready.
