Vittoria is proud to introduce the Tire Pressure Calculator, a new online tool designed to help cyclists determine the ideal tire pressure for any bike type based on key variables. Existing online tools, while useful, often overlook critical factors. Vittoria has created a unique formula applicable across all cycling disciplines, from cyclocross to downhill, using extensive lab and real-world testing. Tire pressure has always been a crucial topic among cyclists, and even more so today. Recent tests confirm that lower pressures (compared to past standards) enhance grip, comfort, speed, and puncture resistance. But what is the optimal pressure? This question, frequently asked by professional teams and riders, inspired Vittoria to develop a comprehensive, science-based solution.
The Vittoria formula considers variables such as: tire model, tire type, wheel size, tire size, total system weight, riding style, inserts, e-bike usage, terrain conditions, weather conditions and bicycle type to deliver the ideal pressure. Validated through testing at Vittoria Park and Vittoria Labs, and approved by professional teams, athletes, and testers, this system ensures a highly personalized pressure recommendation for every rider.
