The toughest road tire available, for the harshest road conditions. RideArmor delivers dependable durability and long wear-life, with a focus on comfort and grip across all asphalt and weather conditions.
BREMBATE (IT), January 30th 2024 – Vittoria RideArmor is the new addition to the road tire range designed to provide the dependability and durability that commuters and cyclists that train hard expect from a bicycle tire.
The name says it all. When developing RideArmor, Vittoria engineers’ aim was to design a tire to be used all year long for training and commuting purposes, on any tarmac and weather condition. The result is a true armor able to defend cyclists from the most hateful enemy: punctures.
Enhanced durability and puncture resistance are offered by a bead-to-bead puncture protection belt, additional sidewall layers and bead shield layers. RideArmor features the Graphene + Silica compound, the most advanced compound for road tire applications from Vittoria. The Graphene + Silica compound, first developed for Vittoria’s top-of-the-range road tires Corsa PRO and Corsa N.EXT, provides durability, comfort, and grip on both dry and wet conditions, as well as on smooth and rough asphalts. The slick tread design provides low rolling resistance and speed and delivers a modern look & feel to the tire – especially when paired with the black/copper color of the sidewalls.

About Shimano
Shimano’s origins began in 1921 when Shimano Iron Works, the predecessor of Shimano Inc., was established by Shozaburo Shimano in Sakai city, Osaka, Japan. The first product was the bicycle freewheel, which, at that time, required the highest level of bicycle technology to produce.
By the 1950s the company was producing products such as external speed changers and internal speed changers (3-speed hub). The success of these products led to Shimano’s first overseas sales office, Shimano American Corporation (currently Shimano North America Holding, Inc.) in 1965, followed by Shimano Europe in 1973. The first overseas manufacturing base, Shimano Singapore Pte. Ltd., also opened in the same year.
In 1991, the company name became Shimano Inc. Its headquarters remain in Sakai, the city of Shimano’s birthplace. Shimano is dedicated to helping its customers get closer to nature, supporting people to realize their dreams and create new lifestyles. That comes with the desire to create outstanding cycling products and apparel.
Shimano Inc. has a wide range of functions, including planning, development, design, manufacturing, and various other support functions for supplying bicycle components as well as fishing tackle and rowing equipment.
Shimano Europe acts as the 'eyes, ears and mouth' of the global Team Shimano in Europe. Its mission is to be an excellent supplier and a valuable partner for all customers in its European markets and to create consumer demand for Shimano and Shimano-owned products.
With almost 100 years’ experience in creating internationally renowned bicycle components, Shimano is proud to have developed products that continue to take countless athletes to victory and provide the means for limitless global bicycle journeys.
