Casing
| CORESPUN Vittoria’s unique Corespun casings are the product of years of experience, clever R&D, and advanced production technology, proven by millions of kilometers of racing. The basis material is made of superfine polycotton threads. These threads have a polyester core overspun with cotton. This dense weave is then encased in latex. Corespun casings differ in thread size and additive content, according to intended use. |

Corespun 320 TPI is the industry’s most advanced polycotton casing, made of the a new, finer, stronger thread that requires no added Kevlar®, allowing cotton’s uniquely supple and resilient quality to shine through. | |
 |
Corespun K 320 TPI has an admixture of Kevlar® threads for casings where strength is of the essence, as in our Pavé tubulars and tyres. | |
 |
Corespun T 320 TPI utilizes the finest thread available, exclusive to Vittoria. This special 320 TPI fabric makes for the lightest, supplest and faster casing ever, capable of withstanding the extreme pressures needed for track and crono tubulars. | |

COTTON 220 TPI Cotton is the traditional material of high-quality racing tubulars. Vittoria produces casings in the finest grade of natural cotton, 220 TPI, for a range of top-class tubulars for road and track, in every size. |

NYLON Nylon is a robust and durable artificial fibre used by most manufacturers for utility tyre casings. Traditionally, it lacked the flexibility of the polycotton casings preferred by élite riders but was lighter in weight than polycotton threads. Now Vittoria has succeeded in engineering nylon yarn into our exclusive Nylon Plus 220 and 150 TPI weave, setting a new standard in each class of clincher tyres. Weight is cut by 10% over the previous best nylon casings, while road feel and rolling resistance approach closer to the top-performing polycotton open tubulars. Vittoria also offers casings in Nylon 120 TPI, Nylon 60 TPI, and Nylon 26 TPI, each equipping a family of tyres at its respective point on the price-performance scale, and all conferring the Vittoria characteristics of comfort, speed, and good handling. |
