A strong choice for commuters, utility cyclists and tourers who prioritise puncture protection, wet-weather confidence and low-light visibility over minimum weight.
The Vittoria Randonneur Tech is a 700x28c tube-type rigid tyre for commuting, touring and practical everyday riding. Its classic road-slick tread is designed to maintain smooth rolling on the road, while subtle channels help move water away from the contact patch in wet conditions.
For rougher urban surfaces and touring routes, the 1 mm rubber shield plus two nylon layers provide dependable protection against sharp debris. The 33 TPI nylon casing and Bead Shield add further reinforcement around the tyre, while the Graphene-powered 1C compound is designed to balance rolling efficiency, grip, durability and reduced road noise.
The reflective sidewalls catch vehicle lights as the tyre rotates, giving you extra visibility on darker commutes. Independent testing of the Randonneur Tech range found a comfortable, reasonably quick ride across varied winter surfaces and close to 300 miles without a puncture, although this is a durability-focused tyre rather than a lightweight performance choice. Check your rim width against Vittoria’s ETRTO guidance before fitting, and remember that this is a conventional tube-type tyre.
