An ideal choice for commuters, touring cyclists and hybrid-bike riders who want dependable puncture protection, wet-weather confidence and useful low-light visibility.
The Randonneur Tech is a 700x40c city and hybrid tyre for commuting, touring and trekking. Its classic road-slick tread is designed to roll smoothly on paved roads, while subtle siping helps channel water across wet-weather rides. The 33 TPI nylon casing is suited to rough roads, gravel paths and hardpack fire roads, giving you a practical tyre for mixed urban and recreational riding.
Inside, the 1 mm rubber protection layer and two nylon layers help defend against sharp road debris, while Bead Shield reinforces the high-wear bead area. Vittoria’s Graphene-powered 1C compound is intended to balance rolling efficiency, traction and reduced road vibration. In real-world testing of the Randonneur Tech family, the tyre delivered a smooth, reasonably quick ride across winter roads and gravelly surfaces, with close to 300 miles completed without a puncture.
The reflective sidewalls improve visibility when you’re riding in low light, making this a strong choice for commuters who ride early or late. It is a rigid, tube-type tyre, so check your rim and frame clearances before fitting; hookless compatibility is not specified for this 700x40c version.
