Commuters, tourers and e-bike riders who want maximum puncture protection, comfort and visibility.
The Vittoria Randonneur Tech G2.0 is for riders who just need to get there. Under the tread sits the Solid Shield breaker, Vittoria's most extreme puncture protection, because wet roads are where glass and thorns stick and flats happen.
A road-slick tread with water channels rolls efficiently in the wet or dry, and the graphene compound helps with grip and rolling resistance. The 33 TPI nylon casing stands up to rough roads and gravel paths, and reflective sidewalls help drivers see you after dark.
This is the wide 700 x 47c size with a wire bead. The extra air volume soaks up potholes and tram-line edges and suits loaded touring and e-bikes, which Vittoria builds this tyre for.

Great for
Maybe not for
700 x 47c, tube type with a wire bead. Check the ETRTO size on the sidewall against your rim, make sure your frame, fork and mudguards clear a tyre this wide, and use a tube rated for about 700 x 40-50c.
Weight is the trade-off
A tyre this tough and this wide is not light, but that extra rubber and breaker is what keeps you riding instead of fixing flats at the side of the road.
Check pressures weekly
Tube-type tyres slowly lose air. Keeping them at the pressure printed on the sidewall helps prevent pinch flats and makes the tyre roll easier.
