Ideal for gravel racers and fast all-road riders who want a 45 mm tyre for unpredictable mixed courses, rougher backroads and technical sectors where grip matters as much as rolling speed.
The Vittoria Terreno PRO T60 Mixed Gravel Race is the pick for riders who want race speed but don’t want to gamble on a hardpack-only tread. In this 700x45c tubeless-ready size, it is built for mixed gravel conditions with Vittoria’s proven V-formation tread, surface siping and balanced knob spacing. On the trail, that translates to a tyre that tracks consistently, corners with more security than a semi-slick, and still rolls quietly enough that road transfers and smoother gravel don’t feel like a drag.
Where this tyre makes the most sense is on courses that mix hardpack, loose-over-hard, rougher gravel, grass, wet patches and light mud. Independent test coverage consistently found strong grip and very confident handling, especially when things get loose or slippery, while also noting that it is more grip-focused than outright speed-focused race tyres. If you value a tyre that lets you stay committed through corners and technical sectors, the T60 is easier to trust than a faster but more delicate tread.
It is also a practical choice for riders who want race construction without giving away too much protection. The multi-layer organic cotton casing, recycled nylon sidewall protection, anti-puncture belt and Bead Shield are there to back up the ride feel with useful reinforcement. The key setup note is simple: stick with a tubeless sealant that does not contain ammonia, because Vittoria specifically warns that ammonia can damage the casing and tubeless insert.
Mixed-terrain race tread
The V-formation tread and balanced knob layout are designed to stay efficient on smoother sections while giving you more braking and cornering support when the surface turns loose or broken.
45 mm volume for rough courses
The 700x45c size adds comfort, control and stability for Australian gravel roads, chunky fire trails and longer events where tyre volume helps manage fatigue.
Tubeless-ready construction
Run it tubeless for lower pressures, better traction and fewer pinch-flat headaches on corrugations, rocky sectors and rough farm roads.
Race casing with reinforcement
The multi-layer organic cotton casing is backed by natural latex reinforcement, a recycled nylon anti-puncture belt and sidewall protection for a solid blend of ride feel and resilience.
Cornering confidence
Aggressive shoulder support and siped tread blocks help the tyre hold a line more securely when you lean into loose corners or damp hardpack.
Bead Shield protection
An extra protective layer at the bead adds durability in a high-stress area, which matters when you are setting tyres up tubeless or riding rough terrain regularly.
Natural brown finish
The Natural Brown look is part of the tyre’s material story, and slight visual variation between tyres is normal.
Sealant compatibility warning
Use a non-ammonia tubeless sealant only. That is an important buying and setup detail for long-term casing health.

Eco Race Formulation
We use a sustainably developed compound with natural rubber, soybean oil, and rice husk ash silica to give you speed and grip without compromise when the pace goes up.
Eco Race casing
This multi-layer organic cotton casing is reinforced with natural latex, recycled nylon sidewall protection and an anti-puncture belt, helping reduce rider fatigue while keeping race-day speed and reliability high.
Bead Shield
An additional layer on the bead adds extra protection where you need it most.
Recycled Nylon anti-puncture belt
This layer boosts puncture resistance to help keep your ride smooth and uninterrupted on rough gravel.
Recycled Nylon Sidewall Protection
A reinforcing 60 TPI recycled nylon layer adds extra protection and lateral stability, so you can push harder through mixed terrain with more confidence.
Seawastex®
Recycled nylon recovered from discarded fish nets is used in the anti-puncture belt and sidewall protection, delivering durability with a more considered material choice.
Great for
Maybe not for
This listing is for 700x45c / 45-622. Check your frame, fork and mud clearance carefully before ordering, especially on older gravel frames. Vittoria advises following the ETRTO rim-width recommendations for the tyre size, and it specifically warns against ammonia-containing sealants because they can damage the casing and tubeless insert. Hookless compatibility is not stated here, so we would treat that as a check-before-you-buy item with your wheel brand.
vs Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 45-622
A versatile mixed-terrain rival with a lighter listed weight in its 45-622 high-performance version and a reputation for balancing speed, grip and durability.
vs Schwalbe G-One RX PRO 45-622
Another modern gravel race tyre aimed at maximum off-road performance, with Schwalbe positioning it around grip, self-cleaning and race speed in challenging terrain.
vs Specialized Tracer TLR 700 x 45
A lighter mixed-terrain gravel tyre that leans towards fast acceleration and broad versatility, with an Australian listed price and wide local brand recognition.
Choose it for the course, not just the label
This is the tyre we would point you to when your event is genuinely mixed rather than just dusty hardpack. If the route includes loose turns, rough descents, damp ground or surprise trail sections, the extra tread is worth it.
Best as a front-and-rear set for rougher racing
In 45 mm, this tyre makes the most sense as a matched pair when you want full confidence and comfort. Riders building a faster mixed setup could also look at keeping the T60 up front and choosing a quicker rear tyre, but only if their course stays relatively dry.
Pressure matters more than usual
Independent testing suggests the T60 rewards careful pressure setup. Too firm and you give away compliance; slightly softer pressures help the tread conform better and unlock the grip this tyre is built to deliver.
Not the tyre for pure speed on sealed roads
If a big chunk of your riding is bitumen or fast hardpack, a lower-profile gravel race tyre will feel quicker. The T60 earns its place when the surface quality is inconsistent and you want the bike to stay calm underneath you.
