Mazza Race uses Vittoria brand new Graphene & Silica soft compound specifically developed to satisfy the needs of performance oriented gravity riders seeking ultimate grip on any trail and condition. This softer compund provides optimal flexibility and deformation to the tread. Grip and damping absorption are maximized at every lean angle enhancing traction and control even on the toughest sections. Speed by more grip will lead your riding performance with no compromises. Mazza Race also features a new 60 TPI, reinforced nylon casing with extra puncture-resistance layer placed at the center, between the tread and the casing, that offers increased robustness to the tire. Mazza Race uses the same proven tread of the Mazza you are familiar with. The defined center tread and deep siping in the direction of rotation allow Mazza to roll fast while still opposing drift, especially in off-camber terrain. The stepped leading edge rolls like a ramp, but digs in on climbs, making Mazza a top choice for both front and rear use.
