The Tour of Aotearoa (TA) sees you encounter a wide variety of terrain. The ideal tyre is one that will handle most off-road conditions with confidence while having a low rolling resistance for those long-sealed road sections. In addition, the tyre must handle the load and be strong, hard wearing and trouble free.

No single tyre will be perfect in every condition – so choose a great all-round performer.

Vittoria’s performance off road tyres can be run tubeless or with tubes – giving you control.
