Vittoria Diamante Pro Light

With all the talk recently about the banning of Michelin tyres at Manchester Velodrome, and instructions to only use tyres from Schwalbe and Continental on the world famous boards, Velodromeshop.org.uk recommends Vittoria Diamante Pro Light as the best Clincher Tyre available for Track Cycling

Following thorough testing throughout 2008 on Manchester and Newport Velodromes, as well as Palma Arena and outdoor tracks such as Newcastle's Lyme Valley Stadium, Halesowen's Manor Abbey Stadium, Maindy Track in Cardiff and Son Moix and Sineu Tracks in Mallorca, the Vittoria Diamante Pro Light came out on top.

Also tested were the Continental Supersonics and the Schwalbe Stelvio both of which were more than suitable for use on the Track, however they're quite simply not in the same league as the Vittoria Diamante Pro Lights

The lightest and fastest Nylon clincher on the market was revised for 2008 with 220 TPI Nylon Plus casing, coupled with an all new PRB 2.0 puncture resistanct belt, which reduced the weight even further while increasing the puncture protection up to 40%, which is obviously essential when flying round the boards at 40mph with no brakes!

A unique bead to bead full slick tread gives the Diamante Pro Light the most modern and aerodynamic race appearance, perfect for the Track

When it comes to durability the Vittoria Diamante Pro Light Clincher Tyres far out lasted both the Supersonics and Stelvios, with the latter only lasting a month (one Track Session a day) and the tread showing in the Supersonics after around three months, whereas we got through one set of Vittoria Diamante Pro Lights on our Clincher Wheels in the year!

Obviously these are huge advantages to consider when it comes to purchasing you Clinchers for the Track, extremely durable and the most aerodynamic and lightest tyre available which is fantastic if you are looking to shave time of those PBs or get that advantage in a bunch race. So its well worth investing in a pair of Vittoria Diamante Pro Lights as when it comes to Track Clinchers, nothing comes close!
