Description Vittoria's elite Diamante Pro Clincher enters its third generation with a new radial casing construction for even more efficient performance.
Like last year's model, the Diamante Pro III Radiale boasts a 220 TPI nylon casing for an incredibly supple ride quality and great handling characteristics. But this new radial model improves on those attributes even more; all the cord plies of the radial casing are set at 85° to the direction of travel (from bead to bead). This mean's that the cords which make up the casing deform freely as the tire flexes, greatly reducing friction and improving grip compared to traditional tires which are constructed from overlapping cords.
Vittoria also states that this added flexibility allows them to produce the Diamante Pro III in widths which are 1mm narrower than typical racing tires, resulting in reduced weight and improved aerodynamics with no sacrifice to ride quality.
Bead to bead flat protection is provided by the featherweight PRB 2.0 puncture protection belt. And on the surface, a slick center and lightly textured shoulders further the balance of speed and grip in all road conditions.
The Diamante Pro III Radiale is available in Black only. Available sizes: 700c x 22 (22-622 ISO) 195 grams 100-145 PSI; 700c x 24mm (24-622 ISO) 210 grams. 100-120 PSI.
