"Since the unveiling of the 32" Aspen at the Taipei Cycle Show last year, the majority of 32" tire talk has centered around Maxxis. But with all the hype around and momentum behind the 32" wheel size (pun intended), we're sure that plenty of other tire brands are deep in development of their own 32" tires. This was confirmed recently, when the folks at Bikeradar spotted some Vittoria Peyote XC Race 32" tires on a display bike in the Genesis booth at the iceBike show."
"Like the Maxxis Aspen, Vittoria's Peyote XC tire is among the fastest cross-country race tires on the market. Given that much of the development around 32" wheels and bikes is focused on XC racing, it makes perfect sense that Vittoria would start there. According to Zigmont, " True to its innovative, race-driven approach. Vittoria has chosen to begin testing products designed to win on the race course, and here's where the Peyote XC Race fits perfectly with that goal. ""
Vittoria produced a Peyote XC Race tire in the emerging 32-inch wheel size, observed mounted on a display bike at the iceBike show. Photographs indicate a roughly 2.4" width and the use of the brand's Race Formulation rubber compound. Vittoria positions the Peyote XC Race as a race-focused product aimed at cross-country competition. The company has begun testing the tire at VittoriaLabs and is collaborating with several professional teams. Testing with sponsored teams and athletes is expected to put the tire through race conditions this year, increasing the likelihood of seeing them in competition.
