Gato is a no-compromise race tire, aimed at riders who demand grip and low rolling resistance in wet conditions. The circumferential channels cut into the terrain, and guide debris away from the center line. Snow-tire derived siping keeps the knob flexible at the surface, allowing for maximum traction on wet roots and rocks. Wrap this tread in the 4C Graphene compound, and you get a very fast tire, that can hold its speed over slick terrain. The choice for taking the win in wet conditions! With the application of Graphene in Vittoria tires, Vittoria has truly developed revolutionary products. They have created a new product range called the "Intelligent Tire System" (IT'S). IT'S compounds become harder and softer, depending on the needs of the rider. If the tire is rolling straight, the rubber is at its hardest and offers low rolling resistance. If the rider breaks, accelerates or corners, the compounds soften and offer significantly more grip. Prior to the advanced development of Graphene, there was always the requirement of choosing between optimizing, or aiming at, speed, grip, durability and puncture protection. Effectively, the introduction of Graphene allows for natural material barriers of rubber to be removed, which means that there is no longer the need for such compromises between speed, grip, durability and puncture resistance. All these features are now reaching their maximum possibilities. • Circumferential channels provide cleaning paths for mud and debris • Round profile for even cornering transitions • Snow tire siping on all knobs provides grip on the top of the cleats
