The Vittoria Rubino Pro IV Control G2.0 is an ideal choice for road cyclists who demand extra protection against harsh road conditions without giving up the speed and handling characteristics of a racing tyre. It is specifically designed to handle rough tarmac and debris through its reinforced casing and anti-puncture layers, though it is slightly heavier than dedicated high-performance racing slicks due to its robust construction.

It is an excellent choice for endurance or training races where road conditions are poor, though dedicated racers may prefer a lighter tyre.
The Rubino Pro IV Control is a folding clincher tyre. Always check the sidewall markings to confirm if it is specifically labelled as Tubeless Ready (TLR) before attempting a tubeless conversion.
Replace the tyres when the tread pattern has worn flat or if you see visible cuts and cracking in the sidewall that expose the casing.
The 3C compound uses three different rubber types in one tread to provide a balance of durability in the center and grip on the shoulders.
Yes, the combination of the PRB anti-puncture layer and the wet-weather grip of the Graphene 2.0 compound makes them ideal for winter conditions.
Ensure the tyre bead is positioned deep in the center channel of the rim and use a tyre lever carefully to lift the final section over the rim wall.
Check that the rim tape is covering all spoke holes and inspect the inner tube for thorns or glass shards embedded in the casing that might cause recurring flats.
The Rubino Pro Control uses a folding bead, which makes it compatible with most standard clincher road rims. Ensure that your rim tape is properly seated before installation to avoid pinch flats. When mounting, push the bead into the center channel of the rim to provide enough slack to seat the final section by hand. To maintain the life of your tyres, check for embedded debris after every ride, keep your tyres inflated to the recommended pressure range for your rider weight, and store your bike out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the rubber compound from drying out.
