In 2022, Haydale and Italian manufacturers Vittoria announced a joint venture to supply functionalized graphene for use in their graphene-enhanced bicycle tires after successfully co-developing improved rubber compounds.
Graphene Pioneers
As the leading manufacturer of performance bicycle tires, Vittoria has been at the forefront of integrating graphene into bicycle tire rubber since 2015.
This partnership with Haydale has yielded remarkable results, resulting in the creation of bicycle tires that surpass existing ones in terms of strength, weight reduction, durability, improved grip, and minimized rolling resistance.
