Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer Tire - 700 x 23, Folding, Clincher, Red

With the advent of virtual training apps and the gamification of smart trainers, trainer season has become a year-round affair for some. For others, those apps and smart trainers almost take the “pain” out of “pain cave.” Almost.

Regardless of your reason for it, indoor training is infinitely more enjoyable now than it was even a decade ago. With the Zaffiro Home Trainer tire, it’s also easier on your racing gear. The Zaffiro’s construction emphasizes longevity over on-road performance – which is wasted on a trainer or rollers – making it one of the most effective investments possible when calculated in terms of pennies per virtual mile. Trainers eat tacky, supple racing tires fast, but the Zaffiro is equal to the abuse.

An ultra-durable sheath of long-lasting protection. This casing isn’t as supple and buttery-smooth as 360-TPI cotton, but that’s not it’s job. Instead, it’s engineered to resist the roughest roads in the most challenging conditions without puncturing.
