What is the intended use?
Developed to meet the requirements of modern day XC and the emerging Down Country market. The Vittoria Syerra is better suited to aggressive XC and light trail scenarios, across a wide range of terrains and weathers, with the 4C Graphene 2.0 proving more than capable in both the wet and dry.
