The Vredestein Superpasso is a high-performance all-round road bike tire. This new Tricomp road tire combines superior aesthetics with low rolling resistance and excellent grip. The Superpasso is tailored to modern, wider rim profiles (19 mm) and thus offers a more accurate final installed tire width. The Superpasso is suitable for both training and competition purposes and is available as tube type and tubeless ready.  This is the clincher version that requires tubes. 

Developed in close collaboration with Italian designer Rodolfo Frascoli, the tire name and appearance are inspired by rugged Italian mountain passes with ever-changing climbs and descents. The light 150 TPI carcass of the Superpasso ensures smooth rolling behavior and provides extra comfort, especially on the flats and uphill. Then, when the descending begins, the Tri-Comp technology provides the rider with instant feedback, lots of grip and a comforting feeling of control when braking and cornering. The good puncture protection properties make the tire a real all-rounder, which has been tested under all weather conditions and therefore does not lose any of its performance capabilities, no matter the weather and road conditions.

Tricomp technology: When developing the Superpasso rubber compound, the Tricomp technology was used, which is characterized by using different compounds in the center and shoulder section of the tire profile. This provides better grip and handling in varied weather conditions in comparison with single or duo compound tyres. 

SPL and TWI: The Superpasso has an advanced Sportex Protection Layer (SPL). As a result, the risk of punctures is significantly lower than with a normal racing tire. The tire remains flexible and light. A practical feature is the Tread Wear Indicator (TWI), which helps recognizing when the tire is worn out and needs to be replaced.

About Frascoli Design: Italian designer Rodolfo Frascoli is the founder of Frascoli Design and worked closely with Vredestein engineers when developing the Superpasso. Frascoli has successfully designed motorcycles and scooters for global brands such as Triumph, Suzuki, Yamaha, Moto Guzzi, Vespa and Aprilia. When we asked him to design a bicycle tire, he accepted the challenge with passion and created the "Superpasso", which once again shows why he is one of the most important designers in the world of two-wheelers and mobility.
