The 2024 Giro d'Italia features the world's top cyclists, competing fiercely across the steepest gradients and most challenging landscapes. With mere seconds differentiating these skilled athletes over 21 days, the ultimate deciding factors are their technique and equipment.

At the Giro, bikes and equipment are designed for rough terrain to help riders. The point of contact between the bike and the terrain is crucial. Choosing the right tyres for your riding style and type can significantly improve your experience. Consider these tips to improve:

Width: Wider tyres increase surface area and control.
Tread: More tread provides more grip and control.
Rolling resistance (RR): Smoother surfaces require less RR, while rougher terrain demands more RR for better control.
Pressure: Harder pressure is better for smooth surfaces, while rougher terrain requires lower pressure.
Puncture resistance: The rougher the terrain, the more puncture resistance you need.

The Giro d’Italia gives riders and cycling stakeholders the platform to showcase the newest trends and technologies. Compared to its “rival race” the Tour de France, the Giro is known to be more brutal. Are you as excited as we are about the new bikes and technology at the 2024 Giro?
