RideArmor is Vittoria's puncture-resistant workhorse, not a gravel tyre — but its size range now stretches to 38mm because endurance and all-road frames have quietly gained the clearance to fit it. The compound is borrowed from the Corsa Pro and Corsa N.ext line, so the toughness comes without a new casing recipe. Widths from 28mm up are hookless-rim compatible, which puts RideArmor squarely on modern wheel setups rather than legacy road rims. The tyre didn't get wider to chase a trend; the bikes underneath it did.
