Vittoria A Dugast Pipistrello Tubeless Ready

Vittoria A Dugast Pipistrello – Cyclocross Race Tyre

Engineered for pure speed on the fastest cyclocross courses, the Vittoria Dugast Pipistrello is the ultimate choice for riders chasing every marginal gain on hardpack, grass, and sandy terrain. With its semi-slick tread and iconic Dugast construction, this is a tyre built for podium-level performance.

At the heart of the Pipistrello is its unique diamond-pattern tread, delivering ultra-low rolling resistance while maintaining confident grip across mixed surfaces. The subtle micro-knobs and open tread design provide traction on sand and grass, while the signature “radius control” side channels enhance cornering precision and stability at speed.  

Constructed with a high-TPI cotton casing, the Pipistrello offers exceptional suppleness, allowing the tyre to conform to terrain for maximum grip and ride comfort. A neoprene coating protects the casing from moisture and mud without compromising performance, ensuring consistent race-day reliability.  

Available in both tubular and tubeless-ready options, the Pipistrello carries forward Dugast’s legendary handmade feel—now backed by Vittoria’s modern production and technology.
