Vittoria Plans to Build Bike Park & Expand Headquarters in Italy
Vittoria has announced plans to build a bike park adjacent to the company’s headquarters in Brembate, Italy, and will create an associated ‘innovation center’ for tire research, prototyping, and testing in both lab and real-world conditions.
The bike park will be open to the public, unlike the innovation center, which will be used by Vittoria partners such as sponsored athletes and bike manufacturers. The bike park will feature a variety of terrain and structures to test tires in a wide range of conditions, with the twofold goal of providing a useful testing ground while also promoting the joy of mountain biking by making the park accessible to all.
The investment, scheduled for 2022, will cost €10 million and will see Vittoria’s premises grow from 10,000 to 40,000 square meters.
As part of the expansion, Vittoria will double its current warehouse capacity.
By the end of 2022, this space will look very different.

Vittoria, "Hold my beer"
Yeah some companies enjoying the influx. I was looking for a 2.6 Martello to run up front this winter and had to buy from a shop in Italy. It only measures 2.45ish on an i32 rim so in addition to building all the things, maybe Vittoria can get their casing size sorted on the larger models.
Plus good trail building companies are not cheap.
