Product Overview
Pista Ultra 3000 features a distinctive red latex tread
Pista Gold 3000 offers a slightly thicker gold latex tread, better suited for sprinters and high-torque standing starts
Both tyres use an innovative compressed thread cotton casing that offers greater suppleness and efficiency than traditional cotton or silk. The clincher version includes a reinforced Zylon bead, enabling pressures up to 130psi while maintaining excellent casing stability.
Performance Data
Extensive lab testing has confirmed:
Pista Ultra 3000 Clincher: the lowest rolling resistance of any track tyre tested by AeroCoach
Pista Ultra 3000 Tubular: 4.5% higher Crr than the clincher, but still class-leading
Pista Gold 3000 (Clincher & Tubular): approx. 13.5% higher Crr, ideal for sprinters
Real-world gains at 55kph on a 250m velodrome:
Pista Ultra 3000 Clincher: ~105cm advantage per lap vs. Vittoria Pista Oro Clincher
Pista Ultra 3000 Tubular: ~91cm per lap vs. Vittoria Pista Speed Tubular
Pista Ultra 3000 Tubular: ~52cm per lap vs. Dugast Pista Latex Silk (discontinued)
A change in rolling resistance of just 0.6 W can equate to a 25m advantage over an hour at 55 kph.
Usage Guidelines
Indoor velodrome use only
Clinchers: For hooked rims only (not hookless); 19–21mm internal rim width recommended; max 130psi or wheel manufacturer limit (whichever is lower); use with latex or TPU inner tubes
Tubulars: Must be professionally glued; max inflation 180psi / 12.5 bar; replace if removed from the rim
Inspect treads regularly and replace tyres with any visible wear or damage.
