With the Terreno Pro T60, Vittoria aim to combine sustainable manufacturing with maximum grip. The tire is designed to deliver a secure, confidence-inspiring ride in every situation. However, it is not the only grip-focused gravel tire in this group test. So how does this eco-conscious contender stack up against the competition?

The Vittoria Terreno Pro T60 is designed to perform across virtually any terrain you can throw at it. Whether it’s gravel or proper trail riding, it is built to handle it all. The tread is intended to dig in on wet or muddy surfaces, giving you consistent traction when conditions deteriorate. The T60 is part of Vittoria’s sustainably produced Pro series, said to be made from 92% renewable and recycled materials to reduce their environmental footprint. Despite this focus, the Pro series is claimed to match traditionally manufactured competitors in every respect.

That all sounds promising, but it only counts if the performance delivers, and this is where the tread comes into play. The Terreno Pro T60 stands out with its large, sharply shaped knobs, arranged in a V pattern to improve rolling efficiency in the direction of travel, while still generating plenty of grip. This is complemented by aggressive shoulder knobs designed to give you maximum support through the corners.

Brown Grip Monster: Vittoria Terreno Pro T60 in the 2026 Gravel Tire Group Test

Like the other Vittoria gravel tires in this test, the Terreno Pro T60 is noticeably heavier than the competition. The average sits at 570 g, putting the 667 g T60 almost 100 g above it. That said, weight is not the primary concern here, as the focus is clearly on maximum grip. Efficiency still plays a role, though, and with a rolling resistance of 16.6 W, the T60 sits firmly in the slower half of the field. It’s also the slowest Vittoria tire on test. Compared to equivalent models from other manufacturers, like the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel S, which promises a similar level of grip and comes in at 16.3 W, the Terreno Pro T60 is still well within a comparable range – no real cause for concern here.

When it comes to grip, which is ultimately what matters most here, the Vittoria T60 truly delivers. With outstanding traction on both loose and wet ground and otherwise challenging terrain, the tire inspires huge confidence, digging into loose surfaces and holding its line through corners. It is a true grip monster, and a lot of fun to ride. This feeling carries straight over into the handling. The Terreno Pro T60 strikes a very effective balance between the agile T50 and the more rounded, composed feel of the T30. It remains predictable at all times while still offering enough agility to react quickly on tight, technical sections.

Compliance, however, takes a noticeable hit, sitting clearly below average. It is worth adjusting the tire pressure to suit, which actually aligns well with its intended use, as a slightly softer setup allows the tire to conform better to the ground and generate even more grip. Puncture protection follows the familiar Vittoria pattern, with very strong resistance to pinch flats, but below-average puncture resistance. The T60 even goes a step further here, delivering the second-best pinch flat protection in the entire test, so it should be more than capable of tolerating lower pressures to improve comfort. Only the two Challenge gravel tires perform better in this regard.

Conclusion on the Vittoria Terreno Pro T60

All in all, the Vittoria Terreno Pro T60 delivers exactly what the brand promise. With outstanding grip, very confident handling and excellent pinch flat protection, it brings everything you need for riding beyond paved roads. That said, you will have to accept a few compromises in puncture resistance, weight and compliance. If you can live with that, you’ll get an impressive tire which offers plenty of confidence and a fun ride, while also feeling better about your environmental impact.
