Love the increased number of product reviews.
Sounds like an excellent tire! Will try in the future :)
I saw one of the Nero riders training when I was cycling in West head. He was tooooo quick so I couldn’t say hi lol.
Keep up with the good work and we look forward to more reviews and racing videos.
I had to decide between 2 tubless tyres: the new Schwalbe addix 2020 and the Vittoria Corsa G 2.0. Now, after your review, I go for the Vittoria tyres. Thank you!
Ugh, I want to love these tires. They are gorgeous in the tan sidewalls on my zipp 303’s and they feel absolutely amazing on the road. I had the previous version last summer in clincher and I also experienced quite a few punctures, too many for my comfort. It’s never fun to hold up your group on a Sunday morning while they impatiently watch you fumble around fixing your flat. I swore off Vittoria’s last year and mounted gp5k’s in the spring. Gp5k’s are great tires. But that’s where it stops for me - they’re just great. They’re like vanilla ice cream; predictable and reliable. You don’t have to think about them, they always get the job done. But - they’re not sexy like the Vittorias. I took off my perfectly good gp5ks and mounted up these new graphene 2.0 Corsa Control clinchers just recently. I’ve only done 2 rides but I have fallen back in love with Vittoria. And - no punctures, yet 🤞Anyway, I’ve been scouring the web looking for reviews on these new vittoria 2.0’s. You video has persuaded me. Thanks man! Great review. Cheers.
Hi Greg, how did you get on with the Corsa long term? Did they hold up against punctures?
What’s the update Greg!!!?
I’m back on continental gp5000’s. No more vittoria for me.
@@gregconroy7026 did you fall out of love again and go back to the vanilla ice cream? DANG!
@@gregconroy7026 What happened in the end? A lot of punctures? How many "good" km did you get?
Great review Chris, I've run the tubular version(Vittoria Corsa 25m) for the last 3yrs. mostly for racing only with a few club races with no punctures! Having ridden and raced for 37yrs. they are the best tubular I have ever ridden maybe wear out a bit quick but thats to be expected (1300k)! Then I just got the new Vittoria Corsa this yr. in a 28m and hands down the best tire I have ever ridden(Tubular) I run them at 80psi incredible feel for the road so much I'm using them to train as well so far I have 700k with really no sign of tread wear! In the past 6 years I have trained on Gatorskins with great success 3 flats over that period no punctures all were slashes, I have probably jinked myself saying this!
I had hoped and was excited about the same but my experience is that these 2.0 tubular tyres feels slower and heavier on the road. Not sure why but they consistently perform abiut 3-3.5km/h slower than my other clincher wheel tyres.
I found your channel a few years back looking for reviews on the Noah....Happy to say I just purchased one finally after 2 years cant wait to built it!
Quality bike mate ... have you thought about a Bianchi though 😂
@@ChrisMillerCycling I have actually but my wife would never allow that color in her house
Awesome review, thank you!
I have the corsa have done around 700 miles and no problems yes you cannot discount the random items in the road that would get in the gp5k. The mounting I agree the last inch is hard but they roll really smooth and good water displacement. I bought the corsa speed version is fast but are race oriented they don’t grip on water at all.
Love them, very supple and great looking.......but, oh so hard to fit to Giant SLR0 carbon clinchers. Nearly broke both thumbs. Hate to think about road side repair, it might be phone an uber
I've got 4500km on a set of original Corsa G+ 28mm with 1 flat. Riding anything including gravel sectors. The rubber is much less cut in comparison with the old Pave models. I expect et least 6k km on them considering their current condition. Latex tubes, 85 kg rider. 4-5 bar pressure
Hey man! You guys in the Philippines already? Hope to see you for the meet and greet in June! From one Bianchi bike owner to another, Cheers!
Hi Pao, no not until early June. Will great to see your when we get over there
Was a bit worried that you wouldn't be honest on this one, but it actually was an honest review...
Now about tyres, or tires lol... my own review...
-Specialized Turbo S-Works *****
Excellent, very descent puncture, fabulous feel, good protection, but lasts around 4000k
-GP 5000 ***
Still in review phase, but the feel is not all good, AND have had 3 punctures in 2-months! CRAZY I KNOW, The kilometers not yet known...(may be I don't want to know lol) Maybe just got a bad pair?!
Still, the Specialized Turbo S-Works is tops...
Funny Note; I have seen so many riders with, bikes of known brand big name companies that actually don't buy Specialized tyres because it doesn't go with there name brand bike!!
I mean, it's silly not to use a good tyre JUST because your bike is not a Specialized bike???!!!!!
But then again, must understand and respect (the importance of looks) lol
We roadies need to have everything perfect, looks, feel etc... especially the ones who put in lots of kilometers every other day...
Hey Lefty, cheers for the great comment. Seriously rate the Turbo S-Works performance, possibly a little harsher ride then the GP's and Corsa's, but only minimal. I think the main reason I don't buy them is the fact you pretty much have to go to a Specialized branded store to get them, thus discounts or multi-buy deals are hard to get. Speaking of Specialized, I do run the Specialized AirTool mini-pump (mini-pump/CO2) and it is seriously the best CO2 and pump on the market.
I gave these a shot through summer this year. In short far better than the first gen. I won't buy them again though. They are nice to ride on but I had a sense of unease the entire time while riding after the rear one punctured 3 times in the first two weeks.
Also, never had such a battle getting a pair of tubeless tyres to seat. I ended up taking a costly train journey to a bike shop where it took the guy 3 hours. (yes my rims were tubeless )
I’ve these in the Speed version and they’re commonly known for flatting and here in Perth WA no flats yet and super fast tyres 👌🏻
The speed tyre is designed for TT use so probably won’t be durable for general riding...
Yeah the speed version is for velodrome not for the streets
I ran them for well over 2000kms and never had a flat on our local roads so not just for indoors or TT one just needs to look where they’re going perhaps and dodge crap on the road 🙌🏻
Es la mejor, excelente calidad
Hey Chris.. any tips on how to set up the Pro Stealth saddle?
Hey man, if you are trying to mimic your position from an old saddle, find the spot on the Pro that measures 10cm across and use that as your starting point. No point using the nose of the PRO saddle as a comparison as they are very different to traditional ones. Let me know how you get on.
Where is the wear indicator on these tyres?
I’ve been running the 28c versions of these for the past 6 weeks. Very happy with them. That first ride is impressively grippy. Now I don’t even think about them. No flats. Yet. But I do agree with the “once you get one flat, the tyres are toast” Vittoria experience. It’s true. Time will tell about these. I highly recommend them
the ride quality is sooooo worth it imo, I've gone through several brands and always come back to vittoria
@@hardleesoft5919 I agree. Although I do love the S-Works Turbo Cotton... but so many punctures.
adam sims any flats yet with these tires??
How they holding up? Looking to get the same size
Big D I’ve only got flats once they have already started to run thin. Had 3 sets now. Most recently the non gun wall versions. Beautiful tyre.
Thanks Chris, I bought a pair for my Specialissima, the bike has been beating me up on longer rides with other tyres, until I fitted these! Similar experience to yourself so far, I tried running low pressures for comfort as I only weigh 54kg, but the tyres don’t like to be run low, raising them to 105 psi front and 110psi rear made a huge difference to the performance and are still comfortable, oh and I’m using Michelin aircomp Latex tubes too, the best tyres I have ever ridden on by far, haven’t done enough miles to see how they hold up to real world damage but if I get a season out of them then I’m happy, rode some rough roads in the tour of the Peak last weekend and no punctures and no cuts, to be honest they feel so good I think I will still buy them again even if they do cut up!
54KG?!?!?!?! You wanna ride Tour Of Tassie this year 😂... haha, thanks for the comment Mark and the info. I must admit I haven't pumped a tyre up to 110psi in about 5 years, but maybe I should give it a go. I'll see if Robbie Matthews or Angus can bob in here with a comment about their Specialiisma experience at that pressure.
Thanks Chris, great channel btw, I do like climbing, looking to do an Everesting challenge in the next 4 weeks 😮.
I found an online Vittoria tyre pressure recommendation where you enter your weight and tyre size and tpi count etc, they advised even more pressure for my weight, yet every other tyre I ride I would run at around 80psi, not sure why the Corsa needs to be so high?
@@Bikes-guitars Hey mate, I was running the Corsas as my race tyres for the previous two seasons and found that for TP it usually depended on the surface that I was racing on. For places like Eastern Creek (a motorsport track that is completely smooth), I would go up to 100-105 psi whereas when I was over in Belgium and racing over some really crap roads I would go down to 70-80 psi. They do start to cut up after about a certain amount of kms but this wasn't too much of an issue for me as I wasn't using them day in day out... (I weighed about 60kg back then)
I'm about 80kg and I run them at the same pressure with one of their latex inner tubes (down from my 'old school ways' of pumping a setup like this to 140 front and 145 rear!!).
After about 1K miles the rear tire is starting to get that flat tread wear down the middle, but they have been flawless otherwise (NO punctures, and the shoulders I must ride on have ALL KINDS of; sharp stones, fallen wood/tree debris, broken glass from peckerwoods throwing out their beer bottles, and other shrapnel all over them!).
I don't care if the 'sacred go-to' Contis last 20X as long, and don't flat even ONCE in that time frame, I would not give up this ride, suppleness, response, or sound for them! 😉
Best tires.
Dude, I've bought those tires and they were such a pain in the ass to mount ! I never had so much trouble to mount a tire before. I've mounted them on DT swiss arc 1100 dicut db and now I just pray for them not to puncture too far away from home because I'm not sure I'll be abble to fix it.
That’s interring mate. Are you sure you are not mounting the tubeless versions? I hear they are hard to get on
@@ChrisMillerCycling Man, you just made me have doubts ! I just checked and no, they are the clincher version. I'll see how it goes the next time I'll have to put them off the rims.
Put tubeless sealant in the inner tube, no more flats
Matthias GUTHARDT these feel like they’re going to snap my fingers off...they’re awful to mount! Although they’re like butter to ride on. Tough one
The main reason why I'm using these is because my team has some nice deals on these. I can get a corsa tire for 30 USD and 20 USD for a rubino.
Graphine?
Are you using latex on them? Nice video 👍🏼
Chris, Love the channel.....keep up the great work. Have to totally disagree with you on this one though. I've used these and the previous incarnation and can say with the utmost confidence, NEVER again! Soooooo many punctures and whilst grip and suppleness were fantastic they just don't last!!!! I've now gone to Pirelli and haven't looked back.
Hey Glenn, cheers for the comment. Have to say I was very skeptical of these after feeling like I was burning cash on the 1.0's. So far, it's been a vast improvement, though I wonder whether our lack of rain has something to do with it.
I do stand by my tubulars comments though, seriously so good.
I just bought GP 5000. I wanted Vittorias but they are too expensive now. Maybe next time.
Thanks to your video, I might buy a set of those and give it a try. I always wanted to buy those because they look so cool (with para sidewalls) but I was afraid of punctures. We'll see in the next few months how they go.
how were the punctureS?
@@JackChickenwing well I've bought a second set of these tires and I'm pretty happy with their puncture resistance. I had one puncture at my very first ride but to me it was more the ultralight tube's fault. I've bought regular tubes and I didn't get another puncture on this set in 4500 kms.
On my new set, once again, I had a puncture on my second ride but it was during a race and the weather was awful !! It was pouring rain and when those tires are still new, they tend to pick up every little sharp stone when the road is wet. So it wasn't a surprise.
I'll keep using these tires, no question about it !
@@Thiaspeed how about now?
@@czagazeta I'm still using these tires and I have no complains.
I might try the pirellis or the schwalbe in the future but I really like my corsas.
@@Thiaspeed how about now? Lol
Not had one puncture on these, back tyre almost worn out. That’s a first for me.
I love my Corsa tubs too. Just noticed the vision one piece blahs, have gone.
yep David, I will chat about that soon. Main reason was actually VLOG related, just couldn't find neat enough solutions for the bike camera, computers and lights. Going back to a normal bar and stem has just made it much easier.
Chris Miller Cycling looking forward to the VLOG. oh and if you want some wet weather miles come try the original Old North Wales, you’ll love the hills too
HAHA!! Did some touring around Snowdonia when I was living in IRE. That's the last time I only take shorts to Wales in April ❄️😳
How do these tires compare to the gp5000.?
Too be honest Robert, I have preferred the gp5000. They see, to roll a little faster on the roads I ride and the puncture protection is outstanding.
@@ChrisMillerCycling thanks mate😁
Such well produced videos, well presented too! But oh.....the spelling!!!
Yeh not my finest hour with that. You would have thought I'd get it right after literally spending a whole day filming the word GRAPHENE on the tyre.
Can you recommend a really free rolling 26 by 195 or 2inch road tyre but for a E bike carrying lots of shit a touring bike, i hate putting in touring bike because I feel people just want to recommend puncture resistance, and sure we all want that but not at the expense of loosing so many miles of my batteries thanks .
I have to say they look damn amazing on a black bike with deep dish carbon rims.
I found it quite tacky / grip out of the box
Supremely fast if you're going around about 33 and above kilometres per hour average at best under 30 k's an hour
Oooooh. What’s the news!
Moosh is making his NRS comeback ...😊
Fast but don't last. I was able to get only 500 miles on these tires. 4 Flats in 1.5 months. I would use them for a single race, but not for training or casual riding. I would give them 3 out 5 stars
I noticed every video video you uploaded contain at least a typo.
It's gotten to a point where I believe it's your hidden talent, to be committing to typos 😂
Typpo™️ ... 😂
Contains*
My bike shop recommended me Vittoria. Expensive and I had a flat after 2 weeks.😢
It's pissing down here in the Tweed. Jump on a plane to Cooly, I'll pick you up, loan you a bike, Bianchi, of course, wet weather test awaits.
Haha!!! Great to hear you are getting some rain ... think I might stick to the DMT wet weather tests though ☺☺
@@ChrisMillerCycling I reckon all bike tyres are fine in the wet actually. The riskiest time is when there has been a dry spell and the first raindrops fall and the diesel haze gets just a bit wet, makes a dangerous lubricant regardless of what vehicle or tyre you are running. We always see a burst of trauma in Emergency when that happens, and I've had a couple of close calls on roundabouts, especially in regional towns where everyone drives a diesel. Roadies don't really lean much compared to motor-bikes, even on steep descents or tight corners, and I think the carry over from that tech, esp with companies like Michelin and Pirelli has to ensure good wet weather performance. Like all tyres, it comes down to the balance between grip and wear rates. Slicks will always suffer for d\grip in the wet, but roadies don't really go fast enough for the relevant water displacement dynamics to play a huge role. They started adding a bit of silica to motor-bike tyres in the late 90's, took a smidge of dry grip away and added a lot of wet grip. I'm sure they use that info when formulating cycle tyres. I got fed up with flats ages ago, and went tubeless on the front, with great results.
I am running a training tubular on the back presently, but am interested in graphEne tyres and will surely try these next time I need to buy a clincher.
Hi if you buy cheap tires you will get flat's all day long.
Tires; I only ride high quality tubulars, if they do not have at least 250 Tpi i will not put my ass on the saddle
So when these tires came out,i bought them.They do not gave you the comfort of a high quality tubular,but close.
They are ok for all day riding.
To me there plusher on rough roads and tubulars even more so
The Rubino is meant to be really good
Hey Troy, don't get me wrong, I really rate this tyre ... but I think like so many other people we are all so scarred by the Corsa 1.0's it's a hard sell.
Chris Miller Cycling would you say they are more of a racing tyre than a training tyre?
Buzzword 2.0. My tires don't need to be conductive tbqh. That being said, I have the Rubino Pro Graphene 2.0 and have around 900 miles on them in the past 3 months with zero flats.
Graphene, not graphine
Dude, spelling, doh !!!
☹ I know ... is it a real word though 🤔
@@ChrisMillerCycling yes. 😂
@@ChrisMillerCycling Yup, and you showed a lovely close shot of GraphEne printed clearly on the tyre. Sorry, I'm old school, things like this bug me. TBF, I was raised to be precise in language, to the point where I can make Sheldon look sloppy.
But you said “yup”. Can’t be too precise in language.
@@danemurray200 Conversation is different to that typo. I said "dude" too, but I said it precisely ! 'wink'
