I using 2,1 inches tyres for mtb, and i choose only with maximum low rolling resistance. Most time i am on road. But now i still on stock tyres. They now have low rolling resistance because protector is gone. I will use it until it is possible.
It depends on purpose. Racing is racing, and training is training. You don't need a race tire for training, and you wouldn't use a training tire for racing.
@@alastairstedman7840 my 5000 TL is almost worn out. Waned to order them once again but they are out of stock and new version 5000 S TR see to have less puncture protection, so don't know which tyres to buy. 5000 TL are great tyres !
This is a really good point that more people should consider. My friend laughed at me for riding Continental Gatorskins while he was riding GP4000. He stopped laughing after he had to carry his bike and ride back home on the bus, after riding over some loose gravel.
I've had these on my bike for a few months on some pretty crap roads and they have been excellent. I replaced a set of Conti GP5000s with these and these are way better. Nothing but sidewall splits in the 5000s and a few punctures. It's all well and good talking about rolling resistance but it don't mean shit when you're standing In the pissing rain for 20 minutes trying to fix a puncture. Once you have Victoria's you won't go back to Contis. Another thing about Contis I've found is that they are great for the first month, great speed, great traction...but beyond that first month they just bed in as regular old tyres and lose a lot of their initial plus points. Whereas these Victoria's have stayed exactly the same since I stuck them on. No fluctuations whatsoever in speed, traction, comfort.
I’ve been on Vittoria tires for over 20 plus years. For the last couple years on V Corsa 2.0 Graphene (clinchers) IMO They are hands down the best tires on the market. Safe but fast. Great control and longevity. I can’t imagine using another brand tire. 👍👍
Completely agree. I've gone through loads of different tyres over the years, Michelin, Goodyear, Contis and by far the ones I've had the less hassle with are Victoria's. I've got these on my bike right now having replaced some GP5000s (very good tyre) but these are way better. People get fixated on one name like 'Conti' and think they can't be beat but they can and are.
I've been riding the Vittoria Rubino Pro tires for quite some time, and I love them. For about $25 per tire, they're much less expensive than these racing grade tires, and let's face it, most of us are not racing our bikes. I've gone literally thousands of miles since my last flat, and that was due to the riders in the front of the group not calling out a huge pothole and several of us riding into it and flatting. Get yourself some Rubino Pros and enjoy the ride.
For real! I recently bought a set of Rubino Pro Control and they were amazing during the 3 rides I did with them. Only replaced them with the Corsa Control because the seller sent the Rubino's in 25c instead of 28c, and the lack of tan sidewalls...
Quality ass tires, I Agree, but the best budget clincher is the Conti Ultra Sport, BRR says they’re almost as fast as a GP5k and they have amazing descending grip in the dry and wet.
@@neelsahay3585 I see they’re about the same price I pay for the Vittorios, which is nice. Who is BRR? I’m sure I know who you’re talking about, but can’t place him from the initials.
@@neelsahay3585 HA! Too funny. Well when these current Vittorias have had their fun, maybe I'll grab a pair of the Contis and see how they roll. Thanks for the tip man!
I go for handling first and have used Vittoria "open tubular" Corsas for some years. They are 320 tpi and wonderfully supple and have lasted a lot longer than I expected. My most indestructible tires were recommended by my mechanic: Continental GP 4 Seasons and I have never had a puncture with any of them, although not always easy to put on the rim.
34mm: Nice!!! So far widest option had been 32mm afaik which I use in form of Conti GP5000. These have been very reliable and durable to me. Rear tire replaced after 7000km, front tire 10,000km and still running. Not a single puncture so far. So I am not sure if I would risk to try out something else with my next set based on marketing bla bla. 20% more means nothing if the reference generation was rubbish. But among the different tire width, I would definitely go with 34mm.
I’ve been using the Vittoria Corso tires now for many years. For me; handling and ride quality of these tires comes the closest to tubular tires. The ability to corner the bike like they’re on rails is a sensation I love!
@@stephencurry8552 I used to love them! They just ride so nice. It’s something you need to experience to appreciate. However, there are a few downsides to them(punctures, switching tires for season). The Vittoria Corso (320tpi cotton casing) comes very close to that ride(especially with latex tubes or the new “polly” tubes 35grams :-O). I still ride on a pair of Tubbies on my ‘85 Rossin. Cheers!
30mm Rubino Pro came on my new bike with tubeless setup. Now 7 months in, and I am very happy with them. Will consider the N.EXT when it is time to replace, but I definitely appreciate puncture resistance over speed and handling in dry AZ.
I switched from Conti 4000/5000 to 4Season, be it for group rides, +250km rides or triathlon races. Yes, they feel slower, they.even sound slower, but man, that peace of mind is priceless! Oh, and they are durable, too, and cheap compares to the "middle class" race tires.
There's no way I'd buy a new tyre based on the fact its puncture resistance was better than GP 5000. Early reports of poor puncture resistance in GP 5000 almost scuppered their launch and when I bought one for the front wheel of my bike because, well, whoever gets front wheel punctures? I got a puncture inside six months!
I've got Rubinos on one of my bikes. I've been told they're very dull, but the 32s feel great on my GT bike. But the 5000s TR are glorious - comfy in narrower widths than Vittoria for me. But of course, twice the price.
After having too many flats with Michelins, and sidewall separations with Continental's, I switched to Vittoria and couldn't be happier. What do I look for in a tire ? Reliability and confidence. Last thing you want on a 50+ mph downhill bomb run is squirrellyness and/or a blow out.
@@tedh.-.6442 I'm a heavier guy 220lbs, after having 2 sets of gp4000's separating they were just too dangerous for me. They were replaced under warranty. It seems tires are are a personal "what works best for an individual" thing. I need to try tubeless but I'm stuck on latex tubes, reliable/confidence thing.
@@thenotoriousrvh6091 I'm 48kg and I experienced sidewall splits with Ultrasport IIIs but no issue with Grandsport Race tires. Sadly a lot of Vittoria tires are too expensive for me so I haven't tried them out. Most I've done is 2km to the store on Vittoria Zaffiros but that's not enough to build an opinion off of.
Interesting. My GP4000 sidewalls simply eroded away after a season. No splitting but the sides looked severely frayed after a single summer and my inner tube found its way out and blew on me. Haven't lost hope, rocking GP5000 now, but I would no longer recommend Conti to others.
@@thenotoriousrvh6091 (same person as TEDH) I’m around 200lbs (93kg) sprinter and I’ve ridden them all year round with some gravel and they only wear out around 4-5000km
I was very satisfied with my Corsa N.Ext TLR 26 apart from the cracked rubber after a few thousand kilometres. They still ride well but I'm not confident with them on wet road.
The old vittoria's were like tubs, but cut up badly. The new ones no longer do this, have gained longevity and still (top ones, yet to try N ext) have a lovely ring (latex inner) and roll like a tub. Used Vittoria forever, except Clement tubs in the 70's (No1 and 3 silks best tyres ever for that road noise ring on TT's) Really impressed with their Speed tyre. The problem for me with other brands is the side walls being too hard and making the ride seem dead and wooden.
3 flats this season on my 5000's all road debris to the sidewall, my other bike has Corsa Control's 1 flat from a bit of wire that looks like a strand of brake cable
Ride quality is top priority for me. That's why I use tubeless instead of clincher despite there's the hassle of cleaning the old tubeless sealent inside the rim.
@@gaza4543 This is not my case. I am a lightweight rider. I used Vittoria Corsa 28C with latex tube before switching to Pirelli P Zero Race TLR. The Pirelli tubeless tyres have better ride quality since they have lower minimum tyre pressure.
I use the clincher versions and I say there on a par speed wise with gp5000 clinchers maybe a little faster due to fact there more compliant to the road surface and surpasse in other areas comfort and grip being right there. There also more areo I feel as the 28c adheres far closer to the 105 rule on my rims 23 internal and 32 external front 30 rear. They come up at 29mm on the dot @70psi

That sounds horrible. Gatorskins are probably the worst tyres I’ve ever tried. Poor grip, particularly in the wet. More punctures than I’ve had on GP5000s and at 100psi a very rough ride. Give tubeless a go if you can.
I use 23C tires, mostly Conti. My sidewalls wear out faster than the "puncture proof" part of the tire. I wonder, does Vittoria know how to make sidewalls more durable?
Hearing about the QR code may seem inconsequential, but really this is huge. All that information on the tire's sidewall is completely inaccessible for us blind folks, so being able to scan the QR makes this information accessible. Chalk up one win for Universal Design advocates.
1300 km that's nothing, you sure? I get 6000km depending on the road surface with more expensive supposedly more delicate rubber. that would make your tyers not such a great buy if that's the case.
We all skip the previd marketing adverts then get comfy for the 10, 20 or even 30 min adverts. I always laugh when you say whatever company have sent you their data as if they had no involvement in the collaboration 😆
I’m thinking that this is Vittoria’s answer to their Corsa Control? I used to race the Control on fondo-style events that would have a section of gravel or two, but over the last couple of years it seemed that the quality tanked a bit. Love Corsa’s for race day and Rubino’s for winter training. If bicyclerollingresitance rates them faster than Rubino (slow AF), I’ll check ‘em out. I like gp5k’s & Turbo Cotten’s too. Walked away from ProOne’s after I got one with a manufacturing defect.
Corsa Cotton keeps being the preferred one for pro riders as Van Aert or Van Der Poel for north classics or Strade Bianche. Quality is always the same. This tyre is a different technology and is not intended for pro’s but for sure many pro’s will use them for training
Vittoria tyres seem crap these days. The evo cx 320tpi tubular seemed to last ages. The newer G2.0 seem to cut so easy and the corsa speed are good tyres but not durable enough.
I have a set of these in 28, tubeless. The max pressure of 72 psi is for hookless wheels. Hooked max is 95. I run them 75 rear and 72 front and I weigh 183 lb. Internal rim width of 21 mil. Anyway, I really like these and picked up a 2-pack with 80ml Vitoria sealant included for $65 usd each, or $130 for the pair, with free shipping. Great deal at that price.
Puncture resistance is key. I put Corsa G on a bike years ago and they got a flat about every third time I went out. Never again no matter what they claim. Not to mention these tyres are stupidly expensive. Using Pirelli Cinturatos across the fleet and these are proving a strong and good handling option.
I've tried Vittoria road tires and only used them about one week. The worst tire I ever used for cornering control and I punctured my 4th time out. What's funny to me is my friend bought a new Colnago about two months ago and he told me today the cord was showing already and coming from a dedicated Conti user he said he did not like the ride feel and control he experienced. He said that he usually gets a whole season from tires and that these tires wore out extremely fast. Rating the Vittoria brand from 1-10 I would give them a 2.
I've gone through 2 Corsa N.EXT rear tires in the last 4 months. I ride quite a lot, but I wouldn't personally consider these tires very durable from my experience. "Ultimate tire in durability!!" definitely not.
The comparison "data" is laughable. First and foremost - if you don't specify what you are comparing to, the whole thing is meaningless. And then, if your claimed improvements are within single digit (ex "9% faster") but then have an "Aligned" metric with a margin of ±10%, your new tire may not even be faster! :D
@@discbrakefan It's an insult to the intelligence of cyclists to see marketing this nonsensical. Good marketing should make a strong case for the product. But maybe Vittoria actually understands their demographic perfectly.
@@stevemawer848 Can't say that "you only buy the bike once" since almost everyone is financing new di2/etap or a new gravel bike, etc. One would wonder about that theory when considering other wear items such as the chain, cassette, chainrings, bearings and cups, bar tape, wheels, pads, cables or batteries if you are Really cool, then replacing tires is a rather minimal cost of doing business... I think it's just an ad, and the marketing department invented a selling point, just my theory though...
Any review that reads like an advertisement I tend to take with a grain of salt. They don't mention how easy or hard the tire is to get on and off of a rim which is important for roadside repairs. I'd rather know that than that the tire comes in a recycled box. I'm sure its a good tire but c'mon guys. There isn't a single deficit with this tire?
These tires last for thousands upon thousands of miles. 10% price difference here and 10% longer lasting tread there, doesn't mean much once you amortize it over 100s of rides..."omg, 1cent/1penny or whatever saved in every other ride" means nothing for people that will end up paying $180 vs. $200 for a pair of performance tires... All this $ spend for developing, producing and advertizing these "new" tires, would probably be better spent on making the "reference" performance tire better or cheaper,, and the reference economy tire better or cheaper, vs. just increasing choices of half-cooked improvements on either way.
Anything has to be better than the garbage Conti has out. I've gone through 2 sets of STR 5000's. They puncture with easy. 67 Euros a pop and aren't even worth it. I ditch them and put Pirelli Cinturato on my C'dale System Six and Pinarello Prince. On the C'dale I have 5000km and not a single puncture. I just put these on my Pinarello now after all the Conti headaches. The Pirelli Cinturato's are bullet proof!
What do you look for when buying tyres?
Grip first, then speed, then durability.
A 650b option so I can actually fit it on my bike...

I used to race the Control on fondo-style events that would have a section of gravel or two, but over the last couple of years it seemed that the quality tanked a bit. Love Corsa’s for race day and Rubino’s for winter training. If bicyclerollingresitance rates them faster than Rubino (slow AF), I’ll check ‘em out. I like gp5k’s & Turbo Cotten’s too. Walked away from ProOne’s after I got one with a manufacturing defect.
Corsa Cotton keeps being the preferred one for pro riders as Van Aert or Van Der Poel for north classics or Strade Bianche. Quality is always the same.
This tyre is a different technology and is not intended for pro’s but for sure many pro’s will use them for training
I walked away from the Pro 1's too. First tire I bought fell apart. I won't be going back.
Vittoria tyres seem crap these days. The evo cx 320tpi tubular seemed to last ages. The newer G2.0 seem to cut so easy and the corsa speed are good tyres but not durable enough.
I have a set of these in 28, tubeless. The max pressure of 72 psi is for hookless wheels. Hooked max is 95.
I run them 75 rear and 72 front and I weigh 183 lb. Internal rim width of 21 mil.
Anyway, I really like these and picked up a 2-pack with 80ml Vitoria sealant included for $65 usd each, or $130 for the pair, with free shipping. Great deal at that price.
Where are the WAM tables?
So comparable to gp5000?
It says max psi but how low s save
Love the channel, but paid promotions mean I’ll wait for some independent reviews
Puncture resistance is key. I put Corsa G on a bike years ago and they got a flat about every third time I went out. Never again no matter what they claim. Not to mention these tyres are stupidly expensive. Using Pirelli Cinturatos across the fleet and these are proving a strong and good handling option.
I'm running inner tube 25c tyres, does that mean i'll have to go for 26c since there are no 25c available.
This is also my question; I’m on 25c too, so do we go for 24c or 26c option? look forward to your advice.
70 €, 100 TPI? U kiddin'?
Victoria's have been a problem for me I only buy GP 5000
I've tried Vittoria road tires and only used them about one week. The worst tire I ever used for cornering control and I punctured my 4th time out. What's funny to me is my friend bought a new Colnago about two months ago and he told me today the cord was showing already and coming from a dedicated Conti user he said he did not like the ride feel and control he experienced. He said that he usually gets a whole season from tires and that these tires wore out extremely fast. Rating the Vittoria brand from 1-10 I would give them a 2.
I've gone through 2 Corsa N.EXT rear tires in the last 4 months. I ride quite a lot, but I wouldn't personally consider these tires very durable from my experience. "Ultimate tire in durability!!" definitely not.
Grip , so you can out corner people running disc brakes 😁
So they're nothing like the performance tyre with exception of the tread pattern and outside rubber compound... 👍
No 650B option ?? ☹️
NIce but I still prefer my Continental Grand Prix 5000 tubeless.
I would love to see tyres that focus much more on rolling resistance. I don't need much grip.
Grip = safety, don’t write it off…
The comparison "data" is laughable. First and foremost - if you don't specify what you are comparing to, the whole thing is meaningless. And then, if your claimed improvements are within single digit (ex "9% faster") but then have an "Aligned" metric with a margin of ±10%, your new tire may not even be faster! :D
It’s a paid marketing video George.
Yeah I have no clue wtf a "normal" compound is.
@@discbrakefan It's an insult to the intelligence of cyclists to see marketing this nonsensical. Good marketing should make a strong case for the product. But maybe Vittoria actually understands their demographic perfectly.
@@discbrakefan Obviously. Although a very lousy one. Up there with the "199 watts at 45 km/h" from a couple of days ago...
@@GeorgeD1 These are brand marketing claims so take them with a grain of salt and move on. We all know this video isn’t a scientific test.
QR on my tyre. Now I can sleep easy. All that squinting banished forever.
Until the QR code inevitably wears off after a few rides & washes and you’re back to squinting and losing sleep!
@@discbrakefan omg. If that happens. I’ll start losing my hair again. One day tyre relief. Next back to tyre despair
Interesting that someone would be worried about affordability of their tires when a 105 bike with in-house components is well over three grand...
You only buy the bike once - tyres are ongoing consumable items.
@@stevemawer848 Can't say that "you only buy the bike once" since almost everyone is financing new di2/etap or a new gravel bike, etc.
One would wonder about that theory when considering other wear items such as the chain, cassette, chainrings, bearings and cups, bar tape, wheels, pads, cables or batteries if you are Really cool, then replacing tires is a rather minimal cost of doing business... I think it's just an ad, and the marketing department invented a selling point, just my theory though...
I'm just wondering how these compare to Conti gp5000. I'm betting more expensive and poorer performance
I've got Krakatoa Armageddon's on my Dennisneilson. They're brilliant,but they don't exist.
Any review that reads like an advertisement I tend to take with a grain of salt. They don't mention how easy or hard the tire is to get on and off of a rim which is important for roadside repairs. I'd rather know that than that the tire comes in a recycled box. I'm sure its a good tire but c'mon guys. There isn't a single deficit with this tire?
They are relatively easy to put on. But they can be very difficult to remove after several months with the sealant which sticks the beads.
Conor's bike is so loud I can barely hear him.
Wonder if the graphene in the tyres will link to the graphene in the jibbeejabs when you go near a 5G mast??
Nice more hookless compatible
Do they make a hookless version ??
yes 28c and above
A paid content review and no prize giveaway? 🤔
Great to see yet another company ignoring the existence of 650b road bikes...
Which tyre size do you use?
Gcn has zero credibility nowadays. These are just ads in my feed now and are treated as such, which is to say, ignored.
And yet you bothered to watch and comment? Not sure you understand the meaning of "ignored". 🙂
we compared our tires some tractor tires and they are mich better rolling.
Isn't that utterly useless?
No, it's marketing.
If it’s not semi puncture proof and gripy I’m not interested in wasting 8 mins of my life
These tires last for thousands upon thousands of miles. 10% price difference here and 10% longer lasting tread there, doesn't mean much once you amortize it over 100s of rides..."omg, 1cent/1penny or whatever saved in every other ride" means nothing for people that will end up paying $180 vs. $200 for a pair of performance tires...
All this $ spend for developing, producing and advertizing these "new" tires, would probably be better spent on making the "reference" performance tire better or cheaper,, and the reference economy tire better or cheaper, vs. just increasing choices of half-cooked improvements on either way.
Anything has to be better than the garbage Conti has out. I've gone through 2 sets of STR 5000's. They puncture with easy. 67 Euros a pop and aren't even worth it. I ditch them and put Pirelli Cinturato on my C'dale System Six and Pinarello Prince. On the C'dale I have 5000km and not a single puncture. I just put these on my Pinarello now after all the Conti headaches. The Pirelli Cinturato's are bullet proof!
Cinturato Velo?
@@muhammadfadliladhim9158 yeah,they’re great tires.
@@channul4887 I said,on 2021 Pinarello Prince and 2020 Cannondale System Six.
@@channul4887 No sorry.
Thought they were going to be genuinely good value- when I saw how much they are I stopped watching
wait a month or 2 you'll be able to get them pretty cheap, the tube version are already discounted on probike
Tanwall or GTFO
