Vittoria

Corsa Speed G2.0 Tubular Tire

Graphene G+ Isotech is a proprietary material developed by Vittoria that combines graphene's exceptional strength and lightweight properties with enhanced performance features. The "G+" version reduces rolling resistance, which means less energy is lost as the tire rolls, and it increases grip on various surfaces. This results in a smoother ride and better handling, making it ideal for competitive cycling.

Corespun T Casing refers to a specialized construction method where a strong thread is spun around a core, creating a lightweight yet durable tire casing. The "T" indicates that this tire is designed for tubular rims, which enhances its suppleness and responsiveness. This construction allows for better performance, especially in racing scenarios, as it provides improved handling and comfort.

TPI, or Threads Per Inch, measures the density of the tire's casing. A higher TPI, like the 320 found in this tire, means a finer, more tightly woven casing, which contributes to a lighter and more supple tire. This can enhance your cycling experience by providing better traction, comfort, and overall performance, particularly in competitive settings.

The recommended PSI range for these tires is between 115-200 pounds per square inch. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for optimal performance, as it affects rolling resistance, grip, and handling. A higher PSI can reduce rolling resistance for faster speeds, but it's important to find a balance to ensure a comfortable ride without sacrificing control.

Tubular construction involves creating a complete, sealed tire that is glued onto a rim, unlike traditional clincher tires that use a separate inner tube. This design results in a lighter tire with lower rolling resistance, making it a preferred choice for professional cyclists. Tubular tires also offer better aerodynamics and can provide improved performance in racing conditions, especially during time trials.

While these tires are designed with racing in mind, their advanced materials and construction can also enhance everyday cycling performance. However, they may not be the best choice for casual riders or those who frequently encounter rough terrain, as they are optimized for speed and efficiency. If you're looking for a competitive edge or plan to participate in races, these tires are an excellent choice.
