Fast, compliant, grippy tyres that feel great. My experience with tubeless has not been straightforward so far having had a lot of trouble seating them correctly, but I can’t mark them down for that. A good tip when using these tyres is to keep the grooves clean, small sharp bits of flint love them and will cause punctures if not removed. The sound from these changes with lean angle, making it them extremely satisfying to corner with... the sidewalls deteriorate before the tread in terms of durability I find.

Having converted to the Vittoria graphene range initially with the Corsa G+ when it came to winter tyres I naturally gravitated towards these as although other brands have been good I found them to only last a short period. Having had these on for a short period I have been really impressed as to how they roll on the flats, but stick in the corners on our horrendous UK cat litter roads. Having been down lanes and ridden all the delights of the Chiltern Hills these boots are outstanding and chapeau once again to the boys and girls of Vittoria. Grippy when wet, rolls fast and although a tight fit for tubeless you do not have to be the Incredible Hulk or MacGyver to put them on.
