Graphene is a synthetic material 200 times stronger than steel and six times lighter, which Vittoria s been incorporating into its tyres since 2016 to simultaneously improve puncture resistance, grip and durability. Version 2.0, which has been standard across the range since 2019, further enhances performance compared to the first generation. In practice, customers report impressive cornering stability and no punctures over thousands of kilometres with the Corsa Control Graphene 2.0.. Graphene also improves heat resistance and the tyre’s overall performance. This is the technology that sets Vittoria apart across its entire range.
Yes, customers regularly report that fitting the Corsa TLR Vittoria tyre is difficult, particularly on carbon rims such as the Mavic Cosmic SL or Vision. Several reviews mention that it is impossible to seat the tyre without a pump, and one customer reports being unable to refit their tyre after removing it for a wheel service. In contrast, the tubetype version of the Vittoria (with an inner tube) is described as easy to fit, even with a little soap. If you’re fitting a tubeless tyre, make sure you have a compressor or a special tubeless pump to hand, and check that your rim is compatible (rim flange diameter, profile).
The Rubino Pro Graphene 2.0 has an excellent lifespan for a training tyre: customers report intensive use in competition and training over several thousand kilometres without a puncture. Vittoria positions this tyre as an all-season, all-conditions tyre, with its four-layer compound and enhanced puncture resistance. One drawback noted: some customers report cracking on the sidewalls after a few months’ winter storage if the tyre is stored without being cleaned. Vittoria recommends cleaning the tread after each use and storing the tyre in a dry place. This issue may be a deal-breaker if you cycle seasonally.
The Corsa Speed is the fastest tyre in the Vittoria range, designed for competition on dry terrain. Weighing 240 g in 700x25 and featuring a compound optimised for rolling efficiency, it is suitable for use in cyclosportives on key stages. However, its very thin rubber compound makes it less durable than the Corsa Control or the Rubino Pro: it is not suitable for daily training on rough roads. Its grip on wet roads is inferior to that of more durable models. For everyday cyclosportive use in all conditions, the Corsa Control Graphene 2.0 is more suitable.
Yes, the Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer is specifically designed to dissipate the heat generated by the rollers. Its rubber compound and tread pattern are engineered for use on a home trainer only: when fitted to the rear tyre, it can withstand thousands of kilometres without any noticeable wear. Customers report having used the same tyre for over 2 years and 4,000 km whilst it remained in good condition. Its red colour and 26 TPI casing distinguish it from road tyres. It must not be used on the road as its rubber compound is not suitable for tarmac and its external grip is insufficient. Not to be confused with the Zaffiro Pro Graphene 2.0 for road use.
Customers have reported cracking on the sidewalls and tread separation on the Corsa Graphene 2.0 TLR tyres following winter storage. Vittoria attributes this problem to unsuitable storage conditions or a lack of prior cleaning. To prevent this, it is recommended that tyres be cleaned after every ride in muddy or wet conditions and stored at room temperature, with no pressure on the tyre if possible. This recall has caused considerable disappointment amongst some customers who were unable to claim under their warranty. Tubetype models (with inner tubes) appear to be less prone to this problem.
In the tubetype version (with an inner tube), Corsa Vittoria are described as easy to fit, sometimes even by hand, in contrast to the reputation of the GP5000 Continental, which are known to be difficult to fit. On Fulcrum Racing rims, fitting is generally carried out without tools. In the tubeless-ready (TLR) version, fitting is significantly more difficult and depends heavily on the rim. One customer has reported that TLR fitting is impossible on Metron 40SL Vision and Capital 1.0. In summary: choose the tubetype version if you do not have a pump or if your rims are not tubeless-ready.
The Corsa Control is designed for all-season use with maximum puncture resistance thanks to its multi-layered Graphene 2.0 compound, whilst the Corsa Speed is optimised for pure performance in dry conditions. The Control is recommended for cyclosportifs who want the performance of the Corsa with increased durability for training and mixed conditions. The Speed is reserved for competition or key events on dry roads. Customers who have switched from GP5000s Continental to the Corsa Control report impressive cornering grip and satisfactory durability. The Control is the most versatile model in the Corsa range.
Reviews of the Zaffiro Pro Graphene 2.0’s performance in wet conditions are mixed: one customer clearly states that this tyre offers no grip at all in the rain. On the other hand, other customers recommend it for training or cyclosportive use on dry or slightly damp roads, noting its good durability thanks to its 60 TPI nylon casing. Cracking of the sidewalls may occur after 1,500 km if the tyre is stored without proper care. For all-season use, including in the rain, the Rubino Pro Control or the Corsa Control will be more suitable. The Zaffiro Pro remains excellent value for money for summer training.
Yes, Vittoria offers gravel models featuring its Graphene 2.0 technology, notably the Terreno range and the Corsa N.EXT. The Corsa N.EXT Graphene TLR in 700x28 to 34 mm is recommended for mixed use on fast roads and light trails, offering enhanced comfort thanks to its wider profile. Customers using this tyre in 700x28 report that it is very comfortable without compromising on speed. The Terreno range is designed for more off-road use, with tread patterns suited to this purpose. For intensive gravel riding on technical trails, it is advisable to opt for tyres with a more aggressive tread pattern, such as those found at Hutchinson or Schwalbe.
