What technology does it use in its construction?
Vittoria's Corsa N.EXT is available in a range of widths to suit your bike and application, with Tube Only and Tubeless Ready Bead options on offer, equipped with a 2C Graphene and Silica Compound which boasts increased speed, rolling efficiency, grip and protection performance characteristics. Paired with their Nylon 100 TPI Casing featuring a 2 ply construction to the side walls and an additional layer to the crown of the tyre, in partnership with a puncture protection belt. This combination of technology provides a more durable tyre without the loss of suppleness, at an attractive more accessible price point. For TSS Hookless rims, only the TLR versions in 28c upwards are compatible.
What is the intended use?
Optimised for extensive everyday use, the Corsa N.EXT sits below its brothers, the Speed, Corsa and Corsa Control, forming the new competition line. Aimed to bridge the gap between advanced and pro competition categories without sacrificing any of the Corsa's key characteristics. With the same proven tread design, used by Vittoria's team in the World Tour, the directional grooves and progressive spacing of the N.EXT excels on paved surfaces in a mixture of weathers, while the new Graphene + Silica compound delivers predictable grip and speed and control.
Our verdict
A fantastic new road tyre on offer from Vittoria, retaining all of the Corsa's fundamental attributes at a more accessible price point, for the cyclist enthusiast demanding pro level control, grip and speed, whilst boasting durability and longevity without the loss of road feel and communication.
