The most sought-after clincher tire in the high-end marketplace comes in a smart, new configuration. It's Vittoria's legendary Open Corsa Evo CX, now available in the slightly-wider-width of 25c. As many folks know, 25's give you a smoother ride, better traction & cornering, and superior longevity, but they do so without meaningfully adding rolling resistance or weight in comparison to the "standard" width of 23c. It's added comfort and performance with no apparent downsides.

The Open Corsa is made with a 320 TPI Corespun K casing made from alternating Polycotton and Kevlar threads. More TPI means a more supple ride, no matter what PSI you prefer. Vittoria's Compressed Wrap makes use of the highest grade of Corespun casing cord and rubber compounds, resulting in a casing that allows the Polycotton and Kevlar threads to act independently, which reduces surface deflection and rolling resistance while maximizing puncture resistance.

The classic herringbone tread pattern on the Vittoria Open Corsa CX gives it an ideal combination of traction and rolling resistance, which is likely the reason that this our our best selling Vittoria tire. It's built with Twin Tread Technology where harder tread is placed in the center of the tire where the wear occurs, and a softer compound is used on the shoulder for better grip. A thin, lightweight PRB puncture resistant belt is placed immediately beneath the tread to provide maximum puncture protection while maintaining low rolling resistance. And the tread is built with a silica enhanced Kevlar Carbon 3D SiO2 compound to give their tires longer wear life and supreme grip. 210g.
