VittoriaCorsa G2.0 Tire - Clincher
Item # VIT005C
Corsa G2.0 Tire
As a top choice for Vittoria's professional riders, the Corsa has seen wins at the Tour de Frace, the Giro d'Italia, numerous Spring Classics, a number of World and European Championships, and the list goes on. The new Corsa G2.0 Tire builds on that winning pedigree, but features a revised Graphene 2.0 compound that functionalizes Graphene's performance advancements into more specific applications. In the case of the Corsa G2.0, the targeted improvement is to lower rolling resistance, without sacrificing durability. The tire retains Vittoria's 320 TPI Corespun-K casing that closely conforms to the road's surface, providing you with the supple ride quality Vittoria tires are known for.
Vittoria's exclusive extruding machine allows them to mix 4 compounds into a single tread, and then fortify it with Graphene 2.0. This allows Vittoria to fine-tune the flex of the tread-base and tread-surface separately, placing the correct durometer Graphene 2.0 compound exactly where it's needed for maximum grip, rolling speed, cornering control, and wear life. Vittoria claims that Graphene 2.0 significantly reduces rolling resistance, while at the same time increasing abrasion-resistance, making this tire both faster and more resistant to flats than the previous Corsa G Plus.
- The winning Corsa road tire sees an updated Graphene compound
- 4C tread compound optimizes grip, rolling speed, & wear life
- Graphene 2.0 reduces rolling resistance and boosts durability
- 320 TPI core spun casing conforms to the road for a supple ride
- Available in black or classic gumwall colorways

Potential solution to flats and cuts
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:
- True to size
I have long been an advocate for "aging" tires since I learned about it from the Czech and Russian National Teams in the 1970's. I had also forgotten about it until I started noticing that my flat tire experience with these was consistently worse if I put them on right after receiving a shipment than if I put them on 3-6 months later. I have now gone through almost 30 pairs of these tires and the pattern is hlding: The newer the tire the more little cuts I get from glass and other sharp objects. Older tires are a tiny bit less supple, but far less prone to the little cuts. Most flats are caused by glass staying stuck in the cut and slowly wearing its way through the graphene.

Supple Tires
Best tires I’ve ever used. They were tough to get on the first time. Handle corners nicely.

I started shopping for new tires when I could no longer get my size 20 Continentals. I actually bought the Corsa G because of the statements people made about the tire running small. I had my shop put them on the first week of November. It is now the middle of March, and I have not yet had one flat. Granted, I do ride indoors more during the winter, and I was off the bike for two and a half weeks to recover from a surgery, but that still puts about four months of miles on my first pair. This adds up to about 4000 miles. The ride is comfortable and smooth. I liked the ride so much that I bought another set. Those two tires are in my closet ready to go when my current set wears out! These are really nice! I am female, so I weigh less than some of the guys reviewing. I'm not sure if weight makes a difference.

I absolutely love these tires. They grip well in the dry as well as the wet. They have an incredibly supple ride and I get fairly good wear out of them; though I'm a bit on the smaller side. I tend to get a seasons worth of wear (about 5,000 miles) out of them, on my go-to bike. I see some other people have made comments about poor wear or punctures, but that is something I simply haven't experienced in the 3 sets I have used in various widths. Lately, I've been using these tires with Tubolito tubes and I have started balancing my wheels with lead golf club tape. My Tarmac S-Works SL5 rolls like a freight train on the flats, rips through corners, and descends more confidently. I don't see myself using another tire for quite sometime. I've never taken a caliper to check the width, but I would say they run close to size. Maybe negligibly smaller.

Two flats on first two rides. One cut the rear tire. I have been using Continental 5000’s and had only experienced two flats in over 2000 miles. Decided to try these Vittoria G2s! Major mistake! Switching back to Continentals. Don’t waist your money! Spend your time riding not fixing flats!

Super fast rolling tire. Extremely supple. Amazing road feel. Competition use only. 3-stars because you won't get more than 200mi out of these without getting a puncture. Try the Corsa Control 2.0's instead, similar ride characteristics but built to last many more miles.

700x28 on my BMC Alpinechallenge 01 two. 600 miles logged. The tire is a wee bit smaller than the 28 mm designation, I'd call them 27 mm... Great ride, clearly a fast , low rolling resistance tire. They are tight and require a bit of skill to install on a Mavic Tubeless Kysrium rim. Installed easier on the DT Swiss 522b rear rim. I am running tubes.

Amongst all of the negative comments, it's good to see one decent comment. One thing's clear... and that is, this tire runs small. Thanks for the feedback.

Great tire. Durable and supple. It feels much better than the Conti's. My bike rides much better and the tires descend better when cornering switchbacks on descents. Best tire!

Built up my "new to me" DeRosa Neo Primata with a set of Mercury S5's. Once I threw on the tires, it really classed up the bike. Performance wise, they are nice and supple and provide a really nice riding experience.

I didn't intend to go road tubeless but when I ordered these, they were the tubeless ready versions, and I've got Bontrager tubeless wheels- so I quickly gave them a try. They feel amazing compared to tubed Rubinos, but so fragile. I got a small puncture on my 2nd ride on the rear, it sealed up before I noticed my frame spattered with sealant. I pumped it up 3 miles from home. A few weeks later, these tires are having trouble staying inflated for a few hours and will deflate completely overnight. Sealant is bubbling out of a million tiny holes in the gumwalls. I've had some porous gravel tires but this is another story!

3 rear flats in under 1400 mi but nice

Maybe 3.5 stars? I like the look and feel of these, but still a bit flat prone even though improved over previous incarnations. First flat was glass I think, 2nd a staple. 3rd, not sure, some fine needles or glass starting to penetrate barrier strip. Love the ride though. And way better than corsa III..This area does chew up tires and I tend to destroy them before I wear them out unless I'm lucky.

Can these be set up tubeless?

No. There is a tubeless version called the Corsa Speed, but it is very much a race day only tire in terms of durability.

Love this design
I love the color and design of this tire, the first one I bought I had the bad fortune that a nail would pierce it in just one ride I hope now I have more luck.

Ditto on your description of the gumwall tires. To cyclists who are not informed (e.g., ignorant), Victtoria fixed the puncture issues of these tires several years ago. No other clincher tire rolls and handles like a Victtoria Corsa. That's why Victtorias are the top tire of road professionals!

I bought a pair of these (gumwall), and neither myself nor my local bike shop - with 3 experienced technicians trying - could mount them on my DT Swiss PRC 1400 Spline 65's. Any mounting suggestions?? I really want to ride these!

Hey Dustin, I'd say if 3 experienced techs couldn't get the tire on then they probably won't mount to your wheels. One tip is to make sure the bead is in the center channel then grab the tire on both sides of the wheel and push it down towards the side that hasn't been installed yet. Some tires don't cooperate with certain rims. If you'd like we can get those tires exchanged.

Excellent cornering and noticed very significant increase in stability at speeds over 20mph as compared to my decade use of Verdesteins which wore like iron along with getting flats as well. The Graphene-2 is my new go to tire. In fact I bought a second set after my only flat was associated with a fishook through the sidewall. The price you pay for performance. Thank you Casey!
