Vittoria’s best-selling road tire, Corsa, is now available in two versions designed to meet different riding needs.
Cyclists are not all the same. Some ride mainly for leisure and training, while others chase competition and performance. Some prefer bicycles and components with a good quality-to-price ratio, while others make no compromises and choose high-end equipment – the same used by World Tour professionals.
When it comes to road tires, priorities also vary: some riders look primarily for puncture resistance and durability, while others focus on low rolling resistance, light weight, and comfort. Based on these considerations, Vittoria has two distinct models in its road range – Corsa N.EXT and Corsa PRO. Similar in spirit but designed for different riding styles. Let’s take a closer look at their features and intended use.
Corsa N.EXT: Racing-inspired performance with the everyday durability of nylon
Corsa N.EXT is dedicated to passionate cyclists who take on long, demanding weekly rides and expect their equipment to keep up with their effort. Speed is essential – who doesn’t want it? – but never at the expense of durability and puncture protection. To achieve this, Vittoria started from the foundation of its most high-performance tires and added a nylon casing combined with a unique Graphene + Silica compound. The result is an optimal balance of durability, rolling efficiency and grip.
Is the only tire in the Corsa family built with a nylon casing – a true technical innovation. Nylon fibers increase robustness and puncture resistance, while the central section is reinforced with three layers of 100 TPI nylon plus an additional puncture protection belt. Durability is further enhanced at the bead thanks to a chafer – an extra protective layer of nylon wrapping around it. The advanced bead design also makes mounting and inflation easier, both in tubeless and tube-type setups.Corsa N.EXT is the ideal choice for riders seeking a solid, durable, yet fast road tire with an excellent quality-to-price ratio.
Corsa PRO: The choice of professionals – the ultimate evolution of cotton performance
Corsa PRO is Vittoria’s top-of-the-range road racing tire, chosen by riders who demand the highest performance and by those who want to ride the same equipment as World Tour professionals.
At the highest level of road racing, every component must contribute to speed and lightness – because every watt gained can make the difference. Tires, as the only point of contact between bike and tarmac, play a decisive role in transferring pedalling energy into motion.
For those seeking maximum performance, Corsa PRO delivers unmatched qualities thanks to its cotton casing: more supple, more flexible and lighter. Cotton’s natural flexibility allows the casing to perfectly conform to every ripple of the asphalt, ensuring continuous contact with the road, maximizing grip and traction, and minimizing rolling resistance. With its 320 TPI cotton casing – the finest available on the market – Corsa PRO offers the suppleness, comfort, and lightness that pro riders demand. The Graphene + Silica compound further enhances speed, grip, and durability.
Corsa PRO is the perfect choice for cyclists who aspire to pro-level performance, prioritizing speed, lightness, and comfort above all.
