Vittoria Corsa Speed TLR G2.0 28" Folding Tyre

Time trialists love it: the Corsa Speed Folding Tyre by Vittoria

Vittoria's fastest bike tyre offers a super lightweight tubeless-ready casing. This racing-specific beast has raised the bar for tyre technology! The Corsa Speed features Vittoria's proprietary Graphene G2.0 combined with an ultra-fine Corespun casing. The end result is a tyre that impresses with an extremely low rolling resistance, while at the same time offers the well-known Corsa suppleness as well as excellent grip on wet ground conditions. When used in tubeless form, the casing works perfectly with sealant, providing even greater protection for the tyre's surface. If absolute speed is your top priority, don't let anyone sell you another tyre!

Technology:

Graphene 2.0:
The fundamental feature of graphene is that it changes the performance of the rubber, reinforcing the innovative characteristics of Vittoria tyres. In version 2.0, the compound depends on the tyre type and its requirements to improve the desired performance. For Road tyres, this means that Graphene 2.0 significantly reduces rolling resistance and abrasion resistance. With this rubber compound, you don't have to compromise when speed, grip, durability and wear resistance are required.

Cotton Carcass:
As a material, cotton helps to reduce the weight of the carcass while providing high protection and grip. Vittoria is considered the pioneer of tyres with cotton casings. To increase the overall strength of the tyre, they use Corespun yarn, a special type of yarn made of cotton and aramid fibres.
The fabric quality used in a tyre casing is expressed in TPI (thread-per-inch): the higher the TPI number, the finer the threads, the denser the weave and the smoother the tyre.

Corespun:
Vittoria's unique Corespun carcass is the result of years of experience, clever R&D (research & development) and advanced manufacturing technology, confirmed by millions of kilometres of cycling racing. The basic material consists of superfine poly-cotton threads. These threads have a polyester core, which is woven around with cotton. This dense fabric is then coated with latex. Corespun carcasses vary in fabric type and density as well as in additives, depending on the desired application.
Corespun 320 tpi is currently the most advanced poly-cotton carcass in the tyre industry. It consists of new, even finer and more tear-resistant threads, which do not contain any Kevlar additives, so that the supple and stretchy material properties of cotton are fully exploited.

Tubeless Ready Cotton Road Casing:
Vittoria's TLR construction offers ultimate puncture protection and speed. A robust new bead material called Zylon is used for optimal air retention. Tubeless Ready Setup is the lightest and fastest housing option.
