Vittoria Open Corsa clincher changed?

on-yer-bike

Is it correct that Vittoria have changed their range and that there is now only the one version of this tyre and it has gum walls?

As far as I'm aware and can see, you can still get the CX version with black walls and the SC with gum walls.

That's my understanding as well

On their website there is just a Corsa Speed and a Corsa both have gumwalls

The Corsa is changing. Anything with black sidewalls is the old version. the new graphene tyres will be more expensive too. the new tyres are not in the country yet.

Is Graphene the correct name for gum wall?

Here's all the tyres with the graphene http://www.vittoria.com/tires/road-tire/?graphene=1

Of course, it seems the Corsa CX/SC kind of level of tyres are now all gumwall. If you want a non gumwall of that kind of level you can buy old stock or go for Veloflex's Open Corsa.

Corsa Speed or Corsa Competition are the ones you'd be looking for if they do come out as non-gumwalls, out of those my gut reaction is that the Corsa Competition is the only one that might come out in a non-gumwall version, but there's no sign of them intending on doing this so it's very doubtful at the moment.

Ah yes, that stuff! In their wheels too.Probably be in frames soon too.

Grapheme frames will be developed. Expect Di2 routing in the frame itself and the frame will be very lights 500w should be possible.
