Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, low rolling resistance, softer ride
Cons: Expensive, colour in wrong place
"They are the best tires I've used. Better rolling than their Rubino Pros, softer ride even at higher pressure which they can take. If you're not racing the Rubino Pro should be good enough (especially the new ones with the higher thread count).
There are grooves on the side wall which extend into centre. These are shallow so I can't see them lasting too long there.
As with all Vittoria folding tires with a kevlar bead they are hard to get on the first time. I suggest the following first up: put them on without the tube, you can use tyre levers without worrying about damaging a tube. If you can leave it like that overnight, or at least an hour. Bead will stretch enough to now put in a tube as you would after a puncture. You'll find it much easier that way.
One thing that irritated me was the COLOUR; they put it in the CENTRE. As I got white they immediately looked a dirty grey. I liked the white Rubino Pros which have an all white side wall - they look great."

Feels much nicer than the Pro3
Pros: Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"Retail in Australia for ONE tyre is $110. I've got a pair for $114 from Wiggle.
These replaced my Michelin Pro3s and feel a lot smoother when rolling and allows me to go lower on corners. On a test sample of 1 (me) along same corners at same speeds, I feel a lot more planted on the Corsa CXs. The Pro3s are good but feel a bit more twitchy around corners and hence less confidence.
Of all the clinchers I've ridden (Vittoria Rubino, Michelin Pro 2, 3s) these feel the closing in rolling to a pair of tubular tyres.
Putting on the tyres might be a bit hard at first but they eventually went on."

Not as good as their tubs
"Used to ride on vittoria cx tubs and do on my low pro with out problems for years. but bought these for my road bike as a good set to race. Two races and two punctures absolute junk in my opinion better of with conti 4000 ."

Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"Bought these to replace the Specialized tires that came with my road bike. I'd had a set of Vittoria tires a few years back and they were very good.
These are very light and look great. However I got a thorn puncture on my first ride with them despite the high thread density. I think (hope) this was just bad luck - they've been fine since.

Nice riding tire, carry some extra inner tubes
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Wears Out Easily
"I replaced my Michelin Krylion tires with these recently. I did notice an improvement in ride quality but in less than 100 miles I have punctured twice on the same roads that I rode over 1000 on with the Michelin's without ever puncturing. City streets in Hong Kong, lots of odd sewer grates etc and some very rough concrete. I now carry two tubes. Good riding tires, no complaints there, but no where near the Michelin's for durability. Note used same inner tube (Continental Race 700) with both tires."

ハンドメイド故の・・・。
Pros: 魅力的
Cons: 高価格, 質の低さ
"品質誤差が見受けられました。
試行錯誤した上で、ウネリは大幅に改善されましたが・・・。
価格=品質で考えると、良い点が見つからない。
また、グリップはこのランクでは低いんじゃないかな?今一歩攻め込めない。"

Great racing tyre
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Wears Out Easily
"I've tried lots of other race tyres but these feel the fastest tyres I've used. They also seem reasonably puncture resistant (I have less punctures with these than my Ultra GatorSkins) and have good grip in the wet. What more could you ask for? The only downside is that they aren't the longest lasting tyre but hey it's a race tyre so what do you expect?"

I love these tyres ...
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Wears Out Easily
""I LOVE THESE TYRES ... Solid, grippy, rugged, hardwearing ... I have never felt as confident on the bike as I do when these boots are on my wheels. Great tyre, I have ran these and the Pave Evo and I haven't yet had a single puncture ... Amazing tyre. They do wear a little fast though.""

Great racing tyre
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
"I bought this for my TT bike as up here in the North East of Scotland the roads, even the ones we race on, aren't the best. Ideally I would ride a 20 but the 23 is best for the road conditions up here. I also use them for road races as they stay strong and the 23 seems to cope really well and avoids the need for something bigger like a 25.
Easy to fit and the grip is excellent. Rarely cuts and can take a heavy training and racing workload"

Good solid tyre... No probs after 1000kms
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"Initially I found these tyres to be a massive pain to fit to my Zipp 101's... Once I actually got them on I was dreading the day I'd get a flat but fortunately that day hasn't come yet!
On the bike I've been really happy with how the tyres have performed. Grippy in the wet, solid and sticky around corners on decents, basically no probs at all riding on them around the hills where I live and commuting to work down in town.
Similar tyres used: Michelin Krylion... I think I like the Vittoria's better, but both great tyres IMHO."

These feel fast and smooth
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Lightweight, soft riding, lively ride feel
Cons: hard to get over rim
"I bought these for a specific ride based on their reputation for low rolling resistance. I expected them to be a firmer ride than the Hutchinson Fusion tubeless that I usually run but to my great surprise they felt softer even though I have them at 110 psi and ride over some pretty awful chipseal.
Compared to the Fusion tyres, the Vittoria Corsa Evo CX feels livelier yet softer. The bike feels more responsive in every way.
I'll be sticking with these providing there are no longevity issues and only time will tell me that."

Buy these...you won't be sorry!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, grip well, fast & light, 145psi max pressure suits larger riders
"Just bought a new set from Wiggle, had these last year and did 7500 kms without a single puncture. I was then 100+ kgs so for me puncture resistence is fine! They are light and fast and I had no issues with grip when cornering in wet or dry conditions. The extra pressure (up to 145 psi) is better for larger riders like me."

great performance - shorter life expectancy
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, high performace
Cons: Expensive, Wears Out Easily
"The corsa CX is a great tyre. I think it is the fastest, with solid grip and a good road feel. However it does cut up quite easily, and does wear quickly. Puncture resistance is OK, but I find that a deep cut will usually end the usefulness of the tyre before it wears out."

Fast Rolling, but
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
"These tyres are great to ride fast rolling, grippy in the wet, only downside for me is prone to punctures but still comparable to other racing tyres at this tyre shredding time of year. Going to get another set when worn."
