Vittoria Corsa Cx Tubular 700 X 21 Stiv Racerdekk, Black, 28" x 21C, Sykkeldekk

Fordeler

• Supple 320 TPI cotton/Kevlar casing with latex inner tube provides very compliant ride and precise road feel
• Low mass (~245 g) for a tubular in this width aids acceleration
• Removable valve core (RVC) eases use of valve extenders for deeper rims
• PRB 2.0 puncture belt offers some protection compared with older pure-cotton tubulars
• Good dry‑cornering grip from Vittoria’s ISOgrip compound
• Handmade construction; consistent with many pro‑level tubular builds

Ting å vurdere

• 21 mm width is narrow by current road standards, reducing comfort and limiting grip on rough surfaces
• Independent testing and user reports indicate higher rolling resistance than modern top tubeless/clincher race tires
• Durability and cut resistance of cotton sidewalls are modest; prone to tread and sidewall cuts in everyday use
• Wet‑weather grip and security are average compared with newer compounds
• Installation requires tubular rims and proper gluing/taping; field repairs are inconvenient
• Stated very high max pressures (up to 200 psi) are outdated relative to modern optimal pressure guidance
• Valve length (42 mm) may require extenders for mid/deep rims

Oppsummering & anbefalinger

A classic, supple race tubular with 320 TPI casing and latex inner tube that delivers precise handling and a traditional pro‑tire feel. Performance is optimized on smooth tarmac, but the narrow 21 mm profile, modest puncture resistance, and rolling efficiency lag behind current top tubeless/clincher options. Appropriate for riders already committed to tubular setups seeking a light, compliant tire for race day rather than daily use.

Bruksområder & tips

Best suited to dedicated road racing on smooth courses by riders using tubular-specific wheels who prioritize a supple, traditional race feel over durability and convenience. Not ideal for everyday training, wet conditions, rough roads, or riders seeking the lowest rolling resistance available from modern tubeless systems.
