Cotton casing construction disappeared from most tire lines years ago because nylon is cheaper and easier to manufacture. Vittoria kept cotton alive in the Corsa PRO because the ride quality difference remains measurable—320 TPI cotton-corespun construction delivers a suppleness that nylon simply cannot replicate. The casing combines cotton fibers with aramid reinforcement, balancing the intuitive road feel of natural fibers with modern puncture resistance. When you corner hard on rough pavement, that suppleness translates into a contact patch that conforms to surface irregularities rather than skipping across them.

The Graphene + Silica compound uses Vittoria's Race Formulation, engineered for technical racing conditions where grip and durability both matter. The compound provides elevated side grip for confidence at lean angles in wet or dry conditions, while the reinforced formulation resists the cuts and abrasion that come with race-pace riding. An anti-puncture belt sits beneath the tread, and a bead shield adds protection at the rim interface where tubeless setups concentrate stress during hard cornering.

Vittoria electrically cures the Corsa PRO to eliminate seams in the tire structure. Traditional vulcanization creates small inconsistencies where mold sections meet, which affect balance and aerodynamics at speed. Electrical curing produces a seamless construction that rolls more smoothly and reduces the vibration you feel through the handlebars. It's a manufacturing detail that matters most when you're riding at threshold and want the bike to disappear beneath you.... Read More
