How do the Veloflex Corsas do for puncture resistance?
Currently use GP4000s and love their puncture proof nature and speed but the Vittoria's I have ride much nicer but have been puncturing lots recently so also in the market for some new tyres.

The Aksion are totally different to either of the Yksion offerings.
Out of the box they are honestly terrible in the wet. Even 'scrubbed up' I was wary if the road was anything more than moist. In the dry, fine. Perfect training tyre (read: nothing amazing, wore hard and made you feel amazing when race wheels/tyres were on).
Yksion never had an issue with, even new.

Puncture resistance is not Veloflex' strength. Comparable to Vittoria.
The 4000s is BY FAR superior in that regard.
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.

Have they fixed the issue with their side walls bulging.
Saw many, many tyres do this.
Grip wise and wear wise, great. Just that side wall defect (at least in a run we had delivered to Australia at any rate).

I got about 8 months out of my Corsa 23's. This includes about 150-200 miles per week, about 10 crits and thankfully, only one puncture. I'm no lightweight either at about 88kg. I just ordered a set of the 25's and have high expectations for them.

My Veloflex Master 23 were magnificent. Only one puncture. Fantastic tyre.
Would not run them in winter again (cut up a little quickly), but during the drier months they are excellent.

Yes, no reason to use Gp4000 for racing. Attack/Force are a little lighter and have lower Crr due to less tread.
But the really fast ones are the Supersonics since they also forgo the vectran belt.
Vittoria Corsas are fast... about as good as Attack/Force.
Ultremo ZX and Pro4s have high resistance, considering.
