Is Vittoria Keen a model name? What is it? Where is it described? I don't see anything called Keen on the Vittoria website, even under the graphene models (call me skeptical until conclusive evidence is in that Vittoria's claims on this graphene business is not just a hype job).

There's a period (.) between Vittoria and the next word, so take a pause there when reading, it will make more sense that way ;)

Also keen to hear impressions of the new vittorias. Between this and the one pro, Tubeless if finally getting there it seems.

I take it the word "keen" is not widely used in America...

Nah, just trying to get a joke where there wasn't one to be made.

any new WW approved stems at the show? That would have been wonderful if Schmolke came out with a stem. I have been waiting for that for awhile.

No that wasn't a joke. I think i had a little smudge on the monitor where the period was, and so missed it. But yeah, I'm not really keen on using keen. Maybe Micky is just keen to assume I was making a joke, as I have about some Italian (ex) pros who've been known to use PEDs from time to time.

Anyone know any more?

There are a few reviews around for their MTB wheels, pretty good by all accounts. IIRC they use Acros internals for the hubs, this means they're solid and fairly easy to get parts for, swap freehubs etc (relatively speaking of course, for a boutique product). I think a magazine had also done some kind of lateral stiffness test which matched Bike Ahead's figures and their claim of the wheels being much stiffer than a comparable weight, steel spoke wheel.

The Paves seem to have disappeared from the Vittoria website as well.

So has anyone got a link to where I can buy some new Vittorias online? My local supplier isn't aware of them...

When is Vittoria going to introduce GRAPHENE to their MTB and CX tires?

I'd think it would have a significantly greater impact in those venues than on the road.

Wow, that is a bit shocking for Vittoria to completely revamp and slim down their product line like that. They previously offered so many different tires and from the current website it's a lot fewer now. Not crazy about the gum wall only on the tubular offerings right now, I've been through that phase and back to all black tubs now. Hopefully they'll add that option and then I will try them.

How many times you've done jokes on topics?
Nothing wrong with it, some are quite funny, but sometimes "too forced" if you know what I mean. :beerchug:
