If grip and puncture protection is similar to the Power Cup, I'll fetinitely try it out.
For me, the GP has left the conversation as a daily training tire with the S TR generation. To drop weight, the BRR puncture score dropped to similar levels as TT tires.

You say something like that is coming?

Yes, officially Corsa Speed Pro will not arrive until 2024, and tire aerodynamics are definitely a little overrated.
While Swiss Side claims un-aerodynamic tries "destroy the aerodynamics of every wheel", all tests I've seen have put the difference from best to worst (with a given width) of 2-4 watts at 45kph. That difference in Rolling Resistance between a very aerodynamic road tire, and a non aerodynamic TT tire is usually bigger than that.
I really hope for the new Corsa Speed Pro to be as fast as the Veloflex Record TLR, with a tread width and wear rate of the GP5000TT. That'd be amazing.

I've been told the current version is a bit prone to punctures so I assume the work between now and 2024 will be mostly on rectifying that.FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 2:37 pmI really hope for the new Corsa Speed Pro to be as fast as the Veloflex Record TLR, with a tread width and wear rate of the GP5000TT.

I ve been using the tires for some months, winter included and they catch much less road crap than previous Vittoria corsas, much less thread cuts in my experience, no punctures so far in around 2k km, roads here are pretty clean, the only problem being road salt in cold days and it staying forever on the sides of the road.
Sounds good, I plan to ride these in training on the TT bike to see what they're like compared with the GP5000 clinchers I normally use. Hopefully the sidewalls retain their colour better than others like Schwalbe etc.!Xabi wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 5:53 pmI ve been using the tires for some months, winter included and they catch much less road crap than previous Vittoria corsas, much less thread cuts in my experience, no punctures so far in around 2k km, roads here are pretty clean, the only problem being road salt in cold days and it staying forever on the sides of the road.

Does anybody know whether they will offer a black tyre as well? Not a big fan of tan walls on my bike.

Also - any idea when the bicyclerollingresistance.com will test these?

Number 1 voted tire in May. So probably early June. But we know it's fast already. Now it's only about grip and puncture resistance.gorkypl wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 10:53 am+1Aerodynamik wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 10:45 amDoes anybody know whether they will offer a black tyre as well?
