Vittoria Corsa PRO Gold, a super limited edition to celebrate a great year
Much has been said about the year that Jumbo-Visma has had during the 2023 season. However, for a full year, the one of Vittoria. The Italian tyre firm, which equips with its Corsa PRO some of the best teams in the World Tour, scored the main races of the season, including, of course, the three grand tours.
The winning tyres are called Vittoria Corsa PRO
Vittoria is one of the historic brands when it comes to the manufacture of bicycle tyres. It is currently present in the professional peloton at the highest level as a supplier of the Jumbo-Visma, Alpecin-Deceuninck, Astana, EF Education-EasyPost and DSM teams in terms of World Tour squads.

This choice of teams has led the Vittoria Corsa PRO to be the most awarded of the 2023 season, used by the winners of the three grand tours by Roglic, Vingegaard and Kuss; and Mathieu van der Poel to conquer two monuments, Milan-San Remo and Paris-Robuaix as well as the rainbow in the Glasgow World Championship. To all this, we must add 59 stages in tours, 14 one-day races and 8 overall victories.
A lean record that Vittoria celebrates by launching a limited edition of just 2,023 packs of two tyres, of its Corsa PRO called Gold in reference not only to the triumphant year but to the golden flanks with which the Italian brand has decided to dress these tyres.
These Vittoria Corsa PRO Gold come numbered and are only sold in size 700x28c at a limited edition price: 299 €.
The Corsa PRO model is the most evolved of Vittoria, standing out for its cotton casing with a thread density of 320 TPI, which gives them incredible flexibility to adapt to curves and for the rubber to transmit its force to the road. A compound that stands out for the use of graphene in its formulation in addition to the usual silica, which gives its tread a greater durability and resistance to cuts without losing the necessary grip in competition tyres.
