Vittoria Corsa N.Ext tyre review: A halfway house between race tyre and training tyre that does well at both

The Vittoria Corsa N.Ext – simply pronounced Corsa Next – was released back in 2022, before the new Corsa Pro lineup. Back then it was the first tyre in the Corsa line to feature a Nylon casing rather than the regular cotton casing that has adorned the Corsa line.

The idea was to bridge the gap between the Corsa Control rugged race tyre, and the Rubino Pro all season offering. Much of the tread technology is the same as found in the Corsa range though, with a combination of both Graphene and Silica. It’s designed to be both fast, and durable.

In terms of price, they undercut the Corsa Pro range of road race tyres, yet their performance is in some cases better as we found out in our lab-based rolling resistance test of them against the best road bike tyres on the market. So where do these fit in to the current tyre market and should you go for these rather than the Corsa Pro lineup or other tubeless road bike tyres?
