Bike: 2012 Salsa Casserole
Purchased: Aug. 2014
Mileage So Far: approx. 1500-2000 miles
Use:
- Several gravel-grinding/road bike tours (about 600-700 miles total packing about 40lbs. w/ 220lb. rider)
- Club road rides
Pro:
- super fast! Compared to Schwalbe Marathon & Plus & Pasela GT’s I am noticeably faster, making it fun to lead the pack on club road rides and knowing I’m the most comfortable
- Easy to un/install
- Reflective rim
- Handle well on gravel
- Only 1 flat
- Wear evenly
Con:
- quite a few pits and large gashes in tire
- rate tire life at 2500-3000 miles with my riding style
- Center tire tread pattern is shallow and almost gone one one tire after miles noted above
I’d give them 5 stars if I’d had more experience with different tires to compare, but overall I wouldn’t think twice about purchasing again.
Last but not least, I was afraid they wouldn't handle bumps very well since these are narrower than my original tires, but they actually absorb the nasty bumps of the road pretty well, even when inflated near the maximum (90 PSI).
All in all - if you have a city bike and you need something far better than the mediocre tires most city bikes come with - the Vittorias are a great choice.
These are fat road bike tires, paper-thin with very low durability. You will regret trying to tour with them, as I did...
Rolling resistance is said to be very low for these tires, that's why I bought them. In practice, the resistance seemed low only when they were jacked up to 80+ PSI. Otherwise, not much faster. The major difference was durability - these suck!! Durability tests for these tires showed they were roughly half the puncture resistance as other options. In practice, that 2x difference in puncture resistance is HUGE!! These have absolutely no puncture protection beyond the paper-thin rubber. I had 3 punctures in 3 weeks, the last one completely destroying the tire. Seriously, you don't want to go anywhere far from home on these things!
Timeline of failure:
- Bought these for a 6-week loaded bike tour in Germany/France (with exceptionally good road quality).
- Before I left, I rode around town a couple weeks, during which I had one flat from tiny bits of glass.
- I added tube liner to the rear tire, which now made the tire as heavy as competing options.
- First week on tour, one puncture from a thorn, and I noticed numerous gouges in the rubber simply from going through sand / gravel on the road.
- Second week - complete failure! - a tiny piece of chipseal (rock found in virtually all asphalt) sliced a 4mm gash clean through the rubber, blowing out the front tire (which had no liner). Even with a liner, the gash was big enough that any tube would hemorrhage out.
- Replaced them with Schwalbe Marathons (which I was super lucky to find nearby). The Marathons (which have a built-in puncture protection layer) were vastly stronger, and lasted through many more weeks of rough conditions without any issues whatsoever. The Voyagers could never have survived - not a chance!!
Recommendation:
Schwalbe Marathons are somewhat heavy and probably a bit sluggish (if you don't keep them well-inflated) but they are bomb-proof. I'm not absolutely recommending them, perhaps there are other better options, but I am absolutely recommending you stay far far away from the Voyagers.

商品のほうも、走行はなめらかで安定感がある気がします。
ペダルが驚くほど軽くなったという感じではありませんが、転がりはよく、走行音も静かで、高級感がある気がします。
規定圧の6気圧の空気をいれていますが、クッション性は良いほうだと思います。
転がり抵抗は低く、クッション性もよいというところでは高いレベルでのバランスのとれたタイヤといえる気がします。
マキシス・デトネーター⇒パナレーサー・パセラブラック⇒本商品、と買い替えてきました。
マキシス・デトネーターは、スリックで圧力も高いのに転がりがわるく、クッションがほとんど感じられず、すぐにパンクしてしまったため、パンクしにくいと評判の、パナレーサーブラックに買い替えて、パンクはしにくく、グリップも耐摩耗性もころがり具合もまあまあ良かったのですが、600gという重さは繰り返し乗っているとかなり気になってきて、乗る気を失せさせました。今回、本商品に買い替えて、転がり抵抗、軽さ、乗り心地が改善しましたので、耐久性や耐パンク性能もチェックしていきたいと思います。
私はリムを2セットもっていて、もう一セットのほうには、23mm幅のミシュランのリチオン2をつけていて、そちらは非常に軽いです。スピードも出ますし、今までにパンクも一回もしてませんが、タイヤが細いので耐摩耗性はどうしても32mm幅のものには及びません。舗装が荒れた道路だとなんとなくハンドルがとられそうで怖いです。街乗りにはやはりある程度のタイヤ幅があったほうが安定感があるように思います。
Not the cheapest product but hopefully will last a long time and stand up to the hedge cutters thorns which are on our local country roads.
Für mich erfüllt der Reifen genau diesen Zweck, hat eine stabile Seitenwand, einen gefühlt sehr geringen Rollwiderstand und fährt sich trotz dem nicht allzu unkomfortabel.
Fazit: Klasse Reifen!
パニアつけた場合後輪はこれがいいかなと
チューブが23cと共有できるのがまずないので、他所でビットリアのチューブを買ったのですが、バルブ長がRS21では足りなくてまだ装着できていません
28ランドナー用のシュワルベ18-28が転用できるという話を聞いたので、ルビノプロを履き倒したあとでやってみます
頭の中では、もうかなり遠くまで旅してるような気分
そんな気に浸っていられるだけで買った意味はあったかな、なんて
