Strengths: ~ Tougher than many 500g wire-bead tires
~ Rolls nice
~ Incredible cornering grip
~ Superior flat protection, unlike its sibling Open Corsa EVO CX
~ Holds 145psi tightly
~ Easy to mount
~ 150tpi comfort and complianceWeaknesses: ~ Not cheap, in USA. ProBikeKit in UK has the BEST global price w/ free shipping
~ Not heavy/not lightBottom Line: This review is for the 700x25c version. I use this tire on my trainer; 2001 Cannondale Bad Boy Sport Hybrid. Although it lacks the Mithril center performance layer of the Rubino Pro Tech III - the Rubino Pro III has a supple feel similar to the EVO CX....but with far better flat protection. Compared to the Conti GP4K - this tire accelerates like an Audi R8 - as opposed to the Continental's BMW M3.
The file tread has these water dispersing Chevrons, but I doubt its even necessary on such a thin-footprint tire. At under 250g/tire - I find them a great value...and trust me - I've tried them ALL.

Strengths: Awesome tire so far. I have been riding Vredestein Fortezza TriComp tires for the past several years with no compaints. This is until the tire starts to wear out. Than the flats start. I do alot of road riding in and around Park City, Utah. The shoulders of the roads around here seem to always have lots of junk, sharp rocks, glass, staples, nails, You name it , its there. I have recently started getting to many flats. With tupes costing around 7.00 a piece well its to expensive to always put in a new tube. Fixing them isnt always a 100% fix. I have been riding the same junk filled shoulders for the past month on these tires with no flats. The tires still look brand new. Approx, 500 miles.Weaknesses: None,,, Yet. ?Bottom Line: Great tire. Bought mine through Bike tires direct. for 7.00 dollars less than the MSRP listed above. this tire rolls very well, very low rolling resistance. Great cornering, I inflate mine to 110 PSI. If you want a bullet proof tire. This is the one.
