Strengths:    Looks like a fast tire.

Weaknesses:    Won't hold air. At all.

Bottom Line:   
I bought two tires for front and back. Both held air when I stretched them dry.
After gluing, the front wouldn't hold air. I took it to the shop and they replaced the core, no difference.
At that weekend's race I ran a Michelen clincher on the front, and the Evo on the back. The rear Evo lost air during the race but made it the race.
The next race I had to trade out the Evo mid race (to Michelen clinchers front and back) because the Evo lost too much pressure.
I tried Tufo sealant this Monday, hoping to race the Evo's at the KCNat's, now the back won't hold air at all and the front leaks slow like it has since I glued it.
$100 bucks of tires plus $8 of sealant, a lot of hassle and 1.5 races on one tire, plus a tubular wheelset with no tires to run. What a waste.

Vittoria Cross Evo XG = poor traction, is it just me?

I'm in my second season. Last year I raced with Panaracer Cinder X Clinchers (block pattern). They seemed fine, but you guys all convinced me that tubulars are the way to go.    Read More »
