For Oak, tires are not an afterthought. They’re the contact patch between everything we believe about riding and the actual road. That’s why Vittoria belongs here.
Vittoria’s Corsa line has been at the sharp end of racing for years, and the current generation—Corsa PRO, Corsa PRO Control, Corsa Speed, and Corsa N.EXT—shows a brand that cares about more than just rolling numbers. They care about feel: that hard‑to‑describe mix of suppleness, grip, and confidence that tells you whether a bike wants to be raced or merely ridden.
At Oak, our pillars are family, racing, joy, and sophistication. Vittoria intersects all four:
-
Racing because these tires are built for WorldTour riders and serious amateurs—Corsa PRO has been called Vittoria’s most advanced cotton tire ever, using a 320 TPI cotton casing and a new “light vulcanisation” process to bond tread and casing into a seamless whole. Corsa PRO Control takes that same platform and adds a more robust tread pattern and texture for rougher roads and cobbles. Corsa Speed and Corsa PRO Speed push even further into pure time trial and triathlon territory, trading everything that’s not speed for weight and rolling resistance gains. Corsa N.EXT brings race‑inspired performance into the high‑mileage, enthusiast space—nylon casing, Graphene + Silica compound, and durability for long weekly rides.
-
Joy because a good tire changes how you experience a familiar road. A high‑TPI cotton casing at 28 mm on a wide rim at the right pressure turns rough tarmac into something you can float over and carve through, not just survive. Vittoria’s Corsa PRO and PRO Control are built around that 320 TPI cotton corespun casing, which testers and riders consistently describe as unusually supple and confidence‑inspiring.
-
Sophistication because Vittoria doesn’t just chase extremes—they build a system. Corsa PRO and PRO Control for race days and rough courses, Corsa Speed/PRO Speed for TTs and pure speed, Corsa N.EXT for big training blocks and long rides, latex tubes for classic clincher speed and feel, TPU tubes for ultralight, low‑resistance setups, and Air‑Liner Light Road inserts for extra security and control in tubeless setups. It’s all different ways of answering the same question: how do we make the most of the bike underneath you?
-
Family because we think of “family” as anyone who chooses to ride with intent, whether they’re racing Monument‑level events or putting in quiet, serious miles. Vittoria’s presence at the top of the sport and in everyday enthusiast setups means their tires show up in the same bunches and races we care about.
The specific products we stock at Oak reflect that full picture:
-
Corsa PRO TLR: flagship race tire for fast road riding and race days, with 320 TPI cotton casing and Graphene + Silica compound for speed, wet grip, and comfort.
-
Corsa PRO Control TLR: rough‑road race tire, using the same casing with a more structured tread for better cornering and control on cobbles, poor tarmac, and hardpack.
-
Corsa Speed / Corsa PRO Speed TLR: time‑trial and triathlon tires, among the lightest tubeless road options available, engineered for minimal rolling resistance and maximum speed.
-
Corsa N.EXT TLR: race‑inspired, durable tire with a nylon casing and Graphene + Silica compound; built for riders who rack up serious miles and want speed without giving up longevity and puncture protection.
-
Latex inner tubes: a classic choice for riders who want lower rolling resistance, more suppleness, and quicker response compared to standard butyl tubes. Also a classic for holding race chips on the fork.
-
TPU inner tubes: Vittoria’s ultra‑light TPU tubes, up to 70% lighter and significantly faster than butyl, for riders who want tube setups with near‑tubeless performance and big weight savings.
-
Air‑Liner Light Road: Vittoria’s lightweight road insert, designed to work with tubeless setups to improve protection, support, and controllability in the event of punctures or low pressure. Perfect for bumpy roads (like cobbles) or soft gravel roads.
We didn’t choose these products just because they test well. We chose them because they help riders live out Oak’s idea of cycling: serious, joyful, and design‑minded. They’re for riders who tune pressure before rides, who feel the difference between a good and great casing, and who understand that tires are not just consumables— they’re one of the clearest ways to express how you want your bike to move through the world.
That’s why Vittoria feels like Oak. Different company, same attention to feel, same respect for racing, same belief that the details under you change everything about how a ride feels.
