I've been using Vittoria tires on my MTB for the past 5yrs and recently trying them on my Road bike and so far like them a lot as well... haven't been too lucky with Continental GP5k STR tires (Punctures and torn side wall)....
I recently built a Time Bike (~500mi) and opted for the retro wall color from Vittoria went on relatively easy on ENVE SES4.5 AR wheels...rides like dream but time will tell the tire life...
One knock is that you would need a bit more sealant and almost impossible to keep that tan color clean...gets dirty and stays dirty
This tire has more side-knob than you would imagine. In deep sand/scree/dirt, don't expect it to do much until you lean into the side knobs for bite. This is certainly a purpose built XC tire that would be perfect on big days with lots of gravel connectors. I raced this for 50 miles in Lake City, Colorado and had no issues with flats. Sidewall looks very thin, but I consider this very much a race tire.
Putting this tire on a lightweight hardtail feels the most appropriate. Something that you can take to a gravel race or hit singletrack with. Definitely much faster than the Maxxis offerings I have tested/used/raced.
I bought this tire for my gravel bike. I have been using the Goodyear Contender tire (40mm) which has been great, but wanted something a little smoother as my tread would wear out anyway. Since I use my bike 90% of the time for commuting on mostly paved roads and bumpy bike trails, it didn't make sense to have a tire with treads. This has been a great choice, as it can run over anything but also picks up the speed of my bike and has less rolling resistance (almost as quick as my road bike with 28mm tires). I have also used it on gravel roads during weekends and it does a good job and you can fly on the roads. However, I wouldn't recommend it for climbing steep terrain on loose material. That said I did climb some steeper gradients on gravel and it was fine. Works great in the rain. Good tire!
