This tire is essentially a clincher version of the Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR. I used the TLR version and found it very smooth on the road. But I got tired of the mess and maintenance of tubeless. So this spring I went back to clincher tires. When Vittoria released this tire I was all in. I have paired with Vittoria latex tubes. The ride is amazing. The ride feels faster and smoother than the Corsa Pro TLR. I know that's subjective, so take it for what it's worth, but for me it is the best combination I have come across. For you old schoolers, it reminds me of how tubulars felt on the road.
I was a dedicated Veloflex user for many years I had been riding with my winter Gravel kings waiting for someone to purchase Veloflex it just didn't happen. I couldn't take the Gravel kings any longer and knew that I wanted a cotton based tire to get the ride as close as I could to my vintage tubular bikes. I treat these tires just like tubular's I use my gloves to wipe down tires often just to make sure no glass shards etc are stuck to tires just waiting to be pounded into the tire with every rotation. I know the Veloflex tires can be fragile, it's too early for me to judge, but I have no cuts thus far. Tire pressure is something I'm still trying to figure out as maybe the sidewalls are thinner than my old Veloflex or maybe riding the horribly hard Gravel Kings, that I forgot what a good quality tire feels like. I'm pretty light maybe around 125lbs and ride a 2020 Bianchi Infinito endurance frame that I love. I'll figure it out. Purchase experience was first rate, that I'm ordering a new Kask helmet today.
