I have been a fan of Vittoria for years , after disappointing experiences with other brands. While it's questionable to rate a product such as a tire with only a small number of miles so far, I am confident to say they are solid, smooth and round! I anticipate enjoyng them for more than a couple seasons.
I was using the Pro Corsa tire, but it couldn't stand up to the debris on the west coast of Florida's bike routes. I went with this tire and felt no real drop off in speed, but many fewer flats.
I had been using Gatorskins for over twenty years and had been satisfied with them despite the difficulty in mounting them and the annoying unraveling of threads, especially in the rear tire. Then I discovered the Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0. I've been using them now for a little over a year and have over five thousand miles on the front tire and it still has plenty of life left in it.
In addition to its durability, the Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 is easy to mount, provides a smooth comfortable ride with excellent gripnand handling and is as resistent to punctures as Gatorskins. And given the overall quality of the tire, the price is an additional plus.
For the type of rides I do, 40 to 50 miles at about a 14 - 15 mph average pace, the Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 can't be beat.
This is the third time I've purchased a set of these tires. They are smooth on the road, resist puncture and last a while. I've used them on races to daily rides, uphill to flats.
I bike frequently, but I am no expert on gear, especially tires. I bought these to replace some more supple tires that wore out too quickly. The roads I ride on can get rough. So far, these are holding up well. As long as I keep the pressure around 95-100 psi, not too rough on me. The only drawback is the difficulty getting them on. Hopefully, i wont have any flats so I wont have to change them.
Responsive with nice cornering
A "more affordable" tire that I get a ton of miles from with virtually no punctures. Grippy through the corners and good in the wet. Not a "race" tire, ok, but I don't "race" so I'm more interested in mileage and puncture protection. They are plenty lively for me, especially with TPU tubes.
I've put about 1500 miles on a set of these, running them tubeless on Krysium Pro wheels. They seem to roll well, are pretty comfortable, and reasonably flat resistant. I've had one small puncture that sealed with the sealant, so no long term issues. Didn't notice it on the ride, but rather from more air loss than have come to expect from these tires. They do hold pressure quite well. At least on Krysium rims, a real bear to get on, so I am keeping my finger's crossed that I don't have any catastrophic failures.
Like the ride. Not so much durability
I bought a new Bianchi bike with these tires on it. 700c 28
I have ridden about 300 miles on it and they're not showing any wear yet. Seem to have really low rolling resistance. Very good tires. No flats yet.
These tires are fast, durable and smooth. I like the gum wall sides, it makes my bright yellow pop out on my bike. I will order these tires again for sure.
Like many roadies, I waver between Conti GP and anything else. I usually start thinking 'anything than Continental' whenever I have to mount one. I've had good success with the Victoria Rubino line in the past but always drifted back to the stalwart Conti GP.
I ordered a 32 and 28 Rubino Pro G2.0 and have installed them on 50mm CF wheels on my Canyon Ultimate. The first ride was fine, but nothing revelatory. But then I did some research on pressure and realized I was about 10-15 psi too high. So after reducing pressure down into the 60s, rolled out for a 30 mile mid-day ride.
All I can say is ' wow. The ride was secure, fast (enough for November), plush, and several washboard sections of pavement (where I typically need to hang on for dear life) were floated over. In fact, I lost track of where I was for a while since that stretch is a typical distance milestone.
The tires look great, installed easily enough, and should function well as off-season training tires.
Highly recommended!
These are my favorite road tires for daily riding & racing. Consistent tires; no flats in 2 sets of tires over 5 years. This is my 3rd set of them in maybe 8 years just due to the mileage I put them through. The only flats I've had were due to tube valve stem leaks & not the tires. Good grip on curves & downhills at speed. I'm not super aggressive on wet roads, but no sliding when raining. Used them for 11,000 feet of climbing/descending in Colorado with no concerns.
I have used these tires in various iterations over the years, and NEVER had a flat! I ride on fairly flat roads that are blacktop and chip and seal. I usually get 6,000 miles out of them before they have to be retired. They are easy to mount on my Boyd Altamont rims that have a 19.86mm internal width for reference. The 26c width balloons out to 28mm, and the 28c width measures 31mm on my rims. They are not the fastest tires, but I do not race or compete either. Get these tires! Very dependable and bulletproof!
good product. the Rubino Pro has a long lasting tread and pretty puncture resistant
Here in Southwest Florida we deal with a a lot of debris on the roads. At the same time, we don't want to give up the ability to make good time. This Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 Road Tire works almost as well as my previous Vittoria Pro Corsa but is much more durable. I highly recommend it.
Many of my cycling buddies go with thorn resistant tires (Gator skins) and they're welcome to it. I like these tires for my road bike, they just handle better. road feel, ride quality, ease of install. And I get good mileage out of them. I rarely have flats. Of course, the 'handling and road feel' could just be some kind of front-loaded assumption on my part-- I want to believe it is true, therefore it is true. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it. What do you think? I'll review my choices for touring tires on another product review.
With over 5K miles on these 30's, I finally had a flat. The rear tire was wearing so I replaced it, original front tire still going strong.
i thought i knew how to install a tire, but these were unreasonably difficult. they appear durable, I am using them as replacements on an 80's road bike, I have about 200 miles on them and they seem pretty rugged. The thing I fear is having a flat on the road.
I am a seasoned rider and these are the first time I've purchased these tires. I instantly liked the ride quality and feel of the tires, particularly when cornering. I am playing with tire pressure still but find the ride to be comfortable and at the same time sensitive. I really like them! I'm 152 lbs and primarily ride for fun, fitness and charity events.
