Vittoria Hypers (again)

[Scunnered]

I have a brand new unused 700x35c Voyager Hyper that I want to sell or swap for a 700x32c. Anyone interested? Send me a PM.

Can anyone recommend a supplier my usual place Rose bikes are sold out of hypers

Planet X (never the same prices two days running! )

I may buy a few more 38s if/when the prices drop again!

SJS still list them (35c only) for £15.99:-

Don't wait too long. Vittoria have discontinued them according to their website.

Damn,that's shame

Once stocks have depleted, what next ? Schwalbe Marathon Supreme's ??

I reported this last November:-

We'll need to stock up as Voyager Hypers are no longer listed in Vittoria's catalogue,even a search on their website came up with a ''no results found''
Their Randonneur Pros aren't listed either and their "urban" and touring tyres are all on 30TPI casings
A sad day for those of us who value a really nice supple high quality wide section tyre

I don't know if it is of any significance but they are still listed on the Italian version of their website (plus Japanese & Thai too).

That's a very positive post Rick,thanks

It wouldn't be the first time that a manufacturer's website doesn't completely cover their range of products! (I seem to remember that SKS don't list a version of their mudguards that is, in fact, still available but only for the UK market.)

I said this a lot earlier in this string but no-one seemed interested, perhaps because there seems to be a bit of resistance on this forum to the big manufacturers, but here goes again. Specialized own brand tyres apparently are made by Vittoria. I have used the All Conditions Armadillo folding tyre on several bikes for the last 6 years and don't have a bad word to say about them. The wet grip is superb and rolling resistance is low as they have dual compound rubber facings on shoulders and the centre. And if your club has a deal with the local Specialized shop, as mine has, I get 10% off marked price.

Seems planetx has these back in again. May see if I can squeeze some on my audax. It's probably been said on this thread before but how do the voyager hypers compare to marathon supremes?

Back in stock? They have had "lots in stock" in all size for months. The prices seems to be a bit volatile but even those have been state for a while.

Similar handling and rolling resistance as far as I can tell having used both. I've read the Vittorias have a thinner tread so would wear out faster on a long tour. Apart from that I can't see past the Vittorias. Similar performance for much less cash.

But are they made in the same sizes as Hypers? It's the comfort of Hypers combined with low rolling resistance that makes them good. In fact I think I prefer the 35s over the 32s.
