Vittoria Randonneur trail II
Price: 
£14.99

Vittoria Randonneur Trail are the closest I’ve come to genuinely competent dual-use tyres, capable of slicing through the singletrack and frolicking in the forests without being overly ponderous over asphalt. Perfect for off the beaten track expedition touring, the 700c siblings (35 and 38mm) lend themselves to cross bikes doubling as winter trainers/playthings. However, 1800g (pr) is quite considerable-especially in terms of rotating weight so urban terrorists and bikes on calorie-controlled diets should look elsewhere.

Road.cc verdict: 
Great go-anywhere touring rubber but some will baulk at the weight penalty
Road.cc rating: 
8
Weight:
