Zaffiro EVO or Zaffiro rigid?

Both are Vittoria’s all-conditions training tyres for inner tubes. The Zaffiro EVO folds, uses a 1C Formulation with Graphene on a 60 TPI nylon casing and weighs a claimed 270 g in 700x28c. The Zaffiro rigid has a wire bead, a 1C Formulation on a 26 TPI nylon casing and weighs a claimed 400 g in 700x28c — Vittoria positions it as the budget-friendly option. Vittoria marks no size of either as hookless compatible.

Is the Vittoria Zaffiro hookless compatible?

No. Vittoria’s hookless compatibility table marks every size of the Zaffiro (700x25c, 700x28c, 700x30c, 700x32c) as not hookless compatible, so use it on hooked rims.

Description

The Zaffiro rigid is Vittoria’s budget-friendly all-conditions training tyre in a wire-bead tube-type construction — in Vittoria’s words, it forgoes flash for functional utility. An all-weather 1C Formulation is mated to an ultra-durable 26 TPI nylon casing built to resist rough roads in challenging conditions. It is heavier than the folding Zaffiro EVO (a claimed 400 g against 270 g in 700x28c).
