Road and gravel goodness from California <\/p>

By George Scott\n \t\t<\/p>

\n\n

We\u2019re at Sea Otter, the sun-drenched trade show in Monterey, California, where the cycling world has descended for the first major get-together of the year \u2013 and that means new tech.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already kicked off our coverage with Tom Marvin\u2019s day one round-up of MTB highlights<\/a>, as well as a close look at Bridge Bike Works\u2019 carb0n-moulded bottom bracket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s time for our first run-down of drop-bar highlights, including an under-the-radar gravel bike from Pinarello, rim brake wheels from Boyd, stand-out kit from Attaqeur and an unreleased road tyre from Vittoria.<\/p>\n

Pinarello Granger X gravel bike<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a new-but-not-new gravel bike from Pinarello: the Granger X.<\/p>\n

This, we\u2019re told by Pinarello\u2019s representative, was added to the range at the back-end of 2023 but slipped under the radar, given the recent launches of Pinarello\u2019s Dogma X<\/a> and Dogma F<\/a> road bikes, as well as the Nytro e-road bike<\/a>. It\u2019s been a busy few months for the Italian brand.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
It\u2019s a more versatile approach to gravel, with top tube and mudguard mounts.<\/span><\/figcaption> George Scott \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The Granger X joins the range as Pinarello\u2019s second-tier gravel bike, sitting beneath the Grevil F<\/a>. That\u2019s how Pinarello\u2019s nomenclature now works, with F (Dogma F, Grevil F) signifying the flagship bikes and the F endurance range (Dogma F, Granger X) coming next.<\/p>\n

Think of the Grevil F as the company\u2019s go-fast gravel bike, with a Dogma-inspired frame shape, whereas the Granger X takes a more practical approach.<\/p>\n

The Granger\u2019s frame is made from Pinarello\u2019s Toray T600 carbon fibre, has top tube and mudguard mounts, and uses a round seatpost, so you can fit a gravel dropper<\/a>. There\u2019s clearance for 50mm tyres (or 2.2in with 650b wheels<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The bike we saw on display at Sea Otter<\/a>, with Shimano GRX 600,<\/a> costs $3,800.<\/p>\n

Vittoria Corsa Pro Control tyre<\/h2>\n
\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Vittoria looks set to launch the Corsa Pro Control, alongside the Corsa Pro.<\/span><\/figcaption> George Scott \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

We\u2019ve known for months<\/a> now that Vittoria has a new road race tyre, the Corsa Pro, on the way.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been ridden extensively on the WorldTour circuit \u2013 with wins at Milan\u2013San Remo and Paris\u2013Roubaix under Mathieu van der Poel<\/a> \u2013 even if it hasn\u2019t yet been officially released by Vittoria.<\/p>\n

However, with the new Corsa Pro on show at Sea Otter (a public show, not just a trade-only affair), a release is surely imminent.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
We\u2019ve known about the Corsa Pro for months, even if it\u2019s yet to be officially launched.<\/span><\/figcaption> George Scott \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

What we didn\u2019t know, is that Vittoria will offer a second version: the Corsa Pro Control.<\/p>\n

Vittoria\u2019s Control line typically offers more puncture protection, so in the current range, there\u2019s the Corsa race tyre and the Corsa Control equivalent.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The Corsa Pro Control has a disrupted herringbone tread pattern. The tyre is likely to offer additional puncture protection compared to the regular Corsa Pro.<\/span><\/figcaption> George Scott \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

While Vittoria\u2019s representatives are remaining tight-lipped we can assume the same here, with the Corsa Pro likely to be the race-day tyre and the Corsa Pro Control a racy everyday option, with additional puncture and\/or sidewall protection.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The regular Corsa Pro has a more minimalist tread pattern.<\/span><\/figcaption> George Scott \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The tread pattern differs, too, with the Corsa Pro Control swapping in a disrupted herringbone tread on the outer edge of the tread, compared to the Corsa Pro\u2019s more minimalist tread.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
It looks like Vittoria will continue to support narrower sizes with the Corsa Pro.<\/span><\/figcaption> George Scott \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

We also saw a Corsa Pro on display in a 24c size, so we can be confident that Vittoria will confident to support narrower sizes with this new tyre, as well as the 28-32c tyres we\u2019ve spotted on the pro scene so far this year.<\/p>\n

With one-piece, aero-shaped cockpits now all the rage, K-Edge is having to offer a number of subtly-different mounts to suit the handlebars of individual bike brands.<\/p>\n

Expect to see this Roval option on show at the Giro d\u2019Italia, with availability following thereafter.<\/p>\n

Cane Crake describes the mount as a modular option, with the ability to fit it in four positions: via the top or bottom stem bolts, and, thanks to the mount\u2019s flippable body, angled either up or down.<\/p>\n
