VredesteinFortezza TriComp(Return to Product Page)

I have tried many tires and this one seems to hold up better than most. I get fewer flats. And when you buy it on sale at BTD, it is excellent value. Worth the money. I also believe if a tire is less expensive then I feel okay with just riding it for one season and starting fresh with new tires every Spring. I'm not biking all the time. I only put 1500 -2000 miles on the bike in a season. I know that is nothing compared to many of your readers. But i am okay with throwing out the tires at the end of the season and getting new ones in the Spring. It works. I don't get many flats. And these tires ride pretty nicely. Fast and grippy enough.

Great ride, great puncture resistance and good rolling resistance. Cant beat the price.

This is an all round tire great puncture protection and control

on rides from anywhere from a short training ride to an all day ride these tires perform well on wet or dry pavement. My only complaint is they they are only available in black, bring back the gray and yellow.

Avid cyclist, riding Midhigher end road bikes for 30 years, Avg 60-100 miles weekly in season, couple races year in AZ hotter conditions (just so you can qualify rider level of this review). I believe these are a Great set of tires, been riding TriComps for several years , won't bother with anything else now (compared to Viitoria tubulars, Continental & Michelin clinchers) These are very smooth, decent flatripblowout resistance (AZ is tuff on tires!) and they perform excellently on dry terrain, tread pattern may wear smooth a little sooner than a harder compound tire but you'll easily get 2k out of a set. I typically don't ride in wet weather unless it's raining on a race day (a few times) and then I back off speed on turns in groups so I can't say I pushed to the limit on wet days - that said I never had an issue. However on dry days, I'll hammer turns and power through with no issue just like I'm on rails. I had 700x23s for years, but wanted to try 25s - I've heard good things, wanted to see first hand. I find they have just a bit softer ride & no noticeable increase in rolling resistance, very minor increase in side profile visually, if any (all of which I feared), they're still fast & look great. I understand that many pros ride wider tires (25 vs 23) and keep their speed, with just a slightly softer ride. Frankly I can barely tell - maybe a slight difference (I run at 105 PSI, ride on a stiff aero carbon frame with Easton SLX clinchers - pretty stiff setup) - I'm now sold on the 25s. I rate these very good for those who are demanding about performance & want a comfortablesolid ride in a range of road and weather conditions.

Brought to you by Bike Tires Direct the Vredestein Tri Comp is a fantastic value for a training or racing tire. It has a supple road feel and confident riding on wet or dry conditions. I've been using them for decades now, I'm afraid to say, and I've been impressed over the years by the standard of durability and consistent performance over the season even as the tire wears. I typically get at least 2,500 miles out of a set and never lose confidence with them. The tires are such a great value that I've often given them away as gifts just to get people to try them and then selling them on the concept of using Vredesteins.

Vreds are my daily ride tire, and the Fortezza Tricomp performs as well if not better than the Gran Fondo and Senso. It grips well in corners, and holds up well on garbage road conditions (we have lots of broken pavement, sand, and debris in the DC area). The thread count is lower than pricier tires, which compromises feel a bit. However, BTD's daily special pricing makes these a screaming bargain if you want a comfortable, reliable tire for commuting, training, or joyriding without breaking the bank.

Bought new pair of the Tricomps recently, and 200 miles later, the rear tire has no tread left and is completely worn. Did a semi competitive Grand Fondo and got 2 flats, front and rear. A tiny, tiny piece of glass in the rear tire penetrated the tire, and again a tiny thorn punctured the front. Keep in mind it rained the entire day before so a wet, small thorn can puncture the tricomp material. I've purchased the tricomps in the past from biketiresdirect.com bc they always have a great price, but Vredestein has changed it's formula for the tire compound and isn't the same durable tricomps I've relied on in the past.

These Tricomp are so much softer and roll better than the Senso. Glad I was able to find these since Vredestein stopped making the triComp racing line of tires.

I have ridden vredestein tires for 20 years been great tires over different weather conditions

Awesome tires. Glad these tires are back. They are a good race and training tire.

I don't race but put on this tires around 200 miles a week on long rides Saturday and Sunday and short evenings rides during a week. This tire is very durable and last several thousand miles. This tire have been my choice for many years now. Love it.

I had 2 sets of these for about 3500 miles. They were on a bike that was given to me (Time RXR Ulteam), so I rode them. After they flatted the first time, showing a fair amount of wear I replaced them with a new set. Turn in is sharp, ride is surprising good, and flat protection is outstanding. IMHO. From what I have read Vredestein had a better tire with this than the Senso which replaced it, but that based solely on what I have read.

I've used all the top end clincher road tires from the major brands. They each have slightly different strengths, but for overall performance and flat resistance, they're all in the same ballpark. The Tricomps are not quite as supple riding as some of the others but are fast with great traction and good flat protection. Since they are often less expensive than the other high end tires, I've used them a fair amount over the years. If you're looking for a while performance tire for a good price, I'd highly recommend these.

I have been using these tires for about 4 years no complaints. Sorry to see them discontinued.

Love these lightweight fast rolling tires!

I ride 8,000 miles per year and this is my go-to tire on all my road bikes. So glad they brought it back. Their line blend of speed, traction and durability is legit.

This long lasting road tire has been a favorite of mine for several years! I normally purchase the 700X23, which was out of stock, and decided to try the 700X25. Tire clearance to the bike frame is really close, but so far, so good!!

These are great tires! They have great traction and durability. I am a heavier ride (190) and these tires wear much better than other brands I have ridden. Theyre great!

Used for long distance cycling. Can count on for durability
