Looks interesting. I've had bad experiences with Vittoria Corsa tires, though. They're very good on dry roads, but I have found them lethal on wet roads. They simply lose grip early and suddenly. Maybe that's something they have tried to change with Isogrip?
Edit: Also, usually the Vittoria Corsa tires don't do too well aerodynamically. I don't know if the Triathlon is any better.
If you're referring to CX models, I have to say that I personally don't like the CX treads...neither the compound, nor the "file tread" on the sides. Both seem to me to make that tire a less than stellar cornering choice.
The SL type tread, along with what appear to be the predeccessors (i.e. the Bontrager RXL Pro Open, and the S-Works Mondo Open) isn't like that IME.
BTW, I thought that the 23C SLs I bought have the "isogrip" nomenclature on them. I'll check later...
