This tire is a great balance between light weight and puncture protection. I use it on my Cannondale hybrid bike, and get excellent millage also.
I used these for Ironman Wisconsin. Much of the road surfaces were rather poor. And the railroad tracks were worse than the ones I’ve crossed in the Pittsburgh area. There were many flat tires on the bike course, and I’m very thankful to say I wasn’t one of them! These tires held up wonderfully!!
I have about 500 mi. on these tires so far. The grip and ride feel are great. I've got over 50,000 mi. on various bikes and tires. These are a great tire for the money.
Smooth rolling and tough as nails
I've been riding on this tire from its beginning, it meets all the needs of experienced riders. It's trusted, reliable and comfortable.
I have been using the Continental Grand Prix tires for several years now. This newest version seems to work well. I will continue to keep buying them. I have used them with Latex tubes in the past and they work very well. Currently I am trying the Tubolito tubes which are working well with these tires. Not quite the same ride feel as with the Latex tubes though.
Better puncture protection for my needs than any other tire I have used that rolls this well. The compound also feels very grippy versus other similar racing/training tires. Tread wear far surpasses cotton casing tires for a tire that isn't very slower in use by my estimates.
Excellent good traction and long lasting
This is a great tire. It has great traction, really sticks to the road in curves, and is pretty resistant to flats.
Moved to these tires from the 4000S. These tires seem to be a bit faster (or I am a little fitter). There is an increase in speed with these tires. The black chili rubber is sticky and sticks very well in the corners. I cannot comment on the puncture protection, so far they are holding up well.
Reliable, low rolling resistance and lightweight.
The best allrounder in the field, brought to a whole new performance level. Ride faster, more comfortable, and with increased puncture protection. Made to make you better.
Been riding these for years and they haven't failed me yet
I use them for group rides. I don't like getting flats, so I use Conti tires and tubes.
Then only tire I race and train on. Ever since nobody is racing on tubulars anymore.
I can't think of a better all around tire.
Great quality fast tires on open road and light!!
Nice rolling resistance and quite puncture resistant. Nice durability as well.
This is basically the brand and model where I see most of my cycling friends use. Decided to try it out and so far so good. Handles better than what I had. Nothing technical in this review. I average at least 100 miles a week for this spring/ summer time so I definitely ride it out.
Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
Great tire. I use tubes and very few flats. Rolls and grips well. Mileage varies dependent on terrain but got about 4,000 out of my last set.
