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.
Great grip of the road; resists glass and other sharps items that can cause flats;
A beast to change/put on.
Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
I was a fan of Continental tires (routinely purchasing Gatorskins in the past).
However, when I got my first flat with this tire, I broke a tire lever removing it, and I could not remount the tire without another set of hands to assist me.
I bought two tires and returned one of them after my experience fixing the flat with the first one. I don't want to be stranded if I get a flat and no one is around to help me removing and remounting the tire.
Smooth, great grip, high quality tires.
great tire for the price considering the performance it offers
these tires are really easy to install compared to other tires too
Great tires and long-lasting but a bit pricy
Installed these before heading out on a week-long ride. Perfomed well in all conditions - wet, dry, steep and curvy downhills and even some gravel.
I ride thousands of miles a year and have used many major brands including Continental. I used the 400 for years and tried the 5000 when it came out. Great rolling resistance, smooth comfortable feel and very few punctures. I got close to 3000 miles on the rear tire and almost 6000 on the front. Great value and extremely reliable. Would recommend to any road bike rider.
Very smooth and fast tires. Confidence inspiring .
Low rolling resistance, light and tough. Just a great tire for everyday use and training. One down side is they are very, very tight to get on and off, at least on my wheels.
Excellent rolling resistance very good corner gripping
As always a great tire, grippy and fast with decent puncture protection. 1500 miles in and no issues.
The 32mm tires are buttery smooth and fast.
Great tire on all accounts, traction, handling, wear,
puncture resistance and ease of changing.
It has held up to pretty much every surface I have been on, with excellent roll and soft feel.
I've been a fan of Conti road tires for years and these are the best clincher road tires yet. They're not the most puncture proof but I rarely have problems even with the debris strewn roads of west Los Angeles. Their suppleness is excellent and they're reasonably durable.
I held off on upgrading tires, but wish I had done so sooner. I ran Conti Gatorskins 23ml for years -- I'm now 4 rides into Conti GP5000 25ml and noticed the ride quality (and speed!) difference immediately.
My go to tire for low rolling resistance, great performance and standing up to the miles'
