I've got about 200miles on them & I expect the rear to last about 450 miles. Fast & great grip for gravel & appalachian singletrack. Gonna stick with them for sure. I am running rear vittoria insert.
Affordable alternative to rene herse. These tires are light and supple with plenty of grip and a smooth ride on pavement. I've converted most of my bikes over and have run them tubeless and with tubes. Highly recommended.
Put these on for a gravel race and they performed very well. The tires roll fast and smooth on the road but offer enough grip to tackle a variety of gravel. The only issue was setting them up tubeless on my rims. Even after reseating them 3 times the tires still had a noticeable amount of wobble to them. Could just be the rims though, or I got a bad batch.
Gravel racing and training. Excellent and far superior to anything else.
I mounted these up as a bigger option to run instead of my usual Pathfinder Pros in 38c. These measure 45mm wide on a 25 ird rim. I was quite happy with the feel, responsiveness, and overall confidence they give me without feeling their size or weight at all (not that it's much different.) I also use them with a tire insert so I can comfortably ride them at 30-33psi. Great tire all around!
I would think that Continental would have better quality control than this :(
The tire runs out or wobbles when inflated on the rim.
Terra speed is a fast, tough tire, & mixed pavement doesn't burn them up too quick. Not the best tire for wet singletrack, but gravel, mixed, & dry trails, it is hard to beat.
Tires ride well and felt good, but quickly (less than 2 months) developed several tiny pin hole leaks on the very edges of the knobs that sealant wouldn't fill. Wouldn't recommend. Going back to the Terra trail
This is my go-to tire for true off-road gravel riding. Dirt/fire roads are where this tire excels. Handles well and has never slipped. The rolling resistance is low enough that it can be used on road, too. Excellent puncture resistance.
Seems tough enough and def fast. Recommended.
I use this on my gravel race wheels. It was super easy to mount and it wears well.
I ordered Continental Terra Speed Gravel 700c Tire in a pinch because other preferred tires were not available. To my surprise they handled gravel very well, on asphalt rolled fast handled corners extremely well on fast decents 40+mph
I bought these for the low rolling resistance and decent flat protection. The rolling resistance feels good, I have yet to experience any flats and the tread seems to hold well on loose over hard.
The sidewall in one of them has been weeping pretty hard. But that's not uncommon for tires.
Great on pavement - can't tell a difference between my road 28s. Haven't tried them on gravel yet
Very pleased overall. Mounted tubeless to Zipp 303 firecrest wheels with Silca Ultimate sealant. Tires went on easily and sealed quickly without the need for my air compressor. Riding on pavement, dirt roads, and mixed gravel roads the tire does well. It is definitely a compromise tire between a file tread and something with large knobs but I think this tire strikes a good balance.
Mount up a tad shy of 45 but roll fast especially for having some small knobs
The paved roads around here are not in good condition. I use these tubeless at low pressure (<40psi). The ride is comfortable and not slow. The small knobs provide adequate grip for riding the gravel roads in my area. The roads are mostly dirt with embedded rock and not much in the way of deep loose rock. I get a little over 2000 miles on a set with mostly riding pavement.
Ive tried a bunch of gravel so far and these are my absolute favorite. Easy to mount tubeless, low rolling resistance, and durable enough to last all seaso. Highly recommend!
The tire doesnt impress me. The nubs feel like they might as well not be there at all with how little grip the tire has on loose over hard terrain. I dont feel like the rolling resistance efficiency on the road makes up for the lack of traction where it is important. I rather have a smooth file tread or a more grippy all-rounder, but not a middle ground that doesnt excel in either area.
Excellent service with fast shipping. Would recommend to all my friends!
