This tire doesn't disappoint. It offers a perfect balance of durability but is still light enough for quick training. It could even be a solid tire for race days.
These tires are very well made, run straight and hold up to abuse well. A great compromise of good handling and long-wearing
Pricey, but excellent speed tire. Good grip (I only ride on dry roads). Wife has 1500 miles on hers with one flat (staple). I have about 400 miles on mine, no flats slight wear. As good as my other top tire - Schwalbe One.
I've ridden several tires and these are the best i've used. They are resistant to punctures and last a really long time. Highly recommend.
These are the tires I have been using for years and I love them! I used another brand before that I was happy with, but they were a pain in the a$$ to change, especially while out on a ride. The Conti's are great tires. They are fairly puncture resistant, the last a pretty long time (I have actually gotten several thousand miles on a set), and they are easy to take off in case of a flat.
This is my second set of these tires and I have yet to have a flat.
They wear like steel but still have a comfortable ride.
Prior to these I was riding Michelin Pro 3s and constantly dealing with flat tires.
I highly recommend these Continental 4000 S ll.
These tires are awesome! Super durable, yet fast and keep you upright while navigating corners.
I used to switch to lighter tires for a long ride or race. After several flats in crucial rides, I have decided it is smarter to just stick with my tried and true GP 4000S tires, they are good for 2,500 miles without a flat.
These 25mm GP4K II's are the best clincher I've ever ridden. I weigh about 160lbs, and I've ran them as low as 72psi for the smoothest ride you can imagine (on a Trek Emonda with Enve 7.8's). They do make the bike steer a bit quicker, but after a few rides you adapt to it.
I have these tires on both my touring bike and my road bike. They are tough tires, I find numerous cuts in the tire from road debris but I rarely get flats. I use the 25mm tires and they give a comfortable and fast ride.
These tire perform well but if you are an urban rider, they surely are not worth the trouble of repairing repeated punctures.
I've been riding these for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with them. I'd been riding 23s from Vredestein for many years, so these are my first Conti tires and my first time buying 25s. Our roads in PA can be a little rough so I am enjoying the little bit higher volume tire and the overall ride quality. The reflective strip is a nice touch that really does catch the eye but I miss having some color on my tires. That is probably the only regret I have about these so far. If you want a high-quality, high-performance tire that delivers a nice ride as well as good durability, I don't think you can go wrong with this one.
Have trusted this tire for commuting and training rides for several years. Flat resistant in urban environments and on thorny desert roads in Southern Utah. Low rolling resistance for such a durable tire.
Great grip, low rolling resistance, supple ride, good puncture resistance and thread wear.
Good rolling tire . Had two flats in one day of which surprised me. I run these on two different road bikes with no problems until one particular day. Good wearing tire.
I'll buy again
I'm very loyal to there tires they are on every road bike in the garage tread life and grip are great and the roads in my island are horrible
I am very happy with these tires' durability, combined with performance. They corner extremely well, even at race speeds, and even in the rain. Being 23mm wide, the size I bought provide a minimum of rolling resistance, and they're fairly light as well, while still having the Vectran breaker belt and other layers of protection against glass, etc. I have even had these tires on singletrack for a short distance (a runwalk was taking up the bike path at that point) with no issue.
I normally get 2,000 miles out of these tires. Rolling resistance is great. An important feature is installing tires compliant with tire errors. Unfortunately, finding those arrows can be quite difficult.
The 25 is outstanding as far as puncture resistance and smooth ride
Rides very fast, stable and much more comfortable than other even other continental tires. On my 16mm inner width Ultegra and Carbon rims it measures at roughly 26.4mm at 80 PSI.
