Low puncture rate.
It's simply the best butyl tube I can find. The ride quality isn't as good as latex but far better than a standard tube. They hold air much better than latex over time as well. If you cannot or won't run latex tubes I find this to be the very next best option. My 2nd favorite in use daily tube.
I've Continental rubes and tires for years - in my opinion, and based on my experience, they're bulletproof.
I use this with road bikes mostly 28mm tires (conti GP5000 and panaracer GravelKing)and one 1 1/4 tire (panaracer pasela). These tubes are super. Easy to install, great quality and good balance of weight and puncture resistance. Just did the Cino ride with no flats
My go to road tube. They�re lightweight and will actually hold air! Supple and comfortable to ride. I ride 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year.
Bought four of these, got two flats on two consecutive rides for no apparent reason. Valve misfunctioned on the third one when I replaced the second flat, so all of my CO2 went into space, leaving me in the middle of freaking nowhere and having to ride 10km home on the rim. NOT HAPPY. The fourth one is already in the trash can. You can bet I won't make this mistake again.
These tubes are noticeably heavier than others, but paired with Conti tires, I noticeably have fewer flats. Most of my rides are long training efforts. I'll take the weight and fewer flats hands down.
As long as I stay off glass and nails, these tubes have worked fine. I do find that keeping them inflated just below. The max works best for me.
Good tubes, good price.
I bought these two tubes for touring. They were basically worthless as neither one would hold air. Having to pump them up every four hours due to leaky valves was a real hassle. I will never buy Continental tubes again.
Used mostly for road riding and some cyclocross rides.
This used to be my go to tube, NOT anymore. The last 3 tubes have all burst at the seams, litterally. All after being ridden for only a few days. Not sure if I got a bad batch but not worth trying these again.
Excellent overall inner tube. Good for training or racing. Relatively light with a good price.
it is a totally reliable tube. no problems or unexpected issues
I only use continental Gator Skins and their variations as tires and figure it's best to match tubes !! I've had very good luck with both, maybe 3 or 4 flats in ten years. They do lose a little more air than some of their competitors but the fact they last as long as they do and are puncture resistant - makes me a return buyer !!
I had one go down during a 100k about 25 miles into ride. Couldn't find any obvious reason, however I was trying Stan's in it,made a large mess so had to discard instead of taking home to investigate
I bought a couple of these and haven't had an issues yet.
Love Continental Tires, easy to pull in case of flat. Many cyclists I ride with all are big fans of the Continental!
I ride daily and check air pressure every time before I ride, these hardly loose any pressure in a couple days, then its just a pound or two that I need to add. I run at 110 lbs. and they work great!!!!
This Conti tube has nice thick material and fits my wide, 52 mm carbon wheels with plenty of stem to pump them up. I like the removable valve core that cheaper tubes don't have. I like them better than Conti's big M competitor's tubes.
