Review on Enhance Your Performance with the Continental Ultra Sport III Road Cycling Bike Tire by Josh Clifton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Faster and easier to pedal.

LOVE these tires, especially for the price. The rolling resistance is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the hybrid tires my wife had on her bike. These were branded hybrid tires but still a big improvement for these ultra sports. I spotted it on a 1.5 mile loop back to back and saw a 19 percent time savings. If you're not interested in speed, that means easier pedaling for the occasional ride, or longer rides before you tire, or more miles without charging on an electric bike. It could still ride on packed gravel and hard loam, but was less comfortable than the hybrid tires. As we age, we become more honest with ourselves about how much we actually ride off-road and are very happy with those tarmac tires that we use more and more when riding. I also bought a manual chassis. I got on a racing bike and, out of curiosity, rode the loop back-to-back on my mountain bike. It was 40 PERCENT REDUCED in time and a lot less tiring.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
