Review on Continental Speed RIDE Fahrrad Reifen 42-622 - Optimal Traction for 28×1,60´´ Bicycles by Andrew Schobinger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These tires are game changers.

So I have the Cannondale Quick, a lightweight gravel, hybrid/road, training, adventure, and commuting bike. I've been riding this 700x32 bike for probably ten years now. High pressure, super stiff and not really far off the tarmac. I got these and some Conti hoses a week ago and set everything up on the bike with no fuss. THESE TIRES ARE WHAT THIS BIKE NEEDS ALL THE TIME. Where I live/drive, apart from the main streets, most of the pavement is covered in gravel and rubbed stone everywhere. These tires perform great on the track. I used the recommended 50psi pressure and now I have a bike that can accelerate on tarmac, corner on grated things, and distance on chewed up, rough pavement.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • The list will be long.
