Technology
The SafetySystem Breaker layer consists of Kevlar and a strong nylon fabric. Puncture and rip resistant, but still light and flexible. Without more weight or more rolling resistance the carcass still protects against sharp objects and contributes to the durability of the tyre. Tyres with the SafetySystem Breaker are also very comfortable.Compatibility

Insufficient wet grip
Replaced worn-out rear tyre (SpeedKing) with this cheaper ContactSpeed. Crashed on 1st ride in the wet. Far too little grip, this tyre is going off my bike. Better to spend a few extra tens for a better rubber compound with more grip, more safety and less damage to skin and clothing.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Perfect all-round tyre for commuting.
Perfect tyre for commuting. Meanwhile due for 2nd set since 2019. Even in black ice and snow good grip, provided adjusted tyre pressure
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Top band
Extremely good tyre that bolts very smoothly
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very nice tyre at a very good price
The tyre is easy to fit and has very low rolling resistance. Steers easier at higher speeds (25/35 km/h) than at lower speeds (10/15 km/h). I notice no difference in grip between wet and dry weather. Even when steering hard, the tyre remains stable. A very small downside (if you can call it that) is that the tyre is very sensitive to tyre pressure. As soon as the pressure drops (below 3 bar), the tyre starts 'searching'. But as long as I keep them between 4 and 5 bar, there is nothing wrong.
