A lot of money for a band that doesn't seem very special
Bought for my road bike, for some worse road surfaces. Nice tyre, but really almost impossible to get on the rim the first time. Almost impossible to do. Once that's done, it does manage to change a tyre.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Good tyre but valve turned loose too easily
Happy with it in itself, but the valve turned loose far too easily on me, causing me problems with a small pump.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Good quality, miss the thread on the valve
No screw thread on valve so no tightening ring to pull it tight into your rim, so can on noise read vibration while cycling, downside

Neutral; I am not a gram weigher but this one is not one of the lightest I have driven. But do I notice anything? For a time trial/triathlon I do put a latex tire in it. But other than that, if you get a puncture, it doesn't cost a fortune, and as a frequent rider that's worth something to me.

Continental should take a closer look at its products
The valve needs to be redesigned; it unscrews too often during inflation.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Tire punctures quickly, does not run very well.
Better latex biba than this overpriced biba

Continental fine tires
Continental excellent tires. The inner tube for 25-32 mm is very large to carry as spare tires though. no 2 fit in my saddlebag at the same time.
Pros & Cons

Often leak when changing. Inner valve often loose
After inflating and unscrewing my my HP pump 9 times out of 10 the inner valve comes loose. Tried on the road with gas cartridges but when filling too fast the inner tube snaps due to freezing around the valve. Switched to another brand to see if this goes better.
