Insufficient wet grip

- Bart, 1 April, 2024

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

Not expensive
Runs light
Too little grip

Very nice tyre at a very good price

- Rutger, 6 December, 2023

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.

Pros & Cons

Good grip in dry and wet weather
Light rolling resistance
Stable, does not sag when cornering
Very sensitive to tyre pressure

- Damien, 31 August, 2022

Around 500km driven, good grip on dry asphalt, a bit of wet roads, ok too. Haven't had a chance to test it on wet roads yet. I'm satisfied, the price is good and the tread is thick enough to prevent punctures. To be seen over time.

Fast all-rounder

- Rowan, 19 December, 2021

Tyre does for me what it needs to do, cycle all year, commute with it. +/-9000km per year and can last exactly a year with this tyre. Gives me good grip even when it is slippery. Tyre also has little rolling resistance, feels fast even when cornering. I have tested quite a few sets of tyres but this is already my 3rd set.

Pros & Cons

Fast tyre for daily use
Good grip, tyre gives me a lot of confidence

Great tyre until you need grip in the wet

- Jeroen, 10 September, 2021

In dry conditions, a fine tyre that rolls well but the grip is just fine. In the rain, however, it loses grip all at once without warning, causing me to skid across the tarmac into the verge at 30 km/h. I no longer have confidence with these tyres in the rain.

Pros & Cons

Cheap
Rolling resistance
Slick
Wet grip!!!

Good tyre but no reflector.

- R., 4 July, 2021

Fine tyre to fit, lifespan remains to be seen of course. In any case, it cycles fine! The tyre does not have a white reflector stripe on the sides. I hadn't paid attention when selecting it. I thought this is still compulsory?

Pros & Cons

Neat tyre, easy to fit
the tyre does not have a white reflector ring (watch out!

Tough black strap, looks great on black Trek Dublin

- Simon, 29 May, 2021

Nice rolling tyre that gives great grip and control both wet and dry. Comfortable due to its size. And the thick anti-puncture layer gives confidence that a bit of glass or other sharp things won't immediately result in a flat tyre.

Good grip and control
Good price

Quick service, items arrived well packed. The tyres themselves are amazing. Hardly any rolling resistance and well made. My hybrid is now faster and smoother on the road.

Pros & Cons

Low rolling resistance
Challenge to put on, tight on rims.

5 / 5

Superb grip on the road and trusted off-road. Used on my Revolt 1.

- Angel Luis Gonzalez, 18 August, 2020

Superb grip on dry road, super quiet, and great on rain too, as it dries super quickly. Off-road, as long as you are not going nuts, it will do the job; on grassy or muddy paths it gives you enough grip to feel confident, but you won't go over steep inclines if you stand on the pedals and place your weight off the back wheel - tested ;)

Great Grip

Very comfortable

- Michal, 12 April, 2019

Much more comfy than a standard road tyre but still fast rolling. I put these on my 2019 specialized diverge adventure bike and so far it’s been brilliant. Definitely worth considering if you are looking for more comfort

Pros & Cons

42c is very comfortable
Fast rolling
Won’t fit every bike so check your clearance
