ContinentalSpeed Ride Tire (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

Good rolling tire.

i took my bike mechanic's advice, he rides with these on his bike, so i'm trying them after years with schwalbe. both brands are outstanding, highly recommended by me.

These tires encourage me to travel off the beaten path, but give little protection against punctures. I already took them off and went back to my old tires.

Bought the 700x35c for my Litespeed Blue Ridge to use on dirt road rides. The best tire I ever used for D2R2, incredible grip on the dirt roads and able to out roll other cross bikes on descents, some with heavy road tires. No flats to date and with all the rocks I have hit, there are no cuts.

Following low traffic routes takes me on less well maintained pavement and dirt roads. These tires are good at any price and excellent when you consider their price. I would like to try a 42mm version of the folding Ultra Sport II though. That would be even faster and more supple.

Bought the 42mm for local gravelfire roads and they work great. Was pleasantly surprised when they also excelled in the recent Portland snow. Ran them at lower pressure and the width and thousands(?) of edges on the tread gripped all the snow and ice. No noticeable wear and tear or flats after a few hundred miles. Would definitely buy again.

Have the 42s. Super tire using on my cross bike mainly riding roads. Ride real nice and fast for style tire. When riding with groups I don't feel as if I'm giving up anything to my buddies riding road bikes. As another reviewer stated, this tire rolls. On downhills as fast most road tires. Well buy again.

I love my speed ride 42's. They have opened up a world o access to gravel and dirt roads in my community. I bought a second set to put on my wife's bike because they smooth out rough roads and increase confidence.

Bought this tire for my winter riding on cross bike. So far it has not disappointed. Mostly on roads, but its been solid on gravel, hardpack, even some light snow. Just the amount of rubber under foot, adds to the confidence when on questionable surface. Durable to date as well. No complaints, would recommend.

8 Miles in on inaugural ride and down goes the front. Suprised me as all my other continental puncture resistant tires never went down until I wore them down. Love the tread pattern and the ride so comfy and faster than expected.

Easy to mount, rolls great on pavement and transitions to gravel roads easily. Run 50lbs on mostly paved roads , little less when gravel predominates.

Bought to try a wider tire on my cross bike. Was pleasantly surprised how fast, smooth and resiliant they are. Worked great on a tour over dirt, gravel, and long road miles. Fast on the road and gave good confidence on wet dirt road descents.

I tried it out on my ebike and it fit on the front but was too wide for the rear.
