Can't expect anything less than excellent from Continental

Great on pavement - can't tell a difference between my road 28s. Haven't tried them on gravel yet

Thank you for your feedback.

The Best Gravel Tire (if you can't run a MTB tire)

Mount up a tad shy of 45 but roll fast especially for having some small knobs

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast Rolling and Grippy

I ordered the 40 c size , and they are fast and grippy . I recommend them ! I ordered the size 45 c for more comfort. I was hoping the 40s would be a larger than my stock Pathfinder Proa size 38c. But No so extra money ?? spent of this

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires with low rolling resistance

I bought these because their rolling resistance is among the lowest of gravel tires, and they were also some of the most aerodynamic according to one test. Great choice for gravel racing. The knobs are very short so this would not be a good tire for really loose or rough surfaces, but they are fast on gravel and pavement. They've also withstood some pretty chunky stuff without flats yet (set up tubeless with sealant).

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast and supple, wears quickly

Had these in 40mm size on my gravel bike. They were set up tubeless, and I had no trouble mounting them. The were great in all conditions, from hard pack to pea stone to chunky gravel. These were the softest and grippiest tires I've used on my gravel bike, and really comfy. After about 900 miles (my rides are 40% paved, 60% dirt), the nubs wore down to the casing, and dozens of tiny pinprick holes wept sealant along the entire contact patch of the tire. Curiously, they didn't lose pressure. It looked odd, but the performance didn't suffer. I will buy these again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast rolling in the right conditions

As a big GP5000 S TR fan, I wanted to try a gravel tire with the Black Chili compound. These are very fast on road and light gravel, with a decent level of grip when things get loose (as long as it's dry). I am 150 lbs and run the 40mm version between 30-40ish psi depending on conditions.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast Gravel Option

Good option for a fast gravel tire or even all road tire. The puncture tread is decent, but I did have a sidewall puncture which required replacement. The casing on one tire also developed a wobble which I think was from over inflation and not a quality issue. Even with these issues they are still great and fast tires. I've not had mileage issues either

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast G bike tire

I've got about 200miles on them & I expect the rear to last about 450 miles. Fast & great grip for gravel & appalachian singletrack. Gonna stick with them for sure. I am running rear vittoria insert.

Love these tires

Affordable alternative to rene herse. These tires are light and supple with plenty of grip and a smooth ride on pavement. I've converted most of my bikes over and have run them tubeless and with tubes. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good fast rolling gravel tires. Great for racing.

Put these on for a gravel race and they performed very well. The tires roll fast and smooth on the road but offer enough grip to tackle a variety of gravel. The only issue was setting them up tubeless on my rims. Even after reseating them 3 times the tires still had a noticeable amount of wobble to them. Could just be the rims though, or I got a bad batch.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent gravel tires

I've been riding these for the past 3-4 months so far on a combination of dirt roads, single-track, and paved road. The tires mounted easily on my G23 wheels and have held air pressure well using Stan's No Tubes sealant. I have had zero punctures so far which is fantastic given the relatively light weight of these tires. Traction on dry dirt is very good. These tires roll very well on pavement and on smooth gravel. The price is good given the high quality.

Thank you for your feedback.

Several tiny pinhole leaks

Tires ride well and felt good, but quickly (less than 2 months) developed several tiny pin hole leaks on the very edges of the knobs that sealant wouldn't fill. Wouldn't recommend. Going back to the Terra trail

Best off road gravel tire

This is my go-to tire for true off-road gravel riding. Dirt/fire roads are where this tire excels. Handles well and has never slipped. The rolling resistance is low enough that it can be used on road, too. Excellent puncture resistance.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good rolling on tarmac, decent grip on firm mud

Fitted these to a pair of ENVE G23 rims. They slipped on without tools or swearing, but I was surprised that they inflated to 38mm on these rims most tires end up wider than specified - not narrower. Still running them with inner tubes, so can't comment on tubeless setup issues.

I've been riding on this setup on muddy but reasonably firm gravel. Despite the shallower tread (to get that extra speed), the grip has been surprisingly good, even up the steep slopes of one of our local cyclocross courses.

Thank you for your feedback.

Better than expected.

I ordered Continental Terra Speed Gravel 700c Tire in a pinch because other preferred tires were not available. To my surprise they handled gravel very well, on asphalt rolled fast handled corners extremely well on fast decents 40+mph

Great all around gravel racing tire

Very pleased overall. Mounted tubeless to Zipp 303 firecrest wheels with Silca Ultimate sealant. Tires went on easily and sealed quickly without the need for my air compressor. Riding on pavement, dirt roads, and mixed gravel roads the tire does well. It is definitely a compromise tire between a file tread and something with large knobs but I think this tire strikes a good balance.

Thank you for your feedback.

Love these tires

The paved roads around here are not in good condition. I use these tubeless at low pressure (<40psi). The ride is comfortable and not slow. The small knobs provide adequate grip for riding the gravel roads in my area. The roads are mostly dirt with embedded rock and not much in the way of deep loose rock. I get a little over 2000 miles on a set with mostly riding pavement.

Thank you for your feedback.
