ContinentalTerra Speed Gravel 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

Excellent service with fast shipping. Would recommend to all my friends!

Rolls fast on smoother stuff. Just enough grip when you need it. I also use it to race CX in dry grass courses

The tire doesnt impress me. The nubs feel like they might as well not be there at all with how little grip the tire has on loose over hard terrain. I dont feel like the rolling resistance efficiency on the road makes up for the lack of traction where it is important. I rather have a smooth file tread or a more grippy all-rounder, but not a middle ground that doesnt excel in either area.

Tire is fast, good traction but high wear rate. Developed a slow leak, put in the bathtub to check. Had a about a dozen pinhole leaks in an area of two inches. Had plenty of sealant in the tire, but wouldn't stop these tiny leaks. No cuts or holes on the outside of tire in area of these pinhole leaks, weird. Can't recommend it!!!

A good balance between road and gravel, these tires roll well on asphalt, but a bit noisy. Dont expect long mileage, these tires wear pretty quickly. I run these tubeless with slime. On gravel they ride smooth with fair traction.

Ive been running the 40 mm with latex tubes inflated at 33 psi front, 35 psi rear on a mix of gravel and pavement (I weigh 160 pounds). They measure 40 mm wide mounted on HED Ardennes Plus rims. Theyre supple and about as fast on pavement as the Challenge Gravel Grinder Race 38s, but have much better grip and balance on loose gravel. They also feel fast on gravel, and are almost as secure on rough and rutted sections as the Panaracer Gravel King 43s running at about the same pressures. Compared to the Gravel Kings, they have a much lighter feel, partly because theyre each about 100 g lighter. I havent yet tested the Terra Speeds on a loose sandy surfaces or significant mud, so cant comment on performance in those conditions. I like the Terras enough that Ive just ordered a third to keep around as a spare.

Have these on my Boone on an Aeolus Pro 3 TLR wheelset. Mounting was pretty straightforward, I used Orange Endurance sealant. I had a slow leak in my front tire, but after a few rides the leak stopped. Ridden at 50psi, these are great on a well traveled dirt road, an old dirt and gravel road without smooth tracks or on pavement. I rode up a local mountain (in the Berkshires) after a rainstorm, so the dirt turned to mud but I didn't experience wheel slip or get stuck. I got the 35mm version, and thought initially I should have gone with the 40, but these have been fast, grippy, and great.

They work good - fast and traction - no punctures - but sidewall wear is real.

I use the Terra tires on gravel 1 & 2 levees and dirt roads as well as road group rides.

Best gravel tires I have ever ridden!! Great grip.

Not a ton of grip on loose stuff but they sure do roll fast. They also wear quick.

This has been a great tire fore dirt road and light trail riding with low rolling resistance and a plush ride. They tend to 'weep' a bit through the carcass, but not enough to loose sealant or air. They wear pretty quickly, but that is a fair price to pay for the ride quality. Unfortunately, the last two I purchased had a defect causing a side to side wobble which Continental readily replaced after i contacted them. This also happened previously on a 650b Terra Speed as well. Hopefully, Continental can fix their quality control issues in which case i would give this tire 5 stars.

Terra speed is a fast, tough tire, & mixed pavement doesn't burn them up too quick. Not the best tire for wet singletrack, but gravel, mixed, & dry trails, it is hard to beat.

I use this on my gravel race wheels. It was super easy to mount and it wears well.

I mounted these up as a bigger option to run instead of my usual Pathfinder Pros in 38c. These measure 45mm wide on a 25 ird rim. I was quite happy with the feel, responsiveness, and overall confidence they give me without feeling their size or weight at all (not that it�s much different.) I also use them with a tire insert so I can comfortably ride them at 30-33psi. Great tire all around!

Ive tried a bunch of gravel so far and these are my absolute favorite. Easy to mount tubeless, low rolling resistance, and durable enough to last all seaso. Highly recommend!

I bought these for the low rolling resistance and decent flat protection. The rolling resistance feels good, I have yet to experience any flats and the tread seems to hold well on loose over hard.

The sidewall in one of them has been weeping pretty hard. But that's not uncommon for tires.

Fast, grippy, durable, easy setup. My favorite for a while now. Yes the Black Chili compound is worth it.

I have taken these tires off road and have been very impressed with traction. On road performance is pretty good too.
