ContinentalDouble Fighter Iii Tyres

Well, it ought to be at $50 each for crying out loud! I only put 1 on the front of my budget hybrid bike and took a 20 mi ride. Yes, seems like a very good tire for sure! First off it only weighs 12 oz which is 11 oz lighter than the Kenda I replaced it with and is narrower even though both tires are 700x35. The Kenda was 38mm wide and this one is only 33.5mm (before taking first ride). So I thought it would make the bike feel less stable with perhaps worse handling but nope it's actually more stable handles better all around simply better. I was doing slalom/emergency type maneuvers on the street just to see how these handle and they are quite good. Feels very capable and confident. The main reason I bought one is for better rolling resistance and yep these are a noticeable improvement on bike even though I only put 1 on front wheel so far. If I get another for rear wheel I'd expect a really nice rolling bike. I started off with 85 psi but after halfway through ride reduced it to 80psi and rolling resistance improved. I then let more air out just to see but that wasn't good so looks like I'll be running 80 psi. Like others mention tire is compliant too soaks up bumps nicely.Only downside is with tire on front wheel of my hybrid bike I can't ride with no hands any more. Tire just doesn't want to do it too narrow I guess with flat bars but it wanders dangerously to either side too much with no hands. Because I ride no hands on my road bike with drop bars and narrower 30 mm tires and also did on this bike too with the 38mm Kenda although it did feel a bit sketchy so perhaps road bikes are better suited for no hands riding than hybrid bikes.Also, when I went to install tire it seemed way too big but then when I put tube on rim first with some air and put tire over it I was in business. Once it started to mount even had to let air out of tube and then tire was quite tight and struggled to get it on rim fully. I had to use metal tire levers it was definitely tight fit hard to get on but doable with some effort. Point I'm making is with this folding tire if you hold it up to rim without tube installed it appears ridiculously big for the wheel as if tire is wrong size and I was getting ready to return it. But nope the tube has to go on first with some air it to get tire started on there. So don't return it and write a review saying it's too big like I almost did. Hope this helps!Edit: tire measures 34-35mm after 100 miles so it stretched a bit and is now a true 35 I'd say. I now have these tires on both front + back of cheap hybrid bike and just did a 45 mi ride. These are definitely smooth easy rolling tires very happy with performance!

I put these on my Disc Trucker for RAGBRAI since it was going to be a hilly year, and wanted less rolling resistance tire, and they did ride smooth and quicker than the treaded 41mm treaded tires I was running. A word of caution, they will not corner as well as a bigger, treaded tire which I found out the hard way, and I got a cantaloupe sized bruise to prove it,. In the tires defense, bike, gear and rider was easily over 300 lbs, on what is a pretty tall bike, so I'm not going to ding them for the wipe-out because loaded touring is probably not quite what these bad boys were made for. That having been said, they ran great at 80 psi filled in the morning at 65 degrees and well into a rough riding day over 100 with no punctures or blow outs, so they withstood the abuse really well. I've put 400 miles on them with no issues. Will they last as long as the Marathons? No, but they come in at a fraction of the weight, and roll much quicker, so life is with trade-offs and these performed as well as I would have wanted them to.

Nice and quiet with low rolling resistance. Using with tough tire liners and have yet to have a puncture

I don't have a lot of miles on it yet but construction looks good quality and ride is quiet and quick. I would buy again. It does seem to run a little on the small side, at least compared to the panaracer 35mm I'm using on the front wheel, but I didn't measure them. Used for suburban commuting.

This would be my first purchase of folding road tires. Very easy to install (didn't even use tire levers at all). Rode 100+ miles so far with no issue. So smooth!!!

Gators are better these just look better so u decide these come in 35 to

Love these tires. I threw them on a gravel bike to do a road ride and couldn’t have been happier. Really smooth and fast with great grip for taking faster turns. The only down side is having almost no tread at all. If you hit anything slick you’re not going to regain control easily.

Review at ~1,000 miles.Pros, these things fill a void in the current tire market for wide slicks.Also, they do have admirably low rolling resistance, they are a pleasure to ride on.Cons: They are quite expensive, and have questionable durability.This is my first "GP" series tire, but I have been disappointed by how easily they pick up glass and get cut up. The puncture resistant liner does seem to work well, but after most of my rides I look over the tire to find a new set of cuts filled with little chunks of glass waiting to wear a hole through to the tube. Like both tires are really chopped up at this point, and need de-glassing and glue filling regularly.I think the nice fast rolling rubber just also has the downside of being soft and easily cut.Not sure if I would buy these again unless there was a good deal on them, think Ill look for something a bit more durable.

Purtroppo in giro per internet non c'è mezza recensione riguardo questi pneumatici, probabilmente non ci si è accorti di cosa è riuscita a fare continental.Una gomma da 35 che incredibilmente scorre come una da 25, con tutti i vantaggi del caso.La prima cosa che si avverte è la comodità, qualcosa di sconvolgente se venite da pneumatici da strada classici che hanno pressioni di utilizzo che vanno dai 7 agli 8 bar con camera d'aria, mentre questi lavorano tra i 5 e i 7. Tutti i pezzi di asfalto rovinato, granuloso, sconnesso e quelli in cemento battuto sembreranno ricoperti di velluto.La seconda è l'assorbimento degli urti come quando si passa su pezzi di asfalto spaccato o tombini. Naturalmente non è come avere delle sospensioni ma queste gomme potrebbero evitare qualche volta in più di spaccarvi la schiena se non riuscite ad alzare il sedere in tempo.Infine c'è l'impronta a terra utilissima in curva e su fondi bagnati, che vi darà una fiducia molto superiore rispetto ai gommini classici da strada.L'unico scotto da pagare è un peso di 350g per pneumatico, contro i classici 250g circa che possono pesare gli pneumatici da 25. Cosa che potrebbe puzzare a chi fa tanta salita e ha tanta gamba per fare continui rilanci in stile tira e molla, ma quel tipo di ciclista non cercherà mai nella vita queste gomme.A mio parere è una mezza rivoluzione, che potrebbe portare una comodità mai vista o pensata dai ciclisti su strada, utile due volte anche considerando lo stato pietoso in cui versano le nostre povere strade.

Der Reifen ist eigentlich ganz gut allerdings hab ich sehr lange auf den Reifen gewartet. An sich ist das schon zu verkraften, allerdings hab ich auf schlauchlos umgebaut und habe jetzt gesehen das die Reifen leider nicht so dicht sind! Alles in allem keine Empfehlung für mich!
