Product Description

Continental has introduced a Vectran breaker and Black Chili compound to the Attack/Force tire set. The tread design was also improved with water channels on the shoulders and a fast slick center tread. The front tire has a 22mm width for speed and cornering control while the 24mm width of the rear tire gives a bit more traction and durability where there is more weight from the rider. The Black Chili compound uses smaller carbon particles which have more contact points for improved grip an...

Strengths:    Smooth Ride, Rolls fast, Corners on rails.. (in the dry). I have not tested it in the rain yet..

Weaknesses:    none at this moment

Bottom Line:   
I've been using Panaracer RibMo's 23c front & 28c Back on my Cinelli Mash V2 Bike and i've recently decided to try the 2011 Continental GP Attack 22c Front & Force 24c Back. I was worried that its going to be tough to mount onto my wheels as i've read on the blogs but mine went it quite smoothly without incident. (without me accidentally cutting the tires with my tire levers!) I've discovered to use spit on the levers as lubrication and it works wonders.. :-p

The first ride on these GP Attack & Force was surprisingly smooth! Smoother than my RibMo's which i like very much... and the vibration seems to lessen with the Conti's. Best of all... it keeps wanting to roll and roll and roll.... i feel like i am going faster and i am!

I've paid about USD95.00 for the pair and its worth the money spent. I paid USD80.00 for my pair of RibMo's and its pretty good but i never thought the rolling resistance is so much difference to the Contis. And the first time i applied my front brakes, i felt that the stopping power is much better. I thought my brake pads were rubbing on the tires and check to make sure but it was not. So braking has improved too. I am now officially in love with my Contis but i am still a little worried about the weakness of these tires that i've been reading on other peoples review... i am waiting for a puncture to happen and sidewall to rot! Let see... hope this new model has addressed that problem.
