Ritchey Race Slick WCS

Price Paid:  $45.00 at Club sponsor

Favorite Ride:
Fast and twisty

Bike Setup:
Merlin Titanium and Dura Ace components including wheels - as luck would have it.

Summary:
I love these tires. They are super grippy and lasted through an entire season of training races, including riding to and from the races 12-20 miles each way depending on the race.

No other tire has performed as well for me in this task. They're not the very lightest tire on the market but they definitely hold their own against other lightweight tires. These are about 15 grams heavier than the really lightweight clinchers, and that's hardly anything at all. Perfect for crits and circuit races.

I would give this tire a 5 for value but I think the msrp is a little high and I've never seen them on sale. For price paid I put in the number that I would pay if I could find them locally.

Strengths:
The graphics are classic and low key, black tire, black sidewalls, small swatch of World Champion (WCS) colors on the side.

Very grippy. Smooth rolling.

Weaknesses:
Hard to find.
