from Date Reviewed: February 22, 2008
Strengths: Ride is like a tubular tire. Low perceived rolling resistance. Despite coming in at above the claimed weight, these are still the lightest clinchers I've ever ridden.Weaknesses: Tools cannot be used in installation (manual states that it must be install by hand.) The bead is a bit of a chore to mount initially.Bottom Line: Measured at 21mm actual width despite 20c designation.
Weight is 176g and 190g for the pair, up from the 170g claimed weight.
Favorite Ride: Mt Hood - Lola Pass Loop
Price Paid:
$30.00
Purchased At: bicyclinghub.com
Similar Products Used: Pro Race 2, Vresdestein Fortezza, Hutchinson Top Speed, Vittoria Diamonte, tubulars.
Bike Setup: Cross bike gone roadie for the season.

Strengths: I like the ride almost as well as my tubulars. Great feel, fast, light.Weaknesses: Probably the longevity of the tire. Not intended for training. I'll only use them for races.Bottom Line: These are flat out the best clinchers I have ever ridden. I have tried almost every tire out there. I only use these on my race wheels because at 170 grams I don't think they would last as a training tire. Supple, responsive, fast.
Price Paid:

Strengths: Seem to be holding up well. Three flats in 12 months, no damage to casings.Weaknesses: Don't inspire the confidence that Michelin Pro Race does in the corners.Bottom Line: Ads touted these tires @20mm wide, they're more like 22-23 I like really
narrow tires. Pump them up about 5 lb. more than Contis, they'll still give
a comfortable ride; though not as comfy as Michelin Pro Race, or Axial
Pro. They just don't inspire the confidence I felt with Michelins.
Favorite Ride: When the road goes up
Price Paid:
$42.00
Purchased At: World Class Cycles
Similar Products Used: Name it: Clement and Conti tubulars; all manner of tires from
Specialized (hate 'em), Conti, IRC, Michelin, Vittoria, cheap tires.
Heck, just about everything out there.
Bike Setup: Titanium, full Dura Ace, Velomax wheels, SLR saddle, carbon fork & handlebar
