Strengths: grip, cornering, priceWeaknesses: comfortBottom Line: Great value for money. I use the tire on my front wheel, as it is fantastic in corners. They grip and roll very nicely - I like the black chilli compound of the contis. No issues on wet roads either. The only downside is the comfort as the don't have a inner latex tube.
After purchasing you should stretch the tire on a spare rim for some weeks, then they mount a lot easier.
I can't see a big difference to the Conti 4000 which costs significantly more ...

Strengths: Durable
Cheap
Ride better than clinchers
Great corneringWeaknesses: They are a bit lumpy
Nightmare to mount, they do not stretch at all.Bottom Line: I've been very happy with these tires. They've survived racing where many others got flats and they have fantastic grip, even while racing crits in the rain.
I've been using them for training quite a bit and they've held up even when I've accidentally run over glass. I'm at 1600 miles on the tires and the rear looks like it should go to 2500 without a problem.
They're a tire you can race on and ride everyday.

Strengths: cornering grip, acceleration, rolling resistance, professional feel.Weaknesses: absolutely none.Bottom Line: these are amazing... tubulars are amazing and so fast. forger clinchers if you are a serious cyclist. the grip, confidence, accleration from sew-ups is second to none. and forget being stranded with the new fix a flat injection stuff out there. excellent tire with amazing cornering grip; get stoked on cycling again; ride tubies.

Strengths: Dry grip, (from what i heard) durability, they hold pressure very well.Weaknesses: Bumpy(up-down) - not soo smoothBottom Line: I ride them for about 500km(until now). I am riding always when the road is dry, so I don't know about their wet grip. But in dry, these tyres are good, the grip is ok and they are fast. I can't say anything about durability - at least for now.
My review is for 700x22c version.

Strengths: Very fast, durable, and economical.Weaknesses: Wet grip. These tires are not for wet crits. Not the straightest tire when mounted. The Competition is a lot better.Bottom Line: I've won a lot of races over the years on these tires. They are fast and durable. Only lately have I been looking for a replacement due to wet traction issues. I don't know if the compound changed over the years, but lately I've found them to be scary in the rain. I've done crits recently (in the rain) where I swear I was sideways in every corner.
In the dry they rail.
Favorite Ride: Any crit with an uphill finish
