Continental Terra Speed Gravel Bike Tire / Tyre Review: Fast, Light, Robust, Long-Wearing

“Tires are the essential point of contact between your car and the road (or bicycle in this case). We work to ensure that your tires will always offer excellent braking, maximum safety, and pure driving pleasure.“ - Continental Tires The quote above may be referencing Conti’s vehicle side of their manufacturing operations, but the same principles apply, except driving pleasure is substituted for riding pleasure. Continental has been producing bicycle tyres for many years. Way back in the early 1990’s, my early performance tyres for cycling were the original Conti Grand Prix clincher tyres, in the razor cutter width of 700c x 18mm inflated to about 130psi. What the eff were we thinking back then??! Continental produces tyres for the more adventurous side of cycling, MTB and Gravel, with models such as the Trail King and Terra Speed. Terra Speed is Conti’s speedy entry into the world of gravel cycling. “For your way off-road. For more comfort. For the adventure. Be it the long tour, or the shortcut on your way home. The new gravel Terra series by Continental gets you there. Made to get you over rough and smooth.“ In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew conducts a long-term review of these tyres lasting some five months. Subjects such as weight, mounting to tubeless wheels, and the ride experience, are covered.
