Reviews
I have 400 miles on these tires and they are great. My Trek dealer was out of stock on my regular tires and I took a chance on these. The price was very reasonable and my Trek dealer also said these were very good tires when I was having some warranty work done. These tires are a little more difficult to install as they are stiff. Of course that is a good thing as they are durable tires. We ride 40-50 miles per week on asphalt and concrete.
I bought a tour/light gravel bike last year and started riding quite frequently. I found I enjoy riding roads (mostly hills) in my area. The factory tires the bike came with were okay, but since I'm riding road, I wanted a tire that had more of a road profile instead of the gravel like profile of the stock tire. Plus the factory tires were thinner in material so they were more susceptible to tube punctures. So I went on a hunt and found these tires. No reviews and a brand new model, I took a shot and bought a set. These are really nice tires!
My rims are tube 700c x 45 and these are among the only tires at that width that have a more road type profile. This tire feels far more substantial than the ones I replaced. To top it all off, the reflective stripe around the side wall gives these tires a classy look IMO. They don't feel flimsy and seem to be far more puncture resistant than my old tires.
If you're weight conscious then you may want to keep looking. But if you do a lot of tour riding or, like me run up and down the hilly roads in your area or just ride the flats, these are an excellent tire. I can tell already that I'll be picking up a set for my wife's bike soon and I would buy again.
Bought the Urbano when it was on sale and the protek was sold out. I had one protek in stock but needed to change both tires. The two are very comparable: size, tread, anti-puncture belt, reflective sidewall, etc. Except the Urbano now is looking a bit bald while the protek still has some miles on it. Good tire, but a tad softer compound.
