This is a phenomenal tire. Amazingly efficient rolling resistance with no compromise when it comes to durability. The tires are incredibly hard to install, but the plus side is that the seal that is created when they are seated is so tight you could almost go without using sealant. Highly recommend these tires.

I finally wore past the indicators on my rear tire. It rolled 5,281 miles. Incredibly fast, incredibly durable, fantastic puncture protection, easy mounting.
$0.02 per mile for the fastest road tires a pleb can buy.

Great tubeless tire, just converted to tubeless in early winter 2023 so still not sure how much mileage I will get. I average 150-200 miles weekly over 5000 yearly, will update later

These tires really, really perform well. Very resistant to cuts and punctures. Stable in the corners. I've got 2,000+ miles on a pair and they look almost new. I've been a Continental tire client for 10+ years and these are the best they have made to date. I have a spare set of these from BikeTiresDirect but I expect it will be a while till the existing ones show any significant wear.

I have these in 25, 28, and 30. I love them!!!
Great all around performance. Confidence inspiring in the corners.

Great tire. Super easy set up tubeless over other top brands. Never going back to anything else.

I've used multiple variants of this tire and currently run the 28mm and 30mm versions of this tire. They snapped right on to my Zipp 808s without requiring any tools. The first for a TLR tire in my experience. I was worried there might have been an issue and they wouldn't hold air since they went on so easily - but they seated and held air just great! I will have to see how these compare long term this season but so far so good.

My go-to tires! Easy to setup with Zipp 303s and I feel confident running them, even on wet roads.
Review by Habanero
Installation of this tire was extremely hard. It took all my power plus some to get this tire on my TR wheel. However, it filled up with air with my floor pump easily. So far, the ride on this tire is real nice.

Once you break them in, they are the fastest tires I ever had, vs Schwalbe Pro One, Conti GT 5000 TL.
They are really a race or time trial tire, with a bit more puncture protection.
I bought a set of Schwalbe Pro One TE. They are listed as only 15 grams more, but they seem 2X as durable.

So far 400+ miles on these tires. 30s feel slightly more comfortable and I hope a little more puncture resistant than 28s. Running tubeless on hookless rims .

If it's good for Pogacar It's good enough for me. Get the black it's faster.

This is probably the highest rated road tubeless tire in the market and it does live up to the accolades. According to my bike shop, it was super easy to install/set up. I have been riding with these and they are very smooth. So far, I have had a great experience.
Review by Tony H
So far I would give them a 5/5 except for two minor things. They are quite difficult for an older fellow with arthritic fingers to get on/off the rims. Also they tend to lose air and need topping off more quickly than one might expect. Perhaps that is standard for tubeless set-ups or maybe for hookless rims.

Mounted on Zips 404 Firecrest hookless wheels effortlessly and I feel confident cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Rolling resistance is negligible from the Continental TL 5000 (28mm) tires I had previously, ride comfort, just fantastic!
Review by David B
Impressed with the overall performance of the 5000 series tires. Have been riding them for several years and have no complaints.
Review by Wyoroady
I liked the first iteration of these and waited for the second iteration. Mistake. Ruined 2 new tires with in weeks. One sidewall and one big cut. Didn't seem to have much protection. Unfortunately I have several left in stock. Will run them as front tires now.
