One of the fastest mountain slicks on the market, Continental's Sport Contact has such low rolling resistance that it rivals some road tires.

Awesome tire once you get it installed!

By cjpd from Northern Wisconsin - Cycling Enthusiast

I really had a tough time installing these but once I used soapy water all along the rim things went smoothly. I also needed to initially over inflate the tires to 110psi to get them to seat properly on the rims. My expert racer friends said this is not new and that over time the tire will stretch some so if I ever and hopefully never have a flat getting them off of the rim will be easier.

They provide a really nice ride and I like the reflective strip option as well. I actually have sold my high tech road bike and have gone to a Fuel EX 9 with a spare set of rims so I have the best of both world with these tires for my road tires!

PERFECT TIRES. GREAT TRACTION, FANTASTIC ON WET ROADS & LOTS OF SPEED. ITS A MUST HAVE.

By ED.RIDER from NEW YORK - Competitive Racer

I GOT THESE TIRES IN THE MONTH OF MAY OF LAST YEAR & IM STILL RIDING ON THEM. I PUT THESE TIRES TO THE TEST. IT WAS THE SUMMER OF LAST YEAR IN NYC. I SIGNED UP FOR THE " TD 5 BORO BIKE TOUR ". IT WAS 42 MILES OF ON & OFF RAIN THROUGH CITY STREETS. IM ON A CANNONDALE MTB FEELING LIKE IM ON A ROAD BIKE BUT WITH A FEW ADVANTAGES. COMFORT, I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WET ROADS AND RUF ROADS AS MUCH WITH THESE TIRES "CONTINENT SPORT CONTACT 26" 1.6". I WAS PASSING ROAD BIKES LIKE NOTHING. I HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THESE TIRES. I HAVN'T FOUND ANY REASON OR HAVE ANY BAD COMMENTS. IM ABOUT TO GET MY SECOND PAIR THIS TIME WITH REFLECTIVE.
