Continental Unisex Contact Plus Reflex Tyre

Product Information

They all have their strengths and weaknesses and try to strike the right balance yet appeal to a different type of user. The Ride Tour and the Marathon are both difficult tires to mount, in my experience. The rest of them were neither too easy nor too hard. With practice and skill, they get easier. The Continental Ride Tour doesn’t fall behind the rest in performance, and it stands out because of its very appealing price point. Price and value

Zoals we al eerder melden, is het een fijne buitenband om te monteren. Zeker voor zo’n dikke anti-lek band. Ook heeft hij zich in de praktijk bewezen een lage rolweerstand te hebben, wat ideaal is voor e-bikes. Mede door de lage rolweerstand heeft de buitenband een behoorlijke kilometrage, als je hem goed op spanning houd. We hebben al van meerdere klanten en collega’s gehoord dat zij er al meer dan 10.000+ km mee hebben gereden. Het mooie profiel en kwalitatief fijne compound zorgen voor goede grip in elke bocht en een veilig gevoel in elk seizoen. I also spent time researching other people’s experiences and how much they were able to ride them before they needed to replace them. Here is a comparrison chart for traditional and ETRTO sizing to help you choose the correct tyre size. ETRTO Number This isn’t a deal-breaker for most people, but if you’re looking for new tires for your e-bike, it is an essential detail to pay attention to.

If you’re like me, who rides on mostly decent roads and wants a good commuter tire, any one of them is a good fit. Even if your budget only allows for the cheapest Continental Ride Tour, you won’t be disappointed. Your selection entirely depends on how long, how hard and the location where you are going to ride. Spare some time I rode the same bike with the exact same setup on the same hill three times. I measured the time it took to get both up and down and averaged them out. On the way down I didn’t pedal at all, but I let gravity take care of the speed. I have the 32mm version of each of these tires except the Schwalbe Marathon GT, where I used the 37 mm version. I believe this is the smallest you can get in the GT.

SafetyPlus construction - developed for e-bikes up to 50km/h. Extremely resistant to cuts and piercing Schwalbe Marathon GT: 3 The Schwalbe Marathon (a.k.a. Marathon Greenguard) is a good overall performer at a reasonable price point. This is an excellent commuter tire unless you have a good reason to opt for the Marathon Plus. Which one should you get? Considering the overall performance and the price of these tires, they deserve the following points for value: Even when you handle the tires off the bike, you will notice how heavy the Marathon Plus is, but of course, this comes with the great benefit of very high protection. If you want to be in control of your bike, you need tires that offer sufficient grip as you corner and brake. I ran several tests on a variety of surfaces, and I was quite happy with them.

The other set of figures you may see is ETRTO sizing like this 28-622. The first number here is tyre width while the second number relates to wheel diameter. Irrespective of whether you buy a top brand model or just an entry level bike, it can be a disaster if it doesn’t fit. You can consult the salesperson and he can help you buy the right size. Then work out 4 different adjustments like handlebar height, saddle position, seat height and the reach. It is always better to hunt for shop with trained staff as they will take perfect measurements, help you settle on multiple bikes and accordingly swap different parts to adjust your position. This service will certainly cost you a little more, so you need to plan your budget accordingly. Do not fall in prey to some retailers who often offer bikes in odd sizes at a discounted price. Experiment with a lot of models Agility is another, much more important factor to consider than speed because it’s clearly noticeable as you switch between tires. I didn’t find an empirical way to measure this, so it’s based on perception. Here, the weight comes into play a great deal. You can simply reject even a perfect model, if you have to struggle stretching to get to the handlebar or you feel clumsy with the shifter that you may not have operated before. Test the bike wearing the clothing you are going to use while cycling Schwalbe Marathon GT have a definite edge in terms of speed and seemingly, rival them in terms of durability. I’d opt for the GT, if you weren’t looking to venture beyond metaled road.
