Product Information

Schwalbe isn’t revealing many details, including whether it’s a single- or multi-compound mix, apart from the fact there’s more silica and other elements in a more finely controlled mix, which holds the tyre together so it lasts and rolls more effectively without affecting grip levels. Tubular: The final common type is tubular. These were once widely used but are now used by just the pros and dedicated amateurs. A tubular tyre is as the two common names suggest a tyre that is sewn up into a tubular shape that contains an inner tube. Unlike a clincher, tubular tyres are held in place on a special concave rim with even glue or a super-strong double-sided tape. As the name implies, this tyre is as tough as some gator’s skin. If you’re looking for the premier road tyre offering maximum puncture resistance, you found it. This tyre uses technology developed in the automobile industry to create a tough-as-nails casing that many road riders rely on daily while putting down miles. If you’re the type of rider who wants to ride with peace of mind and not worry about flats, try the GatorSkin out and you won’t be disappointed. It comes in a variety of sizes to suit any rider’s needs. No matter how long your next epic ride is this tyre will give you the performance you want, the peace of mind on the road, and miles of smiles.

The Fincci tyres are about half the price of most options on the market and they are far easier to get onto the rims. They also have no real difference in performance compared to most high-end brands although time will be the big judge of that. So far, I’ve used them for commuting for a few months and they performed well in both dry and wet conditions. I never realized puncture-proof tyres were available at this price. There are two compounds for the Magic Mary EVO line, each identified by a coloured band that runs around the tyre. The purple band here represents the softest of the two compounds, aptly called the Addix UltraSoft. The Addix Soft we’ve also tested has an orange band. Costs incurred due to loss of use, alongside any labour charges, due to a warranty claim being made, are not covered under our Warranty Policy. I tested these as part of a winter mountain bike tyres test, focused specifically on the front wheel. I put them through their paces in the gloop and slop of a British winter. I set them up at 21psi on a 30mm internal width rim.The EVO in the name stands for Schwalbe’s Evolution line of tyres, which all use a folding Kevlar bead. A pair of Challenge Strada weighs around 500g. That’s not super heavy for 25mm tyres, but there are lighter options out there. For example, the Strada SC S weighs a little less, say 480g per pair. When it comes to puncture protection, I’ve had no issue with Challenge Strada. They stayed intact and cut-free even after months of regular riding. I am also excited to use these in the winter as they seem much grippier than the Continentals in the wet.

We recommend consulting our height charts from the link below to help you choose your perfect sized bike: What I like: Super affordable, rolls fast, easy to get onto the rims, better than most bigger brandsThis tyre is primarily built and optimised towards protection and durability. As the name suggests, it gives above-average puncture resistance and this protection runs under the tread. Also, there is an extra layer of fabric that runs from bead to bead. Schwalbe Durano comes in both folding bead and wire bead versions. The bead version is a little cheaper. One of the good things about these is that they are very easy to get onto the rims. However, the relatively narrow width makes these tyres somewhat harsher to ride. But nonetheless, they are practical, with good grip, and fun to ride. Choosing the right level bike for your riding ability is important. Components that are not suitable for your level of riding can wear or fail much sooner than expected. Although BMX bikes can look very similar, under the surface components and materials used can vary greatly. Along with a good grip and rolling resistance, the GP5000 also features a comfortable ride. Continental has embedded what they call ‘Active Comfort Technology’. This technology sits below the Vectran Breaker and it does not affect rolling resistance, dampen buzz, and vibration. Finally, the Grand Prix 5000 also comes in a tubeless version. Continental says it is compatible with all tubeless-ready rims as long as you use its own sealant.
