Hi I live in central Mexico in an area where we have very crapy roads (Paris-Roubaix style...almost) so I always thought that I have a very nice test lab for durability and puncture resistance. I used Continental and Vittorias and lasted 3,500km, Schwalbe around 4,500km. The only ones that truly worked for me where Michelin Power All Season 28mm I had used 2 pairs for the las 2 years and survived over 20,000km a year each. I am 80 kg and I mostly ride over very bad surfaces let´s say 60% asphalt and 40% gravel. By the way, I use clinchers.
They use 50kg as it is the load per tyre. Two wheels
Load might not be evenly spread between front and rear but quess 50kg is a good reference point.
you beat me to it. Well said.
Sounds reasonable, that slipped my mind 🤦♂️
Agreed. Ought to divide total system weight by 2...adjusted for maybe 55/45 rear/front loading.
Yah , thought I would check the comment before I crushed wayno
The thing is fast. Using for about 4 months. Loving it.
I run Michelin tires on my car but their bike tires are crap. They puncture for fun. For that reason I've had Vredestein (before they stopped making them) and now Continental ever since.
Is your tyre working? Perhaps not, but your pen is working. Which is a good thing. 🤔
I agree completely in both arenas. I’ve got Pilot Sport 4 a/s on my Audi, they are incredible. Their bike tires are fast but I couldn’t keep the air in.
I've used pro 4"s with no issues with punctures but I do ride on pretty good roads. I'm trialling super light clinchers by tufo and I'm really loving the tyre. Not tried Michelin on my cars as im a pirelli and Yokohama fan.
I switched from Conti to Michelin for the reason that Conti punctured every ten miles and the sidewalls disintegrated. Went to Michelin and never went back. But... That was the ProRace series. These Power series tyres look to have traded puncture protection for rolling resistance.
@@earthstick I haven't tried the power series only the pro series. The power series are really a smooth road race tyre.
I went to Michelin tyres a few years ago and can't fault them.
I have a pair of the new power cups and they certainly just that little bit more comfortable and they are a tad more compliant than gp 5000 faster maybe . I’m lucky that I have a little strip of cobbles out side my house . And it’s easy test to find out which is faster at a given pressure and power for the distance, I know they don’t catch the wind as much as the conti either giving a more confident ride. What I don’t like is they have lost the ruler, they size up huge. For people that are running clinchers get the 23s if you want a true 25 on a 20mm I’d rim. Hunt aero wide 34s for reference.
Thanks for the details. This is actually the exact type of information I'm looking for.
Back in the day I raced/trained on Michelin Bi-synergic 23mm clinchers, they were absolutely superb! then Michelin moved onto the pro race which I never thought much of so went over to Conti's. Would hope these new Michelin's are what they claim.
I use Pirelli p-zero 25 tubular and conti Gp5000 , I don’t think I’d notice a difference on a blind test but they both ride lovely.
For a long discourse on tire width, casing suppleness and tire pressure check out Jan Heine (at Bicycle Quarterly), and Silca Pumps (some cool history there on the Paris Roubaix race).
2020 was certainly not a Goodyear . . . 🤣
Neither was 2023
Boom Tish!
For everyday training and Sportive events I figure all the top tires perform the same, so then my main criteria is availability then cost
Bicyclerollingresistance confirms this is the fastest road bike tire when it comes to tire rolling resistance. But that comes at a durability hit which is expected.
Was it Wheel Energy in Finland that did the independent testing? They need to do more tests. A range of tests over each variable. E.g. a range of tests where the weight varies, a range of tests where the tyre pressure varies, a range of tests where the surface varies. The data then shows the effect of each variable.
I'm using with this tyre for 7 months and travelled around 700km. For performance, I would say it provide excellent rolling feedback from the road with the latex tube. But in durability, I'd say is just average, I have experienced a puncture at ~500km and the tyre wear is faster then I expected, I can see some of the protection layer at the sidewall (imperceptible). Overall, I think this tyre is a really outstanding option for racing purposes not good for training.
Hi from France, i don't really know much 'bout bicycle tyres,i'm a Vittoria tubular man myself, but i also drive à petrol tanker here in France, they have changed from Michelin tyres to Goodyear tyres ,well wasn't that a managerial blunder,i've gone from about 23 litres of fuel per 100 kms to a whopping 34 litres of fuel per 100 kms.....
Michelin make great car/truck/mtorcycle/industrial tyres,bike tyres i'm not so sure.
Love ya chanel.
Cheers 👍
Used to run 'Elan' when I was an Embryo.... brilliant!....we have an embarrassment of riches with choice now Mate.✌️
But the fastest tyres are not included in the test. I don’t think the Vittoria tyre stated is the Corsa Speed 2! The Veloflex Record and Specialized Turbo Cotton are also not included.
Yeah, for sure, this is just marketing
Veloflex Record is admittedly a TT tyre.
The Veloflex black is a nice riding supple&fast clincher (180g) but not durable like the Velo. Record.
If they'd have let me put them on my bike I'd show them how slow they are
Running ENVE SES. Its called availability. As soon as they become more available, it's back to Conti 5000S TR tires. Faster and more resistant to punctures.
Michelin said it, it must be true. I can't wait to get a set of these mounted on my bike. I got to get these tires. I don't care what they cost, the fastest tire has got to be worth paying top dollar right. Can't wait. 🤣🤣😁😉
Thanks.
And how long will they last at the presumptive information given and flats
Conti 5000 tube type cream side wall 25mm
The fastest tyres are the ones on Ganna's and Pojcar's bikes.
fastest on smooth surface!
I would believe this.
michelin has always made the worlds best bike tires..!!
No doubt
50kg riders rejoice!! I used Vittoria Rubinos for a while, mainly because they were the only ones available locally for my wheel size. One had a bead catastrophic failure once so there's that.
Eeeeeekk!
I think they tested one wheel at 50kg. Considering we have 2 wheels it seems realistic.
Rubino prod are awful tyres. I threw them out
@@glennoc8585yeah the ride quality was bad, to which you could say fair enough its not a supple high end tire, but the puncture protection was awful and they cut so easily. Never had that problem with a gp4s or even the gp5k.
I have my eyes set on their Sew up tire with latex tube. I just need to have someone repair the wheel first. What are the best tubulars for speed on a road bike?
Are you talking about the tyres? The best ones i have used are Vittoria graphene corsa speed. But they only last 1000km.
Unlike aerodynamics mechanical properties change consistently, so if a tyre compound has less hysteresis in one conditions, it will have less in other too. The Zipp findings about pressure are not so much about tyres themselves, but use scenarios.
However it is true to say that testing tyres not at same pressures but at pressures (and with rim width) recommended by the manufacturer is a fairer holistic approach, but currently people want to compare apples to apples, so 6,5 for everyone, folks
120vs160 tpi can be rather explained by economical aspect: tubular is a premium option, can justify the costs. You also add confusion when talking tube vs tubeless while both have same 120.
Running Mich power tubs. Fast👍
Would the 50kg they used be equivalent to 100kg on 2 tyres (or thereabouts)? I noticed from video they were testing on one wheel which I assume they loaded with 50kg? Or did they not actually show the test rig?
They didn’t show the actual test rig used. The photos are from the Test labs standard equipment.
@@waynosfotos but only one tyre was tested
@@rp6760 we don't know that.
Well I don’t know what the fastest tire is, I know what I like. I’m trying Tubolito inner tubes this year… curious to see how they perform.
FYI, Aero coach tested the rolling resistance of different tube technologies. The Tubolito Road (not Turbo) was just a bit faster than lightweight butyl but a bit behind latex tubes.
@@richardggeorge I have got the tubo tubes. So far I’m extremely satisfied.
I ride Continental GP 5000 clinchers with Latex tubes. They are fast! I disagree with your last point: the tires DO make a big difference. When I started learning to ride, I was using the old Michelin Service Course tires. They were slower than dirt! When I put the GP's on, it was like a whole new bike!
(Having said that, I am willing to give these new Power Cups a try, as well as your VeloFlex's.)
Anyone knows the bontrager R3...? Great tires, fastest, great durability and supergrip.
I changed my s works turbo 26mm for 25mm GP 5000s tubeless, I didn’t notice a difference at all, I think the marginal gains in all of these things only really benefits the pros that are squeezing every single gram of performance out of the kit. I think it’s the same with groupsets, dura ace is no use to casual rider, because the rider is no where near there peak ability
It is true, many of these claimed gains are extremely small and make no difference, compared to bigger gains, like rider position. Rolling resistance, although real, is a much smaller variable than other benefits like aero, i.e. rider optimised rider position.
Unless they are same or more thickness than GP5000 non-tubeless tyre (or significantly cheaper) then I am not interested as the GP5000 will last longer.
More ridiculous claims, if the Bike Industry was a person, they’d be in a facility for the delusional.
You don’t use anything but tubulars…. So why should we trust your opinion on equipment you don’t use?
All the fastest(claimed) tires in the world are too prone to puncture for me. I tried Michelins previous tire and, although unquestionably fast, flatted constantly under me. Due to this I’m faster on a more robust tire. Vittoria Corsa Control are my favourite balance of speed and durability.
You not going fast fixing a flat 😝
Which Michelin tyre were you using before? Power Endurance? Power Road? Power Competition?
@@scott5088 it was the Power Road.
know what mamils should be concerned about. riding more and loosing weight, not fnn tires. who cares what type of rubbers on yer bike, just get out there and ride, jesus
Lol... Fair comment!
Totally wrong. These tyres will make a massive difference over a mid tier or cheaper tyre. Tyres and tubes the first thing you should upgrade
@@dickieblench5001 loose som weight son. Them ain't marginal gainz either
