BikeRadar Bargains: great deals on 5 of the fastest road tyres
Refresh your road bike for summer with these deals
Published:
For this week’s edition of BikeRadar Bargains, we’ve pulled together the best deals on five of the fastest options from our road bike tyres group test last year.
Whether you’re looking for that extra smidge of watt-saving performance or are just looking to get some new rubber for the summer, a new set of tyres can massively transform the ride of your bike.
With some huge discounts on offer you’d be mad not to try something new for the warmer months ahead.
Schwalbe Pro One Evo Tubeless — £67 £39.95
If you value out-and-out speed over all else, this is the tyre for you. This tyre makes for an easy tubeless setup and a great ride, and we gave it 4.5-stars when we reviewed it.
Michelin Power Competition — £37.99 £32.99
Now you can have it even cheaper with a £5 saving at Chain Reaction Cycles.
Vittoria Competition Corsa — £54.99 £34.99
It’s a pricey option, but it’s one of our favourite road clinchers around, and we’ve found a bargain for you!
Continental Grand Prix 4000 S2 — £54.95 £28.99
In his recent review Ben Delaney described it as “the Goldilocks performance road clincher.”
Bontrager R4 320 — £54.99 £47.50
The R4 really surprised us — for Trek’s house brand tyre to perform as well as the venerable Continental GP 4000 S2 is a really impressive achievement and we found the ride quality of these supple tyres to be “as smooth as silk”.
Trek, Bontrager’s parent company, runs a strict fixed-pricing scheme, but we have found them with a small discount at Sigma Sport.
