Continental Competition (tubular) 25 road bike tire on a rolling resistance test machine

The Continental Competition is an all-round tubular tire and is the first tubular tire I'm testing (after a lot of requests). The Continental Competition features a 3/180 casing with a max pressure of 175 psi, a Vectran puncture protection insert, and (of course) the well-known Continental Black Chili compound that has proven to be one of the fastest compounds on the market. Equivalent clincher tires would be the Conti GP4000S II, Schwalbe One, Michelin Power Competition, and Vittoria Open Corsa.

Continental specs this tire as a GrandTour/Tour/Race tire which makes it an all-round tire. As this is the first tubular tire I've tested it won't be possible to compare it with other tubulars yet, but it will be fascinating to see how this tire compares to the best performing clinchers. I've ordered some more tubular tires so keep an eye on the site as I'll be posting reviews of those tires in the next few months.


I've spent quite some time testing the Continental Competition in the last weeks. What I've learned is that getting consistent results with tubular tires is a lot harder when compared with the clincher tires. The quality of the mounting can make a difference of 1-2 watts in the rolling resistance test. The most important part seems to be in using the right type and amount of glue, and also the drying time of the glue is important. As an example: I started testing this tire with a loose fit (no glue or tape), this resulted in up to 30% more rolling resistance compared to the best result which was with the tire glued to the rim and a drying time of 72 hours.

All size measurements are taken at an air pressure of 100 psi / 6.9 bars on a 21.5 OD rim.

Specified weight of the 25x28 Continental Competition is 280 grams; my sample came in slightly heavier at 285 grams. On my 21.5 mm OD tubular rim, at an air pressure of 100 psi/ 6.9 bars, the tire has a width of 25 mm and a height of 24 mm.


cut open Continental Competition showing inside of tire

I've cut the tire open to measure the tread and sidewall thickness and to get a look inside. It's interesting to see the Competition uses a very thin butyl inner tube with a thickness of just 0.4 mm. The total thickness of the tread part of the tire comes in at 2.5 mm which is a bit less than the clincher GP4000S II (read review), Schwalbe One (read review) and Michelin Power Comp (read review) which all came in at about 2.7 - 2.9 mm thick. The sidewalls have a thickness of 0.55 mm.

The Road Bike section is a multi tire size section, air pressures have been adjusted to the measured casing width.

All numbers are for a single tire at a speed of 29 km/h / 18 mph and a load of 42.5 kg / 94 lbs.

Use the formula: RR (Watts) = CRR * speed (m/s) * load (N) to calculate rolling resistance at a given speed and load.

*Tubular gluing process: Continental rim cement, two layers on rim, two layers on tire -> let dry for 24 hours. Next day: 1 layer on tire, mount tire to rim -> let dry for 72 hours. Test tire after 72 hours.


Even though this tire is rated up to 175 psi / 12 bars, I've performed tests at 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 psi to stay in line with all of the clincher tests on the site. As this is a 25 mm tire, my opinion is that you shouldn't run it over 120 psi / 8.3 bars anyway (road use) as it'll be way too stiff and uncomfortable on most roads.


On average, I'm a bit disappointed by the rolling resistance of the Continental Competition. I was expecting this tire to at least come close to the clincher Grand Prix 4000S II as the construction of both tires is very similar. It must be said though that max pressure of the Grand Prix 4000S II is 120 psi while the Competition has a max pressure rating of 175 psi. When running the Competition at an air pressure of 175 psi, it could very well come closer to the 12.2 Watts of the Grand Prix 4000S II read review) at 120 psi.


It would be nice if Conti made a tubular tire with the 3/330 casing, built to withstand a max pressure of 120/130 psi as most people seem to run less pressure these days.

In the tread puncture test, the Competition scores 11 points and performs as expected for a tire with a tread thickness of 2.5 mm and a single layer of Vectran Breaker under the tread. In the sidewall test, it comes in at 4 points which is as expected and comparable to most other tires without reinforced sidewalls.

Conclusion


  • Continental Competition (tubular) 25
Performance compared to all other road bike tires
(100% is best)

Pro Members get 11-point radar charts

Because this is the first tubular tire I've tested, it's difficult to draw any conclusions from the numbers. When we compare the Continental Competition with the best clincher tires with similar tread thickness and puncture protection, it just doesn't impress me all that much. On top of that, the clinchers are way easier to mount, much cheaper, and patching a flat is no problem. I'm really looking forward to seeing if any tubular tires can beat the best clinchers.


Check back in the next months as I'll be testing and publishing reviews of the most popular tubular tires. In the meantime, check the road bike overview to see how this tire compares to the rest.
