Schwalbe Ultremo ZX Tyre – Review

Yesterday I purchased the February Issue (Issue #258) of the Cycling Plus magazine.

After skimming through the magazine I came across an interesting guide on the top 10 Race Tyres and instantly recognised the number 1 tyre as the tyre I run on my 2010 Cube Agree GTC Pro road bike.

The tyre that received 5/5 by Cycling Plus Magazine and named as their top race tyre was the Schwalbe Ultremo ZX HD Tyre.

I personally love this tyre, it grips well on the road in both dry and wet conditions, and offers very low rolling resistance without compromising grip. As for puncture proof, not wanting to tempt fate and put the kiss of death on it, I have yet to receive a puncture! Mmm not looking forward to my next cycle as I’m guaranteed a puncture now aren’t I! Another great feature is that this tyre comes in several different colours so you can really pimp that bike up!

Myself and 5 others headed out last Sat and tallied 36 miles on our road bikes, Andy who was on his new shiny Specialized bike, fell victim to not ONE but THREE punctures! He was fed up after the third puncture and phoned his wife to pick him up. He wasn’t using Schwalbe Ultremo ZX HD tyres, he was running Specialized ones.

So if you’re looking for a new set of road tyres for the new season I can highly recommend the Schwalbe Ultremo ZX HD tyres.
