The Continental Giro meets its billing as an ‘inexpensive training tubular’. Keep that in mind and don’t expect a top level racing performance. As an off-season or training run-around tubular it adequately fulfills those expectations. The ribbed tread is wear optimized and grippy enough in both wet and dry conditions and is reasonably resistant to cuts.

Available in just one width, 22mm, these can be pumped to the stated 10 bar/145psi max pressure but a recommended ride pressure for most people would be in the 110 to115 zone. Weight-wise these are not mega-light but you’re not going to be racing on these anyway.

Tubular tyres are used primarily because of their excellent rolling characteristics and handling properties. With the Continental Giro, you can also rely on these strengths in training and they are an excellent value for the relative cost.
