I've ridden 2 sets of these tires, I think they are great compared to the Zaffiros that my bike came with. They are way lighter and roll more smoothly. I have had a few flats from commuting 25+ miles on uneven pavement but these are lightweight 23mm tires, not designed for tough commutes. So, unless you need a burly tire I would recommend these.

Ordered these tires for a race I had coming up. Took them out to ride for the first time and within 25 miles a piece of glass cut through the tire like butter. It split the tire wide open. I might be able to get a few more miles out of the tire with a dollar bill fix, but I'm not going to risk it in a race, which is why I purchased them in the first place. Oh well. Don't let anyone trick you into thinking expensive high performance bike equipment is durable.

Although the product description says "Road tubeless", these are not tubeless. There are two versions of the Atom Comp, one is tubeless and the other is not. I was disappointed to find that these were not tubeless after paying expedited shipping in order to get them before a scheduled ride.

  1. Bought 6 (3 sets in bulk)
    Rear tyre has split 3 times. Max tyre pressure is 115psi. If you inflate to that level they will split. really disappointed with them. 300 miles max per tyre on the rear. I'm 13st 4lbs. I ride reasonable terrain in Northumberland. Rubbish
