Fast and light

5

Wow these tyres are light and fast. I had puncture problems with the old model of these, but this latest ZX is much, much better. The new V-Guard is great, 700 klm and not a puncture, couldn't be happier. They are a soft compound so it will be interesting to see how long they last. Great value if you are looking for a race clincher.

Still waiting for a Puncture!

The Schwalbe Ultremo ZX Clincher is a fast tyre. I use these on my best wheels, Fulcrum 1s. I normally use the Michelin Pro Race 4, but thought I'd have a change. These are much better, more responsive, light and I have not had a puncture yet! I've had them a few months and they are wearing okay, and still look good. I bought the 23 size, you can also get the 25 size but the quality of the tyre is not so good.

FAST and SMOOTH

5

I am about 73kilos, these tires are really fast and really smooth! They do wear a bit quicker than GP4000s and seem to cut up a bit, but I have several thousand kms on the tires and they are still going strong for me. Only one flat so far and I have gotten several flats with the gp4000s. The best part about these tires is that they are really easy to install, I have Campy Neutron Ultra wheels and some other tire brands are literally impossible to install on these wheels (Schwable works well for this)

The Schwalbe Ultremo ZX Clincher Road Tyre are great in wet and dry conditions especially on smooth tarmac. They're better than the Michelin pro 4 tyres.

Good tyres - I think

Fitted these for a Sportive yesterday, they seem light and grippy and look good, definite improvement to my last set. I did however get a puncture, so can't vouch for the protection but may be statistically unfair / unlucky to judge from just 1 ride.

Great tyre

5

I upgraded my Schwalbe Ultremo ZX Clincher Road Tyre from my Schwalbe Lugano which came with my bike. I actually quite liked the feel of the Lugano tyres, they were very supple, gave me good grip and smoothed out some of the bumps. The Ultremo ZX is a different category of tyre and you can certainly notice it. They roll very nicely when the road is smooth, much more so than the Lugano. I don't feel any less grip and have plenty of confidence to tip them into corners. The black tyre and detailing looks very sleek, I really like it. As you might expect, they do give a harsher ride on older, rough roads (like the tarmac which is made of large gravel aggregate). But it's not a deal breaker and is something you expect on road/race bikes. No punctures in the short miles I have done, just keep them pumped up (7 Bar, like my Luganos, which I only had 1 puncture in 1500 miles).

Much better than expected!

What's not to like.
Bought a set to compare against the Conti GP4000s. Conti weights in at 205-210grams, Ultremo's at 190-195grams. Conti's are very good, but these are very impressive. I'm a 220lb rider that goes hard and I use these as a training tyre. I have found them extremely durable, puncture resistance is excellent and their performance is buttery smooth even at 120psi. Awesome grip and feel even in the howling wet. Like others have said, I don't understand reviews that criticize the durability, these are designed as race tyres so built for speed not for training...well knock me over with a feather as I've put 1000k's on them already and I can't see any discernible wear.

Will I put the Conti's back on...no. Will I order another set of the Ultremo's...you bet (but it will be a while yet).

My headline - the fastest, smoothest clincher tyre I have used..seriously.
