I’m using Conti Travel Contacts at the moment, but they’re 700g and it’s like pedalling with a dead horse on my wheels.

Any recommendations?

WTB Vulpine, a semi slick that is fast on the road and holds on well off road as long as it’s not muddy.

They weigh 530g for the 26″ version.

I’m using vitoria rubino pro slicks, just under 400g i think and fast on the mtb

specialized fatboys are cheap ,fast and 360ish grams

I can only see the vulpines in 29″

Dobo – is the Rubino a road tyre only?

Should have mentioned that I’m looking for 1.5″-1.7″…

the rubino is a slick tyre so for road use only, but it does come in 26″, i’m using it on a giant xtc.. and i think mines a 1.5 size

on or off road?

if its on road only undoubtable conti ultra gator skins.

they are pure road tyres, availible in 26″

about a 0.8″/0.9″ size, pure slick, best run at 110psi 😈

Olly – bit of both, but more road.

Continental City Contact is good on the road.If you want road/ bit of off road, Continental Contact Reflex are good.

ultra gators are pure road, and at those pressures will knacker the rims at a hint of roughness.

I’m running Vredestein Killer Bees, all 2.4″ of them. Fast as you like, plenty comfy and happily tackle steps or other obstacles of interest to the commuter.

I was looking at continentals

supersonic innertube 100gms
supersonic speed king 2.3 450gms (or 2.1 420gms)
