Grand Prix TT vs All Terrane review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Continental Grand Prix TT vs Maxxis All Terrane tyres. Both manufactured by different brands, Continental and Maxxis respectively, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Continental Grand Prix TT is better for Race Tires activities, Maxxis All Terrane is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to gravel activities.

Grand Prix TT

All Terrane

Super fast semi-slick tread pattern for racing against the clock on TT's and in triathlon.! Optimized-rolling-resistance competition tire with reduced mileage and puncture protection.

Time Trial: Challenge the clock

Cyclocross tire for racing in all conditions

Super fast semi-slick tread pattern for racing against the clock on TT's and in triathlon.! Optimized-rolling-resistance competition tire with reduced mileage and puncture protection.

The Maxxis All Terrane performs well in a broad range of cyclocross conditions from hardpack to grass to light mud. An open tread pattern clears debris and the ramped knobs reduce rolling resistance.

Features

Vectran
The benchmark in puncture protection
Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
BlackChili
It’s all about how you mix it
With our unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, we have revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling.
Regular test wins confirm the measureable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance

EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
