Continental Giro tubular tyre
Price: 
£17.95

There aren’t too many tubulars out there that are cheaper than the Continental Giro. Sure, you can find some, but this is certainly at the budget end of the market and it’s billed as an ‘inexpensive training tubular’. Bear that in mind and don’t go expecting a top level racing performance. But as an off-season run-around, it’s fine.

Road.cc verdict: 
A cheap training tub that puts in a decent performance
