Continental

Our focus is on service

Jörg Malcherek (Head of Marketing/Sales),

Andreu Lacondeguy (Winner Red Bull Rampage 2014)

and Ulf Günzel (Continental employee), production plant,

Korbach, bicycle building section

Sustained investments into both our Korbach

manufacturing base and a further extension to our

logistics centre are starting to take effect and are

producing some very convincing results. A storage

space expansion to 77,000 m2 will significantly improve

the efficiency of our procedures and on a long-term

basis, our ability to offer a wider range of products.

In the field of mountain bikes, ProTectionApex technology,

as well as the Baron 2.4 Projekt is placing us firmly on

the road to success. The World Championship and the

Red Bull Rampage victories serve as striking proof of this.

After implementing a new performance line two years

ago, we thus ensured that Continental have a solid

product range in this high demand mid-range price

segment.

Thanks to a solid choice of materials and meticulous

workmanship, our Performance Tyres are setting new

standards. In the course of the year, we will be

expanding our range with further Enduro models and

therefore completing this line of products.

So, what does this mean for you? We can provide an

improved quality of service and range of products, as

well as optimised availability for the success of your

business.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to convince you

of our products and would like to wish you a successful

2016.

BlackChili Compound

This unique tread rubber mixture which is only

produced in our German factory has revolutionised

bicycle tyres. The resultant compound showed a

new relationship between grip and rolling

resistance. This ‘Elevated level’, as it was previously

known, was given the name ‘BlackChili’. Countless

test wins that were shown in laboratory tests show

a tangible benefit. The latest polymers, specially

developed soot particles and optimized fillers all

guarantee a unique performance, from downhill

MTB tyres to the time trial tyres of the ProTour, they

are second to none in their respective areas.

BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by

26 % and provides 30 % more grip than activated

silica compounds. Premium tyres with BlackChili

Compound also impress with higher mileage and

unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant

ride from the first to the last kilometre.

RaceSport – easy, quick and secure Uncompromisingly designed for mountain bike XC and

marathon racing. The RaceSport casings combines

consistent lightweight design and exceptional puncture

protection at the highest level. The design makes the

difference – an especially fine, high quality nylon fabric

with an intricate and universally protective rubber

casing, together with the legendary BlackChili

Compound for the ultimate race day tyre.

Vectran™’s advantage Vectran™ is spun from Vectra liquid

crystal polymer, which results in a thread

that is thermoplastic and has

multifilaments. This semicrystalline

material is harder than aramid, has five

times higher tensile strength than steel

and in addition, is also lighter than

comparable nylon thread. Vectran™

maintains these attributes even in the

most adverse weather conditions.

ProTection – ironclad

Better than ever before – our new

ProTection carcass is ready for duty!

The addition of a ProTection layer

under the tread and in the sidewalls

makes it particularly durable and

resistant to injury/damage or

penetration from foreign objects.

Universally applicable, they also

inspire with BlackChili Compound,

attractive design and low weight. In

addition, they are easliy converted to

tubeless as they now feature a tubless

compatible bead.

PolyX Breaker® – built to resist With the PolyX Breaker®, we are bringing our car

expertise to the bicycle tyre sector. Polyester has

been used successfully in car tyres for years and

has proven itself over and over. The highly durable

polyester thread is cross-stitched with a close mesh.

As a result, very high fabric density is achieved,

which not only makes the breaker more durable

against foreign objects, but also particularly

resistant to punctures.

World Champions and individual athletes

Conti-OlympPodium seekers united through Conti

Before the start of any race, tension increases, pulses reach high speed, generating focus and concentration amongst

the athletes. In their mind, they are already running through the most important sections of the course, putting the

body in standby. The sound of the start gun sets the adrenaline shooting through the body and the automatic fight

instinct kicks in.

To edge ever closer to the ultimate goal of being race winner, unquestionable trust in equipment as well as peak

physical performance are essential.

We at Continental share the same goal oriented focus and have our finger on the pulse with ongoing development and

optimisation of our products. With our “Handmade in Germany” products, we equip our teams and individual athletes

with premium products to give them the best support on the way to success.

Bicycle racing has always been a testament of quality for our tyres and has produced extraordinary victories in recent

times:

Sebastian Kienle and Mirinda Carfrae’s double win in Ironman Hawaii, Gee Atherton and Manon Carpenter’s dual

success as UCI World Champions in the overall standings in downhill. Julien Absalon as UCI World Champion in XCO or

Andreu Lacondeguy’s victory at the Red Bull Rampage are just some of the greats who have realised their dream

thanks to the top products from Korbach!

Faster to the finish The Grand Prix Attack & Force set is a true racer, which

first shows its full performance on the tarmac when the

finish is only seconds away. The quick tyre scores with

plenty of aerodynamics and low weight. Each competitive or

lightweight bicycle is equipped for the next attack with this

tyre.


Grand Prix 4000 S II

All-rounder on the ProTourThe Grand Prix 4000 S II is the perfect blend of

comfort, puncture protection and smooth rolling. With

this balanced all-rounder, riding pleasure is guaranteed on

any terrain. It feels just as at home on the cobblestones in

Roubaix as on the mountain road to Mont Ventoux. It is the

perfect tyre for extended trips as well as for every competition.

Race tyres

Specialist in the race against the clockThe ultra-fast, semi-slick tread makes the

Grand Prix TT a favourite in the race against the clock.

When every second counts and every step must transmit

the force perfectly, it is on the spot. The quick tyre makes

every time trial and triathlon bike a fighting machine. The time

specialist scores with low weight and high puncture resistance.

A pure race tyre with reduced puncture protection and reduced

mileage!

The purist competition tyreLightweight and maximum acceleration characterise

the super lightweight Grand Prix Supersonic. Time trial

and track specialists benefit from the first-class rolling

characteristic. The purist competition tyre is otherwise

reduced to a minimum, thus it was necessary to waive the

puncture protection. A tyre without compromise.

A pure race tyre with reduced puncture protection and reduced

mileage!

The training and tour companionThe Cyclocross Race is very fast and ideal for use on

firm ground. It is the perfect companion on forest and

field trails and scores with low rolling resistance with a

comparable good grip. This tyre is a "flow guarantor" for

challenging off-road cycling.

Semi Slick with extra puncture protectionThe name says it all. The race-ready Cyclocross Speed is

at home on firm, dry or frozen ground. Crossers benefit

from the low rolling resistance in training or on the tour

at speeds of up to 25 km/h, they guarantee low

rolling resistance and good puncture

protection with their extra high quality

construction. What’s more, the E-Bike tyres are

extremely durable, so as to counteract any

early wear and tear due to the additional

driving force.

Approved for E-Bikes up to 50 km/h

Approved for E-Bikes up to 25 km/h

characteristics and brings frequent riders quickly from A to

The Plus tyre range offers you effective protection against flat tyres. An almost impenetrable

puncture protection bead made out of highly elastic special rubber guarantees safety during all

journeys. Shards of glass, nails and even drawing pins don’t stand a chance. From the choice of

numerous profiles and sizes there is a tyre for all uses to get you safely from A to B.

Tip: Combine the Plus tyres with a Hermetic Plus tube. This thicker and stronger tube stays inflated

for longer and has a greater resistance to punctures. Bike shops swear by this combination.

Our conversations over the years with New York’s toughest Fixie riders, the messengers of

CycleHawk NY, continually provides us with new insights into the high demands placed on these

rider’s tyres.

N. B.:We recommend using a manometer when

measuring. More information available on

page 77.

Maximum safety.

We don’t like punctures!

It is often the small, unseen things which make it possible to get the most out of a product. For example using

our Continental RevoSealant or a suitable and pressure resistant rim tape, like the Continental Easy Tape, which

is available in many widths. Our tubular cement has also been tried and tested in cycling for many years,

securing tubulars to aluminium rims as well as to carbon rims with our carbon specific version. These products

along with our valve extensions, available in various lengths are indispensable accessories for bike racing.

Continental tubes, which are made out of high quality butyl rubber with even wall thickness, are available in all

possible sizes, styles and valve types and are all listed in order in the new, user friendly ContiTube System. We

develop and manufacture all these small, useful products with the same care and precision with which we

manufacture our other cutting edge products, because it’s the detail which make the difference.

Tubes, rim tape, accessories.

Details which make all the difference.

Tubes and accessories63

The new ContiTube bicycle tube program makes it easier for you to find the ideal tube for

your cycling demands. The user-friendly tube system is suitable for any size, length,

design, type of valve and perfect for any tyre dimension and riding occasion. Varying tube

types can affect your tyres’ handling characteristics: the Standard tube, available in all

dimensions is the best choice for everyday cycling whilst Light & Supersonic varieties give

racers the option of lower rotating weight, therefore increasing speed. The lightweight

tubes have a lower thickness and so it is imperative that inflation pressures are maintained

to prevent the risk of pinch flats.

For worry free cycling, we recommend the Hermetic Plus tube. Its improved formula is

lighter and more compact, which renders it very puncture resistant in the presence of

higher butyl amounts and greater wall thickness. Since it retains air longer, it’s a favourite

among bicycle rental agencies. Our Freeride and Downhill tubes are especially strong and

bulky, which make it one of our favourites, since their extra wall thickness effectively

protects against punctures.

Rim Strip

Small component = large impact. A poorly constructed

or unsuitable tyre rim tape can be the cause of many

punctures. It is especially important with hollow

section rims to use a pressure-resistant rim band

which covers the entyre rim. The fabric-reinforced

Continental Easy Tape rim protector is designed for

use under high air pressure conditions. The various

widths enable a perfect fit for all standard rims. The

high pressure design for racing cyclists withstands up

to 220 PSI, without becoming deformed. The flat

construction type also significantly eases the job of

tyre fitting.

also be used as a sealer for tubeless ready systems, which

are popular in mountain biking, with suitable corresponding

tyres.

Continental tyre levers made with fibre-reinforced plastic

make changing tyres as easy as can be, without damaging

BlackChili Compound – it’s all about how you mix itIn the research and development laboratories for

Continental bicycle tyres in Korbach, Germany, the

staff and engineers have been looking for the

solution to one of the fundamental problems of

tyre construction: The running properties of the

rubber compound of a tyre are largely determined

by three interacting factors: static friction [grip],

rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma is that

you improve one of these factors, and in turn,

worsen at least one other factor. A tyre with

maximum grip wears out faster and rolls slower. If

one makes the tyre faster or more durable, then

this in turn reduces grip. With the then current

highest standard of compound technology, the

Activated Silica Compound having already reached

a very high standard of compromise, our

developers wanted to take compounding to an

even higher level. This lead them to venture into

new territory, exploring new ways so that in 2005

they made a breakthrough in mixing technology,

the first steps to what is now known as BlackChili.

This revolutionary compound is based on the latest

findings on polymer and other raw material

research.

For BlackChili we refine newly developed synthetic

rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-

performance tread compound. We use these

rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot

Deutsche Technik in detail.

particles, which are optimized in shape and

surface properties for best uses for the intended

tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an

unprecedented of performance.

Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an

unprecedented level of performance. Compared

to the previous best Activated Silica Compound,

BlackChili tyres have 26 % less rolling resistance, a

30 % higher friction value [grip] and a 5 % increase

in mileage. BlackChili technology never stands still

as it is continuously developed and tailored to the

individual applications of new Continental tyres as

they continue to be produced out of the Korbach

factory. Whether on the road or mountain bike,

speed and grip advantages are very noticeable.

The complex compound technology is so

sensitive that tyres with BlackChili Compound can

only be produced exclusively in our German

Korbach factory.

Casing construction & TPI – the makeup of the basic tyre structure

The carcass is the basic structure for all tyres. The

construction of the carcass, the material and the thickness of

the thread depends on the demands that are placed on the

tyre. Continental always works with high-quality carcasses

made from nylon strings that are first woven and then

rubberised. Nylon can be easily combined with rubber and is

durable in all types of weather. The thickness of the thread

gives the tyre its specific attributes. Thread thickness is

recorded in TPI [threads per inch] and describes the number

of threads per 2.54 cm [1 inch]. Fabrics used have 22 TPI,

28 TPI, 60 TPI and 110 TPI. Very fine material makes the tyre

smoother and protects the carcass from punctures. Coarse

fabric is more cut-resistant and makes the tyre more robust.

The choice of fabric correlates to the purpose of use. The

standard is a three-ply basic carcass. Additional breakers can

be put under the tread in order to reinforce the tyre even

more and to increase puncture protection. There are

different types of breaker builds and materials for different

uses whether they are highly elastic specialty rubber, such as

our Plus brand or fabric breakers, such as PolyX and

Vectran™ in our race tyres. You can see how the tyre is

constructed in the tyre specification. Points listed are the

number of layers, the sum of the TPI and the type of

puncture protection. 3/180 + Vectran™ is equivalent to three

layers of a 60 TPI fabric with an additional Vectran™ Breaker.

PureGrip CompoundBased on activated silica compounds, this technology was

originally intended as an performance level compound, but

after intensive development at our Korbach Research and

Development Department Facility, an advanced new

compound with outstanding grip and cross-country

properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the

self explanatory name “PureGrip”, is ranked just behind our

BlackChili Compound and is being used in our performance

products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst

providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable –

both characteristics of Continental tyres, which are

exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei [Asia].

TWI – The wear indicatorThe wear rate and condition of any

‘treaded’ tyre like an MTB or touring

model can be easily recognised by the

obvious visual signs of wear to these tread

lugs. Smooth or slick road tyres however

do not offer any indication for their timely replacement. That

is why Continental introduced wear indicators for smooth

racing tyres back in 2004 on the Grand Prix 4000. The TWIs

[Tread Wear Indicators] are on practically every Continental

racing tyre these days. If the two small, circular depressions

can no longer be seen in the middle of the tread, it is time for

a replacement. This is an important aspect for rider safety as

a worn tyres riding characteristics are no longer adequate.

The wear indicators have also found their way into City

trekking and e-bike tyres. The Top CONTACT II has a small

crosspiece in the base of the tread groove which should

show a minimum profile depth of at least 1.6 mm. You can

recognise Continental bicycle tyres with TWIs by

the corresponding marking on the sidewall.22 mm 24 mm

TirePositioning® SystemWith the TirePositioning® System, the last little bit of what is

currently technically possible has been exploited.

Motorcyclists have known for a long time: Different demands

are made on a front tyre than on its rear counterpart. The

narrower front tyre provides reduced wind resistance and

better handling. An adhesion-optimised tread mixture

supplies the necessary grip especially for wet cornering. The

wide rear tyre offers better traction thanks to a larger contact

area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast

rolling, optimised tread mixture and the larger contact area

on the rear tyre, wear is reduced. The result is a pioneering

front tyre and rear tyre system for road racing; to be found

in our GP Attack and Force combination. – New since

2013: The first tubulars featuring the TPS system!

The hard way

Better than ever before, the new

Continental ProTection casing. The extra

all-round puncture protection layer

renders the casings especially durable and

insensitive to damage or penetration from

foreign elements. Treads and sidewalls are

equally protected, and are 25 % lighter and

offer 30 % more puncture protection than

their predecessors protected by

DuraSkin®. Rolling resistance and

absorption has also significantly improved.

The new Made in Germany technology

allows it to withstand even the hardest

trails across the world. What’s more:

they’re universally usable, are inspired by

BlackChili Compound and have an

Easy, fast, safe

Designed without compromise for use in

mountain bike racing: The RaceSport

casings combine consistent lightweight

construction and noticeable superior

puncture protection at the highest level. In

cooperation with renowned professional

mountain bikers we have created the

perfect basis for competition tyres. Hand-

made in Germany, they offer rolling

friction and puncture protection of World

Cup quality. The structure makes the

difference: a particularly fine and flexible

nylon fabric with elaborately manufactured

protecting rubber lining and universal

aesthetically pleasing sidewall design. The

new Revolution Tubeless Ready Bead

improves the application of Tubeless Ready

Tyres. For optimal results with sealing for

tubeless use and whilst riding, we

recommend the application of the new

Continental RevoSealant.

Prepared for new challenges

The new discipline is called Enduro, which

has been becoming increasingly popular

for some time now. It is the technical

challenge of rapid, hard descents and

exhausting ascents. This requires the

combination of a puncture protecting

construction and fine rolling

characteristics as well as excellent grip.

The proven ProTection layer protects the

tyre reliably against cuts and puncturing

without significantly increasing the weight.

The additional apex side wall stabilisation

reliably protects the tyre against

puncturing even if the tyre pressure is low.

There is also the option of weight

optimisation by driving the tyre together

with the Conti RevoSealant

“TubelessReady”. With an anti-skidding

BlackChili Compound tread optimum

pairing is achieved when efficiently driving

uphill and downhill puncture-free.

Reliable quality

PureGrip is the compound technology of

the new performance quality series. The

name says it all. It stands for grip and

durability. The extremely durable and

strongly adhesive rubber compound will

not let any cyclist down – one of the main

goals in developing the compound

produced in the new Continental factory

in China. A robust 60 TPI Nylon casing

paired with reliable rubber lining promises

durability and allows for tubeless sealing

of the tyre with the Conti RevoSealant

“Tubeless Ready”.

A strong aramid collapsing core provides

firm connection to the rim. By using these

highly advanced materials, the tyres are on

the same level as competing Asian

products and provide the ambitious

amateur athlete with a favourable

alternative made by Continental.

The sidewalls of freeride and downhill

tyres are subjected to extraordinarily high

loads. A rubber profile between the

carcass layers ensures stability. The Apex

sits on the tyre bead and reinforces the

sidewalls of the tyre. The tyre is thus

protected from impact with the rim during

rough rides over rocky ground. The tyre

stays more upright when cornering. It

does not bend over the sides of the rim

when subjected to transverse loads, and

always stays true to the course.

Puncture protection technology at a glance.

SafetyPlusFor E-bikes, we have combined the SafetySystem

Breaker with a highly elastic material. The result is an

extremely puncture and cut resistant casing which,

thanks to its high elasticity, gives especially low rolling

resistance, saving battery power and the environment.

The breaker also meets the demands of the higher

speed e-bikes, of up to 50 km/h. The breaker is also

adapted for the higher acceleration torque of e-bikes

as well as the faster cornering speeds. The specialist

tyre for fast e-bikes and rental bikes.

Puncture-defence With our PolyX Breaker®, we bring PKW know-how to

the bicycle tyre segment: Polyester has been used

successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and

tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester

fibre is woven tightly crosswise. In this way, a very high

fabric density is reached which not only makes the

Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also

especially resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance

is also not negatively affected by the PolyX Breaker®.

The benchmark in puncture protectionVectran™ 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 tyre 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.

Plus Breaker – Maximum safetyBetween the tread and the carcass, a puncture protection

of highly elastic special rubber is used. This practically

impenetrable puncture protection successfully defies all

types of foreign objects from getting to the inner tube

below. Even a drawing pin cannot get through. Tyres with

Plus Breaker can be seen in almost every segment

nowadays: Whether racing cycles, MTB or city/trekking,

the Plus Breaker guarantees maximum safety without

negatively affecting the cycle properties of the tyre. The

consistency of the breaker has been adjusted so that the

tyre does not feel spongy when cornering. The Plus

Breaker is true puncture protection. Please read the air

pressure instructions!

SafetySystem Breaker – Puncture protection with a systemThe SafetySystem Breaker is made up of Kevlar-

reinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-

resistant but nevertheless light and flexible, the tyre

adjusts quickly to the surface below. Without raising the

weight or rolling resistance noticeably, it protects the

carcass against foreign objects and contributes to a

longer lifespan of the tyre. Tyres with the SafetySystem

Breaker also provide good comfort properties.

NyTech BreakerOur new NyTech Puncture ProTection has been

developed based on the proven Continental

SafetySystem Breaker. Its nylon fabric makes it resistant

to punctures and cuts like Kevlar reinforced high

strength fibres, but offers lower rolling resistance and

reduced weight. The NyTech breaker sits between the

SafetySystem and the PolyX Breaker® as a more

effective puncture protection casing in the

performance sector.

Puncture ProTection – Worry-free throughout the dayIf you are looking for a reliable, value for money

companion for every day use, choose a tyre with

Puncture ProTection Breaker. This robust Rubberbreaker

combines with the rubber-reinforced sidewalls of the

tyre to guarantee a high puncture and wear protection.

No frills tyres with a clear focus and durability.

Competition tyresIn serious competitions, sacrifices are sometimes made

by riders looking for that extra 5 %. Sometimes this

means our GP Supersonic is used. It features a high

quality racing carcass but with no puncture protection.

In the race against the clock, weight and rolling

resistance are the top priority – the cyclist has to

gauge the high puncture risk to him/herself.

DuraSkin®Tyres with DuraSkin® sidewall protection have to be

able to roll with the punches. They are used under the

harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tyres

skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross

continents without wearing out. In racing cycling, they

have to endure tough tests such as the Paris-Roubaix.

The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tyre

casing against the worst conditions. These tyres stand

out thanks to their brown sidewalls.

Hardshell – MORE is what you getPuncture protection and mileage are the strengths of

Hardshell-ProTection. A wider PolyX Breaker®, the

specialist against punctures under the tread centre

and shoulders provides for great reliability. The three-

ply – each layer with 60 TPI – carcass covers the entyre

tyre and makes it a real bastion against urban detritus.

The outer sidewalls of the tyre are reinforced with

DuraSkin® fabric providing even more reliablility due to

the casing being so well protected. Hardshell tyres are

the puncture-resistant flagship amongst racing

tyres – produced exclusively in Germany.


Warning – HotspotIn the racing bike field, more and more aluminium or carbon

closed rim profiles are being offered to use with tubeless or

tubeless ready tyres. They no longer exhibit holes in the rim

base. The manufacturer therefore does not use the rim band.

The problem with that is that the resulting heat from the rim

brakes reaches the tyre system unabatedly. Using carbon as

the rim material has the disadvantage of low heat

conductivity. During braking, heat builds up and can

thermally strain tubes and tyres. Without the rim band, it can

lead to sudden tube failures during longer braking [e. g.

during downhill descents]. Latex tubes and lightweight

design tubes below 70 grams can fail particularly quickly.

Continental urgently recommends using an easy tape rim

band even on aluminium and carbon rim closed rim profiles

to protect from direct heat exposure and to reduce the risk of

a tube failure. Moreover, we recommend using principally

race tubes, especially in mountainous areas. We hereby

advise against the use of latex or lightweight design tubes

[“Light”, “Supersonic”]. Continental also advises optimising

riding technique. We recommend you always decelerate with

both brakes in order to distribute the brake heat.

Furthermore, long braking should be avoided. Pulsating

braking allows the rim to cool down – a simple, but effective

trick to get around the heat problem and to enjoy a safe

descent.

Deutsche Technik in detail.

Tyre-rim combinationFor clarification on sizing, all Continental bicycle tyres are

sized according to the ETRTO [European Tyre and Rim

Technical Organisation] format: tyre width [mm] x tyre rim

diameter [mm], for example 23-622. This is placed on the

tyre sidewall. Alternative sizing such as 23x700C or 26 x 2.4

do not give clear information about the necessary rim size.

That is why the internationally recognised ETRTO standard

should always be used when in doubt. In general, Continental

recommends that bicycle tyres only be mounted on hook

edge type rims because this type of rim holds the tyre more

securely, especially with air pressures exceeding 44 PSI. The

measurements for hook edge rims, for example 13C-622, are

given as; rim width in mm [size A], a “C” for crotchet [‘hook’ in

English] and the rim bed diameter in mm [size D]. If the size

information on older rims is not legible, the rim width can

simply be measured using a calliper from one hook edge to

the other. An overview of which rim widths fit which tyres is

available from ETRTO.

Dynamo – PreparationTyres which have the Dynamo symbol have a special profiling

in the side wall and are especially suitable for use with

rotating dynamos. The Dynamo thus runs quieter and does

not slip in wet conditions. Depending on the tyre model,

the dynamo knurl design can vary.

ECO – the energy saving tyresThe tyres with the Continental ECO logo benefit from over

100 years of experience in the development of mopeds and

motorcycle tyres. Optimized and recommended for e-bikes at

speeds of up to 25 km/h, they guarantee low rolling

resistance and good puncture protection with their extra

high quality construction. The durability has been studied on

e-bikes to prevent early wear and tear due to the additional

drive force. Some models, such as the Top CONTACT II, also

have the ECE-R 75 test label which authorizes use on fast

e-bikes up to 50 km/h.

Wide tyres go fasterFor a long time, a 20 mm tyre with 160 PSI or more was

considered the fastest tyre – regardless of how

uncomfortable it is to cycle on this type of tyre. However, it is

impressive that a 23 mm tyre at 123 PSI, a 25 mm tyre at 94

PSI and a 28 mm tyre at 80 PSI have the same rolling

resistance as a 20 mm tyre at 160 PSI.

Yet at the same time, wide tyres offer more comfort and a

broader range of applications – less air for bad roads and

maximum pressure at fast time trials. The air pressure can

also be reduced by 14 PSI in wet conditions to generate

more grip. The trend towards wider wheel rims reflects the

trend towards wider tyres – an optimum combination.

Notes – WeightBuilding light tyres is the declared goal of our

developers and employees in our production facility.

Occasionally however, there are small deviations from the

weight information given in our catalogue. These result

from tolerances in the tread thickness and rubberised

material which cannot be avoided in the handwork of the

manufacturing process. The weight information in the

catalogue is based on the target weights which were

determined in the pre–production series and is rechecked

during the running production repeatedly. Deviations of up

to 10 % of the target weights are thus possible according to

the design.

Notes – Air pressureAir pressure directly influences the handling, durability

and the rolling resistance of a bicycle. Only with the right

operational pressure can a tyre operate to its full potential.

In addition to tyre volumes and cyclist or system weight, the

purpose plays an important role here. Each Continental tyre

has a recommended air pressure on the sidewall and

maximum inflation pressure specification. If the air pressure is

too low, wear increases, and the risk of puncture damage and

tyre slipping increases. Ageing cracks can also occur.

Air pressure which is too high makes the tyre feel rigid as its

optimal elasticity is not realised. Traction, grip and rolling

resistance may get worse. All bicycle tyre systems continually

lose pressure. For this reason you should check your tyre

pressure frequently. Touring bike and mountain bike riders

should check their air pressure at least once a month; racing

cyclists once a week. When using light and supersonic

tubes, the air pressure should be checked before each

ride.
