Description

• This super fast looking city slicker turns any bike into a racer, helping bike messengers meet those tight deadlines or fitness riders who require a faster tyre
• Puncture protection and reliability is taken care of thanks to Continental’s renowned hard wearing tread compound and two SafetySystem anti puncture layers beneath the tread
• An improved 180 tpi (threads per inch) nylon casing increases speed and comfort. This is because the finer casing material deforms more quickly around imperfections in the road surface compared to a lower tpi casing. This feature also improves puncture resistance
• The Contact Speed also features a ‘skinwall’ sidewall. Most city/trekking tyres use a ‘gumwall’ meaning lots of rubber in the sidewall to improve sidewall puncture resistance. A skinwall sidewall is much faster than a gumwall but just a little forward thinking is needed to avoid scuffing kerbs and to always maintain the minimum recommended tyre pressure
• ‘Micro-diamond’ tread pattern rolls fast yet grips on loose debris covering road surfaces like grit, gravel or mud
• Reflective Sidewall
• Able to be used with dynamo lights
• Constructed from 3 plies, totalling 180 tpi
• Weight: 500 grams
