Black Chili compound 

The mix is what counts. The Black Chili 

compound is only produced in Germany 

and is the result of the latest laboratory 

experiments with polymers and raw 

material producers. 

Continental enriches the rubber with 

soot particles that optimize to 

nano-specifi cations, the form and 

surface specifi cations to which a tyre 

form can optimally function. 

Compared to the previous development 

leader, the Silica tyre, Black Chili 

compound tyres have 26% less rolling 

resistance, 30% more grip traction and 

a 5% higher wear resistance. 

Either with a racing bike or MTB – 

the speed and the performance is 

defi nitely noticeable. 

VectranTM ’s advantage 

VectranTM is a thermoplastic multi-fi ber 

yarn that is made from melted VectraTM fl uid-crystal-polymer, which we use in 

the casing of our top line tyres as 

puncture protection material. VectranTM is more cut-resistant than Aramid, 

fi ve times stronger than steel and also 

lighter than a Nylon Double Breaker. 

It loses no grip when it’s wet.

What‘s so special about a Continental racing tyre? 

Is it its durability, its fi rm grip, its superior breakdown 

resistance, low rolling resistance or look of “speed”? 

Actually, it’s mainly the many skilled hands a Continental 

racing tyre passes through when being made. 

Cycling is a passion, as is German craftsmanship!

The hardcore racers! 

Our Vectran and Black Chili technologies have been radically 

applied to this uncompromising race tyre set. The new 

GP Attack benefi ts from its special version of our Black 

Chili compound that gives the streamlined 22 mm front tyre 

more grip with lower rolling resistance. The optimum front 

wheel tyre gets you quickly into the turns, feeling light and 

responsive whilst providing ample service life. 

The new GP Force is a powerful rear wheel specialist and 

with its 24 mm section combined with a fast Black Chili 

compound, it gives excellent traction and road handling 

that’s second to none. Both tyres are made with Vectran 

puncture protection and show wear and tear levels via 

indicators in the tread, details that show professionals are 

at work. 

Fast, smart, special. 

The Grand Prix 4000s boasts global appeal as the best 

all round race bike tyre on the market. Not only is it fast 

and super grippy, thanks to its state of the art Black Chili 

rubber compound, but it is also tough with a healthy tread 

layer and of course our Vectran anti puncture breaker 

layer underneath. 

So for reliability, longevity and all out performance for your 

race machine, the GP 4000s is the only choice. 

The star in the peloton! 

For the coloured GP 4000 tyres, the activated silica compound 

improves the handling at stability limits and gives 

great rolling resistance. The anti-tear formula in the rubber 

compound prevents tread brittleness while increasing 

mileage performance. Xirallic colours give your machine a 

look of stylish elegance. The extra special thing about the 

GP 4000 and GP 4000s is their puncture protection made 

from Vectran liquid crystal fi bres. 

The patented Vectran Breaker reconciles the confl icting 

goals of low weight, low rolling resistance and top puncture 

and cut resistance in a fascinating manner. The Vectran 

fl uid crystal fi bres were developed for airbag systems in 

the automotive and aerospace industries. The material is 

extremely tear and cut resistant and is also fl exible. 

It retains these properties even under constant stress – 

as opposed to Aramid.

Grand Prix 4-Season 

Grand Prix Triathlon 

Grand Prix Supersonic 

Grand Prix 

Technology from hell! 

Thanks to its DuraSkin anti-tear fabric, the Grand Prix 4-Season 

holds up under extreme conditions. In the Paris – Roubaix 

race, the “Hell of the North”, cyclists equipped with DuraSkin 

enhanced tyres have the fewest tyre related problems during 

the race. Incorporating our special wear resistant carbon compound, 

the tyre is characterized by very good mileage performance 

as well as excellent adhesion on wet roads and at low 

temperatures. With the 23 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm versions, the 

Grand Prix 4-Season makes it possible to select the right tyre 

for various road qualities and comfort requirements. A double 

Vectran breaker belt under the tread raises the puncture and 

cut protection to the highest level available on the market. 

What do German Conti tyres have in common with 

Hawaiian leis? They both adorn the Ironman winner! 

Its Vectran Breaker anti puncture belt withstands even 

sharp-edged volcano ash. With a “speedy” slick tread pattern 

and tightly woven carcass, it is optimized for consistent 

top speeds. Indicators in the tread show the wear rate of 

the tyre and it has all the capability characteristics of the 

Grand Prix 4000 but is styled towards multisports athletes. 

With our Black Chili compound also being a feature of this 

tyre, the GP Triathlon sports all the latest tyre technology 

from Korbach, Germany! 

Faster than the speed of sound! 

With the Grand Prix Supersonic your contact with the road 

can be tuned to minimum weight and minimum rolling 

resistance. Together with a “Race 28 Supersonic” inner 

tube, our quickest tyre weighs only 210 g! The slick rolling 

area made out of a carbon black mixture looks cool and 

is of course made using our Black Chili recipie. But be 

cautious! The Grand Prix Supersonic is a very apt weapon 

in fi ghting for a personal best time, although for this extra 

speed, the tyre does not feature any additional puncture 

protection and has limited mileage use. With this in mind, 

the Grand Prix Supersonic is not a tyre for training! 

The legend lives! 

The name Continental Grand Prix has become a brand in 

its own right in cycling circles. The Grand Prix is THE classic 

tyre and a sign to quality and performance, a claim which 

appears again in the new Grand Prix. Like its predecessor, 

the new generation is eager to set own standards. The new 

Grand Prix leads the trend towards wide tyres in cycling. 

Wider tyres roll easier, have a higher mileage and offer more 

comfort and grip. The main size of the Grand Prix is 24 mm. 

Wide enough to show off the advantages of wider tyres, but 

still light and slim enough to be built into any racing machine.

Ultra Sport Hometrainer 

The long distance runner. 

A durable carbon black mixture, a well regarded puncture 

protection system and the DuraSkin-anti-cut fabric turn 

the Ultra GatorSkin into a real long distance runner. 

In varying widths from 23 mm to 32 mm it can be used on 

the way to work as well as training for road races or for 

sportives and audax. A durable, tough tyre at a really nice 

price. A modern tread design that collects less debris and 

the expansion of the product line to the new dimension 

28-559 for fast MTB street riding. 

Nimble and quick for the ambitious road rider. 

The end of the training ride leads through beautiful landscapes 

– a pleasure. Getting ahead of your training partner 

by sprinting for place-name signs – a must! The Ultra Race 

supports your ambitions. The race orientated tread and 

the quick and comfortable 60 tpi casing plus puncture 

protection emphasizes your technical demands. 

Work out like the pros. 

The new dynamically patterned tread, which can be 

matched to the bike’s frame thanks to four colour options, 

improves the value of any racing bike. Ultra Sport tyres 

make a stunning impact on every training ride and is ideal 

for newcomers to road racing. In addition to the Ultra Sport 

colour versions, the Ultra Sport with SafetySystem offers 

extra puncture protection – the right tyre for all who want 

to safeguard against a troublesome fl at when they are 

underway. 

The roller tyre. 

With a modern roller and the Ultra Sport Hometrainer in 

the house, winter can set in when it wants to. Thanks 

to its special cold-running compound, the Ultra Sport 

Hometrainer doesn’t experience the heat buildup of a road 

tyre, nor does it suffer the tread separation that the road 

tyre is prone to under the special loads occurring when 

in cycling and braking on the roller’s revolving drums. 

The Ultra Sport Hometrainer has been designed explicitly 

for rollers and is not suitable for on-road use.

Conservative road professional or high-tech athlete? 

It is the most reliable of all the tyres in the professional 

peloton and has proven itself time and time again on the 

world race circuit, often accompanying prominent cyclists 

on their way to victory. We are proud of our Competition. 

That’s why we always try to keep him on the road to victory. 

The Competition was the fi rst tyre to feature Black Chili 

compound Vectran anti-puncture breakers. 

The Challenger. 

The all new Grand Prix 4000 Tubular may be missing the 

aura of the old champion, but the challenger is enticing 

professional cyclists with its new technology. A seamless 

casing design improves the rim seating, uniformity and 

rolling resistance. The name, the dynamic tread design 

of the Grand Prix 4000 and of course a Vectran puncture 

protection breaker state the high ambitions of this new tyre. 

Naturally, both competitors enter the race with the innovative 

Black Chili tread mixture. What will you fi t to your 

carbon road wheels? 

The specialist for circuit races or the criterium. 

Its function is in its name. The Sprinter is a fast tyre for the 

shorter road events like criteriums. With a nylon puncture 

protection breaker it is now even more reliable without 

losing its terrifi c rolling qualities. Its fl exible casing and the 

extremely adhesive Black Chili compound keeps contact 

with the road even in fast 90° bends. With its low weight 

and good acceleration it is most defi nitely the fastest tyre 

in the last 400 metres. 

The fast endurance runner. 

Inheriting the best qualities of the highly popular Ultra 

GatorSkin road tyre, namely the durable carbon black 

tread mixture, the effective puncture protection breaker 

layer and the DuraSkin anti-cut fabric. The Sprinter 

GatorSkin itself features the typically comfortable and light 

feel of a tubular tyre. The professional riders use a similar 

combination in their tyres for Paris – Roubaix and other 

equipment destroying classics in the springtime. If you 

want to ‘get the miles in’, but your streets aren’t covered 

with the fi nest tarmac and you prefer the inconspicuous 

function of your tyres, then this is your tubular.

Giro 

Saalsport 

Time Trial onto the Podium. 

A tyre for saving those crucial seconds: The Podium is 

designed as a pure competition tyre for the lonely battle 

against the clock, and is used by professional race teams 

for the solo time trials in ProTour events like the Tour de 

France, Giro d’Italia and others. Like the Sprinter, we 

have also tuned the Podium with Black Chili compound. 

To further reduce its rolling resistance we have reduced 

the thickness of the tread, compared to last years model. 

The Podium is wasted on the training wheels, reserve 

them for race day and watch your time splits fall! 

The tubular tyre for training. 

Tubular tyres are used primarily in competitions because 

of their excellent rolling characteristics and very good dry 

running properties. With the Giro, you can also rely on 

these strengths in training. To ensure that this training tyre 

is excellent value for money, we have the no-frills, robustly 

manufactured Giro made to our specifi cations in Asia. 

Tyres for trick cycling, cycle ball and bicycle polo as 

well as indoor wheelchair sports. 

The Saalsport grips very well on all indoor surfaces and 

does not leave traces of abrasion behind. Its highly fi rm 

casing withstands the extreme strains of indoor cycle 

sports and the high shear force of wheelchair sports. 

The Saalsport tyre is cemented as a tubular tyre onto 

special tub rims. This is the only way to warrant that the 

tyre doesn’t jump off of the rim in narrow bends. According 

to our experience, especially in wheelchair sports a

Olympic 

Sonderklasse 

Tempo 

The tyre of the Olympics. 

The best velodrome race cyclists in the world rely on 

the best indoor tyres in the world: Many victories were 

achieved with the Olympic in World Cups and Olympic 

Games. This is the absolute top product from our tubular 

tyre range, manufactured in Korbach. Every structural 

element is chosen carefully and mounted by hand – 

where a tenth of a second decides races, precision and 

perfection are requested. The Olympic is suitable for all 

velodrome race cycling disciplines. Its highly fi rm casing 

allows a pressure of up to 15 bar and at the same time it 

was optimized for the lowest possible rolling resistance 

and the lowest possible weight. 

Continental-Sonderklasse: 

The classic for 6-day races. 

If the wheels never come to a stop, you can rely on 

Continental. The professional mechanics in the smoky 

halls of the six-day events have placed their trust in the 

Sonderklasse for generations of cyclists. With its fabric 

of fi nely wound cotton yarn, it provides a comfortable 

ride, even at high infl ation pressures. 

The track tyre for Alpe d’Huez. 

As a very lightweight and fast track tyre, the Tempo gathers 

medals at international track events again and again. 

It has already contributed to victories on mountain stages 

and time trials in the Tour de France, demonstrating its 

versatility. But be careful! The Tempo is a pure competition 

tyre and was designed for the track. We explicitly do not 

recommend it for amateur sports on the road.

Cyclocross Mud Tubular 

The name says it all! 

As a manufacturer of high-end tubulars we have 

bundled our whole experience and reputation of tyres like 

Competition and Co. into our latest Cyclocross tubulars. 

If a tyre deserves the name ‘all-rounder’, it is the World 

Cup! The World Cup is a cross tyre which feels comfortable 

on almost every race track. The all-round profi le and its light 

carcass make the World Cup the fi rst choice among our 

professional riders. Whether high-speed winding passages 

or sandy ramps, the World Cup breeds confi dence for its 

riders, taking them safely over the fi nish line. Available as a 

32 mm tyre or 35 mm for fans of comfort over speed. 

When every second counts …! 

Its diamond tread dovetails with the ground and still offers 

minimum rolling resistance. Strong shoulder lugs guide the 

rider gently through the curves and helps grind out a good 

race result. Its 35 mm carcass is comfortable, and performs 

well in the heavy stuff. 

Klaus-Peter Thalers fi rst choice? 

Cross races have changed, but our standards remain the 

same. Whether in wet conditions or semi-dry tacky gloop, 

Cyclocross Mud attacks it all. Because of its open tyre 

profi le they don‘t clutter with mud and reliably fi nd their his 

way through the deepest terrain. Thanks to the slight 

32 mm carcass the mud ensures enough frame clearance 

and guarantees unimpeded riding.

The whole-year tyre for the Trekking bike. 

Tarmac roads, sandy parkways or a rough gravel track, 

no problem for the new Cyclocross. With the 42 mm wide 

carcass, leisure riders will mainly benefi t & appreciate this 

tyre. The rough profi le makes it your faithful companion 

for all conditions. 

The CX racing clincher. 

The Cyclocross race makes its case with a voluminous 

35 mm carcass and has a racer‘s heart beat. It promises 

the convenience of riding tubulars without having to deal 

with the cumbersome putty. Even at low air pressure, 

perfect balance between grip, comfort and low rolling 

resistance is provided. 

For hard and frozen soil. 

The Cyclocross Speed is the thoroughbred in wire bead 

cyclocross tyres as the counterpart to its tubular neighbours. 

In addition to the 35 mm carcass, cyclocross is 

available with a 42 mm wide carcass and is convincing 

on any city or trekking tour. 

The start of a new era! 

The Speed King masters the challenges presented 

by marathon trails and marathon races. This tyre is 

aggressive, lightweight and it has the stamina for those 

long races. With 4 mm high lugs, it out-performs many 

other tyres when it comes to endurance and the tall lugs 

perform well over loose or muddy terrain and after many 

kilometers they’re still going when other competitors 

have long since given up.

The home terrain of MTB tyres is utterly unpredictable – quite 

as unpredictable, in fact, as the bikers’ individual riding styles. 

The very latest CAD is, of course, used to shape tread patterns 

like the GravityArc and EndlessEdge, but it is out on open 

trails around the world that we get the inspiration for these tyres 

and later test them. To make sure no time is lost in implementing 

improvements, we maintain the sole MTB tyre production 

facility all-over Germany. There we manufacture the prototypes 

for our later production stars and for Continental’s – absolutely 

exclusive – featherweight Supersonic models.

Handmade in Germany! 

Mountain bike tyres handmade in Germany – 

the Korbacher Series. 

Why are there Continental MTB tyres that contain 

“Black Chili compound” and others that do not? 

Races and tests, having been met with success, 

prove Korbach tyres to be of an exceptional quality. 

„Handmade in Germany“ tyres are in fact something 

quite exceptional. 

Every tread featured on the following pages is 

sporting the “made in Germany” seal is available 

in a state-of-the-art model manufactured in Korbach. 

Precisely the desired setup an Irina Kalentieva, 

a Wolfram Kurschat or a Richie Schley are 

looking for. 

Sometimes needed to be a supersonic structure, 

at other times a heavy downhill double carcase 

was sought. 

We constantly refi ne our “handmade” tyres. 

Any newly developed mixture ensuring speed and 

grip and tested on trail by our riders will go from 

our wizard’s kitchen – the lab – straight to being 

incorporated into our Korbacher Series. 

As soon as an improved tyre structure is being 

developed by our Conti Cup Team – bam, 

immediate production! Freedom of development 

ranks above routine policy here. 

Of course fl exibility, creativity and trail proximity 

come at a price. ... but, hey, if that means 

upped speed!!!

Spiritual head and secular ruler. 

In the laboratory, Der Kaiser shows off with its profi le 

design, angles and the compound recipe. On rocky, muddy 

slopes he supports the efforts and hopes of his racer. 

The insignia of the Kaiser are the newly drawn tread profi le, 

the soft Black Chili compound and the strong double 

carcass. The mountainside is his palace! 

Downhill in the rain. 

Mounting spiked tyres. Slipping into your wet gear. 

Slipping off the pedals. Shiny roots. Squealing brakes. 

Smeared goggles. The chain crunches. Finish line. 

Pressure washer. Sweaty uplift smell. Start all over again! 

Big and small queen. 

Extra soft Black Chili compound makes our Rubber Queen 

2.4 one hot chica! It’s phenomenal grip on even wet rocks 

and roots is just captivating. 

The side walls of our Rubber Queen are cushioned with 

an apex. This special form not only protects against punctures 

tubes but stabilizes tyres when you really push the 

tyres hard into corners. Brake, drop, push the curve – the 

Rubber Queen never bails out. For it not to remain a mere 

fl irtation the Rubber Queen is the faithful type. 

Rubber Queen 2.2 is more petite. But don’t be deceived, 

the little sister is just as cunning as it’s big sister. Wild 

Trails and Killer loops, Alp-crossing, as long as the partying 

continues! Touring suitability is ensured by a voluminous 

and light structured carcase. “Well-made in Germany” 

the Rubber Queen 2.2 shines with the allround Black Chili 

compound. Grips superbly with an unexpectedly low-rolling 

resistance. With the tyre available in basic wire and folding 

formats with no extras like apex, black chilli or german 

manufacture, it is a tyre for all price ranges!

What is special about ProTection? 

Continental Mountain bike tyres are built in different versions. 

Tyres with the same tread vary in the core, in the structure of casing and in the rubber compound. 

Take for example, the Explorer – it is available in the following versions: 

Explorer: 84 tpi casing with wire bead for an economical solution. 

ProTection: Light 170 tpi casing with a foldable Kevlar bead and DuraSkinTM enhanced sidewalls with cut-resistant technology. 

Supersonic: Weight-optimized version with a light 170 tpi casing and foldable Kevlar bead. 

UST: Tubeless version with 310 tpi and foldable Kevlar bead. 

By the way, all of our casings are built with a bias angle of 45°. Only this thread angle provides 

the best compromise between high casing fl exibility, low friction and excellent adhesion and stability.

World champion! 

The Race King has presented itself as any talented 

newcomer in the best possible manner: With victories! 

Irina Kalentieva took its fi rst prototype to podiums of 

both the MTB worldcup and the world cup Championships. 

Large volume casing combined with low profi le tread 

pattern and Black Chili compound are just what ensures a 

head start on fast paced technical worldcup racing tracks 

and marathon pists. 

ProTection and basic variants are not made in Germany and 

are available without Black Chili compound. 

New 1.9 narrow mud tyre which bites deep down. 

Replacing our Survival 2.1, the Edge 1.9 continues the 

tradition of great german mud tyre designs. Only those who 

take the speed through the bends in XC races lead at the 

fi nish. This requires a tyre with a strong lateral adhesion. 

The Edge’s tread is equipped with our new adhesion 

mixture and the tyre has a narrow, open and rough tread 

design. This is the reason why it is the ideal tyre for rainy 

race days or for simply being the mud tyre choice on the 

weekend trail rides. 

The Freeride Powerplant. 

A 2.5 tyre has to withstand a lot of heavy freeride abuse, 

that‘s obvious! The Diesel doesn‘t just withstand a lot, 

it is lightweight as well. The Diesel excels not only on 

downhill stretches, but it makes things a whole lot easier 

when heading uphill. A true all-rounder. The favourable 

wire version was equipped with additional reinforcement 

for bike park use, where the only thing that counts is the 

durability measured in drops and jumps.

Tyres of the width 2.3 are versatile. They can be used 

on low mountain trails just as well as the Alpencross. 

The round tyre cross-section typical for Continental and 

the GravityArc tread lead to playful handling. The tyre can 

be turned easily in curves and reliably sinks its claws into 

loose surfaces. The Gravity‘s aggressive appearance does 

not contradict its running smoothness – an advantage that 

is appreciated especially on asphalt stretches. Incidentally, 

it’s the tyre selected by a certain Greg “HB” Herbold. 

The modern classic. 

The Vertical has everything a classic tyre needs. It is at 

home on all trails, really showing what it can do when the 

terrain turns rugged. Still the top choice for tours in Alpine 

terrain where low weight and high puncture protection are 

paramount. What the press say “If we were to choose one 

tyre to serve us all year round, it would be the Continental 

Vertical ProTection ... We know riders who swear by these 

tyres and we can see why ...” MBR Magazine. 

The Marathon specialist. 

Designed as an intermediate tyre for cross country trail 

riding and racing, the Vapor concentrates on fast rolling, 

using the Gravity Arc tread design. Wide centre lugs keep 

the tyre rolling fast whilst the Arcs (lug bases) in the shoulders 

create stable handling under cornering for predictable 

handling. Worth a try for XC marathon racers looking for 

faster lap times and good puncture protection. 

The all-round athlete. 

Exceptionally successful intermediate cross country tyre. 

Its spikey “Endless Edge” tread design hooks up on loose 

surfaces at all angles of lean and the sharp lugs clear mud 

effi ciently for when the sky opens and the trails get rainswept. 

For the racers of tomorrow, the Explorer is available 

in smaller sizes for children’s bikes.

Twister Supersonic 1.9 

CrossCountry 

Double Fighter II 

Traffi c 

Spike Claw 

The speed master. 

A tyre for cross-country competition in dry/hard conditions. 

Thanks to its new feature, the Black Chili tread compound, 

the Twister offers the lowest possible rolling resistance 

and unbelievable adhesion. Weighing in at a mere 370 g, 

the Twister Supersonic is a true tuning component which 

doesn‘t slow things down in the least. But beware, Supersonic 

tyres offer limited puncture protection compared to 

other formats. 

The special tyre for muddy trails. 

Ideal for deep surfaces and mud. The tyre sinks in until 

fi rm ground ensures traction. The CrossCountry makes it 

possible to ride cyclo-cross races with the MTB. 

For sporty MTB‘s and Trekking bikes. 

The Double Fighter is back! In a sturdy gumwall design 

for urban biking. It rolls smoothly and quietly on asphalt. 

Its side lugs give it the right tracking bite on park and 

gravel paths. The ideal combination for turning a proven 

knobbly all-terrain tyre into one good for zipping around 

the metro area. 

Look lean and mean in the city. 

The 2009 season‘s new profi le designed for the everyday 

mountain bike in the city and the country-side. This bridge 

profi le will always provide a peaceful and rapid run on the 

road. The very stiff construction and the robust side wall 

protect from the dangers of big city life. Also available with 

a refl ective sidewall for higher safety. 

The MTB tyre for true vikings. 

Studs in the tread bars provide grip on ice and snow. 

Thanks to its open tread, it has good self-cleaning 

properties and gets where it is going in mud and snow. 

The Spike Claw barely sinks into the surface by virtue of 

its large volume. Available with either 120 or 240 studs 

of hardened steel.

Touring and city bike tyres are pretty much expected to offer 

a little bit of everything. Reliable traction & steering, even 

with shopping bags slung around the handlebars, puncture 

protection on stretches as rough as Australia’s thorn-strewn 

paths, and high effi ciency when vying for the distinction of 

world bike messenger champion. All of this is a piece of 

cake for our Contact series of tyres.

TravelContact 

Handmade in Germany. 

Any touring tyre has not been able to make that claim for 

a long time now. The TopContact picks up where “Pneumatics”, 

“Super Corsas” and “Top Tourings” left off. Just 

like its predecessors, it is ahead of its time thanks to new 

materials and design features. State-of-the-art polymers, 

VectranTM puncture protection material, and the prevailing 

German production quality set the TopContact Refl ex 

apart from all the others. 

Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem 

Guarantee! 

For the northern winter. 

The TopContact Winter comes with a very adhesive 

temperature-resistant winter tyre mixture. Microspikes are 

built into the tread profi le. They are made from raw, sharp 

edged silicon carbide granulate and give the tyre tight grip 

even on frozen surfaces. Compared to metal-spike tyres, 

the TopContact Winter is just as easy to control on a dry 

surface as a summer tyre. 


Guarantee! 

Fast, safe and comfortable – guaranteed! 

The Contact is the jack-of-all-trades amongst city and trekking 

tyres. Its tread design is based upon the principles of 

bionics. A uniform center tread/belt assembly ensures a 

smooth and speedy ride on the road. Flexible shoulder lugs 

and fi ne sipes guarantee grip in curves and on loose surfaces. 

The overall tyre construction rounds off the overall high 

quality. The ultra fi ne carcass fabric reduces the rolling resistance 

while providing a noticeably more comfortable ride. 


Guarantee! 

The globetrotter. 

You can‘t develop a tyre for globetrotters on the drawing 

board. So that is why all of Tilmann Waldthaler‘s experience 

has been put to use in the development of the TravelContact. 

His requirements were obvious: a robust carcass with 

a high carrying capacity and protection against chafi ng and 

cuts, effective puncture resistance and last but not least, 

a tread that makes it possible to explore paths around the 

world quickly and safely. A foldable version is of course 

also available to take along as a spare. The TravelContact 

is ideal for touring all kinds of routes – along the Weser 

river in Germany or the best bikespots in the world.

CityRIDE 

The chic and sporty city speedster. 

If you don‘t dream of using the car as a means of transportation 

in the rush hour, then the CityContact Refl ex is just 

what you’re looking for. Thanks to its slick tread, a lot of 

rubber comes into contact with the road surface on hard 

asphalt. Despite the enormous grip, the rolling resistance 

is minimal. Fit your bike with the 54-mm-version, and this 

wide tyre will give you a totally new ride experience. Irregularities 

in the road are dampened, so your back and wrists 

are treated gently. 


Guarantee! 

Traffi c signal sprinter! 

The SportContact turns any bike into a racer. The 26” 

version helps the bike messenger meet those deadlines 

while the 700C tyre gets the fi tness biker into a speed frenzy. 

All this added speed for your bike with zero detriment to 

puncture protection and reliability! Extremely fi ne and strong 

carcass plies, SafetySystem puncture protection and 

refl ector strips are all integral features of the Contact 

tyre family. 


Guarantee! 

Diffi cult routes made easy. 

It’s a cool and easy ride with the TownRide. This tyre 

combines an adherent touring profi le with a light carcass 

structure. A well-equipped touring bike doesn’t have to be 

heavy. You can get the TownRide as a standard light-touring 

model from many renowned bicycle manufacturers. 

The tough and quick tyre for the city. 

Fast and tough, built for the demands of the city. Cycling 

through the city comfortably and safely is what the leisure 

commuter demands. This is possible with the CityRIDE. 

Due to its inverted tread design it has a great contact patch 

to the road and low rolling resistance, which means a faster 

ride. A new Rubber Breaker strip under the tread protects 

from punctures.

Touring Plus Refl ex 

TourRIDE 

Don’t be afraid of the puncture devil! 

A compact, highly elastic rubber breaker makes the 

Touring Plus extremely resistant. Stones, glass splinters and 

thorns have no chance. Whatever you ride over can’t break 

or pierce the Security Breaker layer underneath the tread. 

The layer strength of the Breaker is adapted to the rolling 

movement of the tyre. The Touring Plus Refl ex remains very 

comfortable in spite of its protective coating and rolls and 

steers very lightly. 


Guarantee! 

Versatile, safe and durable. 

The TourRIDE offers everything a real all-round tyre needs. 

A tread for every intended surface, the obligatory 

breakdown protection belt and a high mileage compound 

ensure the TourRIDE is a trustworthy option for many 

carefree miles.

Casings and Tpi 

Casing construction and specifi cations 

for Continental tyres 

We mainly use nylon fabric to build up our bicycle tyre casings. This 

material has an extremely high tensile strength, and can withstand the 

effects of weather during biking, and can also be processed easily in 

combination with rubber. Continental uses the four quality grades 

22 tpi, 28 tpi, 60 tpi and 110 tpi. 

Tpi is the number of fabric threads per inch or per 2.54 cm. 

The fi ner the fabric, the more fl exible and puncture-proof the tyre will 

be. The coarser the fabric, the more rigid and cut-resistant the tyre. 

So the right choice of fabric depends on the intended application. 

We add anti-puncture reinforcement to the basic three-ply casing. 

This may be in the form of a single-ply or two-ply Nylon Breaker. 

It may be additionally reinforced with Kevlar or be made from 

rubber. In our Grand Prix 4000 and Competition high-performance 

tyres we now incorporate a breaker made from Vectran, a liquid 

crystal fi bre with ultra-high resistance to cuts and punctures. 

2,54 cm Tread 

To enable you to understand the tyre’s construction, our tyre specifi 

cations indicate the number of plies in the basic casing, the total 

number of fabric threads in the three plies of the basic casing and the 

type of puncture protection: 

110 threads per 2.54 centimeters 

of a single layer of fabric 

Puncture-proof plies 

Casing 

Beads 

For instance: 

Grand Prix 4000: 

3/330 + Vectran Breaker is equivalent to: 

3 Fabric plies/3*110 tpi + Vectran Breaker 

Contact: 3/180 + SafetySystem 

is equivalent to: 

3 Fabric plies/3*60 tpi + 

SafetySystem Breaker 

Olympic: 2/220 is equivalent to: 

2 plies (aramid in this case) / 2*110 tpi 

Patented and lightweight sidewall protection 

Improved sidewall protection 

An extremely durable polyamide fabric that protects the extra-fi ne, 

high- performance casing from cuts, punctures and abrasion. 

Lightweight durability 

Continental’s proprietary production process applies the DuraSkin 

fabric to only the exposed sidewall area resulting in a mere 10 grams 

of added weight. 

All new appearance 

DuraSkin’s mesh layer adds a high-tech look to our entyre line 

of performance MTB tyres. 

The term ProTection indicates that a tyre has DuraSkin technology.

Compound technology 

The tread compound is the starting point of any tyre. It makes the 

difference between a good and bad tyre. The secret formulas hold the 

key to why one tyre performs better than the next and why one tyre 

grips the surface securely whilst another spins off out of control. 

It is no secret what the basic materials are, but the art, just as with a 

fi ne wine, lies in how the manufacturer combines the extras. 

Elastomers: natural and synthetic rubber determine the basic 

properties of the compound. Rubber is the main component of the 

compound. The rubber determines the grip, the rolling resistance 

and the wear of the tread. 

Fillers or reinforcers: this is where carbon blacks and silicates are 

used. They determine the hardness and the elasticity of the rubber. 

Sulphur: during vulcanisation, the sulphur cross-links with the 

polymer chains of the rubber and transforms the plastic raw 

compound into elastic rubber. 

Oils, waxes and dyes: they improve the processing and give the 

tyres their colour. 

Antioxidants: they protect the compound against environmental 

infl uences, e. g. ozone, UV. 

The innovation in puncture protection 

Vectran is a multifi bred thermoplastic yarn, made of melted Vectra 

Liquid Crystal Polymer. Vectran is the only LCP fi bre in the world, 

which is made using a spinning process. Reinforcing and matrix fi bres 

made of Vectran, are lightweight, extremely durable, have reliable 

longevity and are fi ve times stronger as steel. 

With a layer (breaker) of Vectran under the tread, the tyre is protected 

from breakdowns more effi ciently than with a Nylon Double Breaker. 

This is because a single Vectran layer is lighter, more fl exible and 

stronger than the two nylon layers. 

Airtight 

The new processing techniques have succeeded in our existing puncture 

protection deposits to supplement our new PolyX Breaker. For the fi rst time 

we have used polyester as Breaker material and rely on our experience in 

car tyres, where we have used polyester successfully for many years. 

The advantage of our new PolyX fabric lies however in details. The fi bers are 

often crossed in the manufacturing process. This gives us a dense fabric 

with a minimum of space between the individual threads. 

Result: Whether sharp thorns or large shards, PolyX is failsafe and is very 

resistant to any kind of foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance.

-Guarantee 

No matter what happens – prepared for any awkward 

fl at tyre situations we offer the solution: 

12 months guaranteed breakdown cover. When is cycling most fun? 

In particular if no thought is being wasted on fl at tyres. Continental 

offers an immediate guarantee: The SafetySystem Guarantee. 

If debris manages to puncture your tyre despite SSP breakdown cover, 

tyre and tube will be replaced free of charge. 

SSP is only available at Continental, valid for all City/Trekking tyres 

with SSP breakdown cover. 12 months coverage. Whatever happens! 

Please note the guarantee card on your tyre.* 

Maximum protection 

When the conditions are the worst and only the maximum puncture 

protection will get you where you want to be, Continental Security- 

System is the reliable answer. SecuritySystem utilizes an extra-duty, 

highly elastic casing belt that is virtually impervious to thorns, glass 

and other road debris. 

TyrePositioningSystem TM 

· TPS is the systematic approach that puts race tyres on a new 

performance level 

· Race tyres for the front wheel have different responsibilities to the 

rear tyre and so our TPS tyres team up perfectly to give the optimal 

racing performance. 

· The lightweight 22 mm tyre is the perfect size for attacking turns 

safely whilst also rolling fastly and cutting through the air effi ciently. 

The extra sticky Black Chili TPS front compound assures a safe 

passage through the corners, even in damp criterium races. 

· The 24 mm rear tyre has a harder wearing rear TPS Black Chili compound, 

necessary due to the extra weight applied to the rear wheel. 

This ensures that your race tyres will last beyond the fi rst few early 

season races, and well into the summer program. The extra width 

will roll just as fast as the front tyre, whilst providing a wider footprint 

for safer cornering and a more comfortable ride, especially benefi cial 

in the longer races. 

*Excluded are tyre damages caused by: low air pressure, vandalism, miscellaneous people-or property 

damage on i.e. clothes or bike including work carried out by a bike retailer. More information available in 

our SafetySystem Guarantee handbook.

The ultimate speed experience 

Supersonic guarantees the ultimate speed experience. The Super- 

Sonic product line for racing bikes and mountain bikes are the ultimate 

speed weapon – faster in the race, in time trials or marathons. Each 

Supersonic product is optimized because of extremely low weight and 

reduced rolling friction. All elements of the Supersonic tyres and tubes 

are limited to the absolutely technically necessary. This refers to the 

thickness of the tyre casing and the thickness of the tread compounds 

and the wall thickness of the tubes. 

We only use the fi nest materials: high-quality nylon for the casing, 

the latest Black chili rubber compound technology and sophisticated 

profi le designs for the various operating conditions. To be uncompromising 

in weight and rolling resistance also means cuts in other tyre 

properties. The performance and the breakdown protection of Supersonic 

tyres are not comparable with those of our best all-round tyres. 

Our engineers and chemists have provided technical excellence, 

with the SuperSonic products to be top notch in the racing and tuning. 

With a similar capacity for innovation, we offer the amateur athletes 

alternatives to the whole range of advantages from our high-quality 

racing tyres. 

Continental Tubeless Tyres for the 

Universal System Tubeless 

· Tubeless Tyres by Continental work with both UST and Rigida/ 

Nagesti rims and wheels. 

· Tyre and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary 

and pinchfl ats not possible anymore. 

· In comparison to the conventional system, the tyre pressure can 

be lowered. The comfort of the ride increases. 

· At a lower tyre pressure the tyre defl ects more. The contact patch 

of the tyre increases and the tread adapts to the ground better. 

Tubeless tyres allow decreased air pressure and therefore deliver 

more traction. 

ProTection 

Reliability under all conditions 

Not every ambitious cyclist thrives for every gained second, a place on 

the podium or the saving of the last gram. Some rather prefer longevity, 

reliability and a high puncture protection. Protection tyres are aimed at 

“AlpsCrossers” and all those who search for high-quality carefree tyres 

to accompany them through the whole season. Protection tyres use 

our high-tech sidewall pro-tection “DuraSkin” and thus advance to our 

most puncture protected tyres.

Deutsche Technik since 1871 

This is the spirit that motivates our 

engineers and everyone involved in 

the production to create new ideas such 

as the “Grand Prix Attack and Force” 

and “GP 4000s” with its puncture 

protection technology and also our 

Black Chili compound. 

Innovations that underline the “handmade” 

technological competence of our factory 

in Korbach. 

German technology since 1871 

Over 100 years of experience in the 

manufacturing of bicycle tyres has 

made Continental into a unique, 

outstanding company. 

This uniqueness shows in the range of 

Continental products for bike riders. 

Continental tyres are not only designed 

in the technological and development 

center of the two-wheel division in 

Hessian Korbach, but also mostly produced 

in Germany. As a global company, 

we also have hi-tech branches outside 

of Germany but our focus is naturally 

“Handmade in Germany”. 

That’s why Continental is the only 

bicycle tyre manufacturer in Germany. 

Germany, Continental production plant, Korbach. At Continental working, f.l.t.r.: Ursula König; Ulf Günzel; Bärbel Disterheft; Sigrid Sander. 

Teamwork.
