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.
