The ultimate speed experience<br />

Supersonic guarantees the ultimate speed experience. The Super-<br />

Sonic product line for racing bikes and mountain bikes are the ultimate<br />

speed weapon – faster in the race, in time trials or marathons. Each<br />

Supersonic product is optimized because of extremely low weight and<br />

reduced rolling friction. All elements of the Supersonic tyres and tubes<br />

are limited to the absolutely technically necessary. This refers to the<br />

thickness of the tyre casing and the thickness of the tread compounds<br />

and the wall thickness of the tubes.<br />

We only use the fi nest materials: high-quality nylon for the casing,<br />

the latest Black chili rubber compound technology and sophisticated<br />

profi le designs for the various operating conditions. To be uncompromising<br />

in weight and rolling resistance also means cuts in other tyre<br />

properties. The performance and the breakdown protection of Supersonic<br />

tyres are not comparable with those of our best all-round tyres.<br />

Our engineers and chemists have provided technical excellence,<br />

with the SuperSonic products to be top notch in the racing and tuning.<br />

With a similar capacity for innovation, we offer the amateur athletes<br />

alternatives to the whole range of advantages from our high-quality<br />

racing tyres.<br />

<strong>Continental</strong> Tubeless <strong>Tyre</strong>s for the<br />

Universal System Tubeless<br />

· Tubeless <strong>Tyre</strong>s by <strong>Continental</strong> work with both UST and Rigida/<br />

Nagesti rims and wheels.<br />

· <strong>Tyre</strong> and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary<br />

and pinchfl ats not possible anymore.<br />

· In comparison to the conventional system, the tyre pressure can<br />

be lowered. The comfort of the ride increases.<br />

· At a lower tyre pressure the tyre defl ects more. The contact patch<br />

of the tyre increases and the tread adapts to the ground better.<br />

Tubeless tyres allow decreased air pressure and therefore deliver<br />

more traction.<br />

ProTection<br />

Reliability under all conditions<br />

Not every ambitious cyclist thrives for every gained second, a place on<br />

the podium or the saving of the last gram. Some rather prefer longevity,<br />

reliability and a high puncture protection. Protection tyres are aimed at<br />

“AlpsCrossers” and all those who search for high-quality carefree tyres<br />

to accompany them through the whole season. Protection tyres use<br />

our high-tech sidewall pro-tection “DuraSkin” and thus advance to our<br />

most puncture protected tyres.<br />
