These tyres are used in the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, on epic travel bikes crossing continents without wearing through and in professional cycling they have to endure tough tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the casing of the tyre and protects the tyre from the worst conditions. These tyres stand out with their brown sidewalls. The slick natural rubber tread is designed to perform well in wet/wintery conditionsPolyX Breaker: 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, making a very high fabric density that makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects and more resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX BreakerHardshell: Puncture 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 threeply - each layer with 60 tpi - carcass covers the entire tyre and makes it a real bastion against urban debris. The outer sidewalls of the tyre are reinforced with DuraSkin® fabric providing even more reliability due to the casing being so well protected. Hardshell tyres are the puncture-resistant flagship amongst racing tyres and are produced exclusively in GermanyBuy Continental Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

This crucially reduces the rolling resistance. It is even smaller than with super light competition tyres. With tubeless, you can ride with less air pressure without restrictions to performance! This brings noticeable advantages in comfort, but also significantly more control in critical situations and on poor routes. Tubeless systems provide very high puncture protection. Sudden air loss due to bursting tubes or valves tearing is ruled out. At the same time, a puncture protection fluid seals incision within a tenth of a second, during the ride.Buy Schwalbe Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
