The R2V2 is without a doubt the most iconic, recognisable product of our range. The sleek seamless tube can be spotted everywhere from track sessions to race expos to finish lines, and has been on the podium of all major races across the globe. Scientifically-designed with ultra-controlled, medical-standard technology, it set a new standard in compression wear which we take pride in improving year after year.Our 2020 updated R2V2 features an exclusive new 3D waved knit: an innovative "waffle effect" technology which offers greater protection to the ankle and Achilles tendon. Improved vertical stretchability further increases comfort and fit.Worn before activities, the sleeve encourages blood flow and prepares muscles and mind for effort. During training and racing, the quick-drying fabric dampens vibrations to limit muscle damage, reduce pain and delay fatigue while reducing lactic acid build-up. The special knee tab is purposely designed to reduce shocks and discomfort around the knee when you're hurtling down rocky trails or beating along pavement.Whether you're aiming for a 10k PB or a UTMB ticket, the R2V2 is one of your most lethal weapons to take on the challenge.
Race-oriented, flagship visor with mesh band for optimal ventilation during high intensity efforts
Wide, lightweight headband offering optimal ventilation and sweat evacuation in hot conditions.
Some of our professional athletes are fans of full-length socks...others prefer a lower cut, yet do not wish to compromise on efficiency and performance.Developed with our toughest competitors in mind and woven on the same medically-approved machines as the rest of our high-performance Oxygen range, the mid-height sock boosts venous return and oxygen supply to the leg muscles. Just like the R2 Oxygen sleeves, no compromise is made on comfort, ventilation or weight. The ultra-thin, soft fibres provide an inimitable second-skin feel and maximum breathability through strategically-placed ventilation stripes. Our by-now signature 3D.Dot technology guarantees excellent grip of the foot in the shoe, reducing the risk of skin overheating and blisters. The integrated arch support prevents the fabric from twisting and offers reassuring stability in rocky terrain, while the stretchy fibres allow your toes to expand naturally on impact for instinctive, fluid running.The efficiency of the sock is highlighted by a trendy, two-tone design: a stylishly-striped upper mesh allows you to train, race, and maybe even go to the office in featherlight footwear which delivers world-class compression and aeration in a classy package.
Narrow, ultra-light microfibre headband for optimal sweat evacuation in hot conditions
A number of our runners requested the benefits of a compression sleeve integrated in a high-performance sock. We obliged! The soft, stretchy fibres of the Full Socks Run offer targeted compression to working muscles for optimal support during road, track or trail sessions. Muscle damage is reduced thanks to dampened vibration, and fatigue is delayed so you can stay focused for longer. Splash through puddles or run in the rain, the socks remain light thanks to fast-wicking ventilation stripes woven directly into the fabric.Our 3D.Dot technology absorbs impacts, protects sensitive areas such as the Achilles tendon and provides micro-massage for increased blood flow. It also guarantees excellent grip of the foot in the shoe, reducing the risk of overheating and blisters caused by excessive movement. The integrated arch support prevents the fabric from twisting and offers reassuring stability in rocky terrain, while the stretchy fibres allow toes to expand naturally on impact for instinctive, fluid running. The sock can also be worn before activity to encourage blood flow and prepare muscles and mind for effort.From the Boston marathon to the trails of Mont Blanc, choose the Full Socks Run for stylish protection and performance.
There are far too many runners, professionals included, who leave the house with taped toes and more band-aids than energy gels stuffed into their belt. Our brand new, Pro Marathon socks are the result of numerous studies to reveal the exact locations where athletes develop sores, and our designers' answer to many painful questions.Be it around the ankle, the toes or the sole of the foot, sensitive areas are thickened or padded for optimal cushioning. Furthermore, precisely-targeted micro-zones are interwoven with anti-bacterial PTFE fibres to prevent skin from over-heating, the usual culprit when it comes to blisters. Our striped weaving technique offers optimal ventilation and moisture wicking. A reinforced Achilles strap provides incredibly stable support while multiplied 3D.Dots absorb a maximum of vibration from the tarmac, stimulate blood flow and increase grip. Higher compression further reduces movement of the foot and improves overall ergonomy. Combined with optimised sweat evacuation this not only guarantees increased comfort, but also contributes to less raw skin in the long run.Once you've completed one pain-free marathon, you might just catch yourself planning another.
Compact tube from Continental made of Butyl rubber to fiti 20" wheels from 1 1/8" -1 1/4". Presta valve inflation and weighs 99 grams. Tubes have a seamless construction, with a mould-cured vulcanisation, to ensure uniform roundness.
Couple this with a higher service mileage and a higher level of comfort thanks to the wider casing, and you get a tubular which is especially forgiving with today's ultra stiff racing bikes. Vectran™ Breaker Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk, like Vectran, has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight – exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bike tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance. BlackChili Compound Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage. TPS TyrePositioning System The narrower front tyre (22mm) provides reduced wind resistance and better handling. An adhesion-optimised tread mixture supplies the necessary grip especially for wet cornering. The wider rear tyre (24mm) offers better traction thanks to a larger contact area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast rolling, optimised tread mixture and larger contact area on the rear tyre, wear is reduced. The result is a pioneering front and rear tyre system for road racing – to be found in Conti’s GP Attack and Force tyres/tubs.
