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.

The Terra range has been designed with the gravel rider in mind, from back roads to bridleways this tyre always rewards effort with speed. Continental have ensured options are available to fulfill the needs of any rider as this new style of highly explorative riding continues to be defined. The Trail is the gnarlier of the two Terra variants which Continental offer. These tyres have been desgined with a raised shoulder tread to optimise cornering grip. The larger and slightly more spaced out centre line tread brings additional straightline grip and enables mud to clear the tyre more effectively. Continental offer the Terra range in two casing and rubber compound options. The top tier tyre features a ProTection 3 ply tuebless casing and the top secret 'handmade in Germany' Black Chili compound. The second option features a Shieldwall construction for preventing surface abrasion of the sidewalls and the durable Pure Grip compound which is proven in both road and off-road applications.
Continental Mountain King Cyclocross Tyre Welcome to the mud! In muddy MTB cross-country races, the Mountain King has already made a name and is now the mud specialist in the cyclocross segment. Thanks to its deep profile, the Mountain King digs deep into the sturdier ground beneath any soft mud. The large studs also roll pretty well on harder ground. The shoulder lugs are intentionally separated from the centre lugs so that they can cut deep into the ground in cornering and off-camber terrain. BlackChili Compound offers outstanding grip with good self-cleaning. Feedback from testers: 'Like riding on a track'. Specifications: ETRTOSizeWeightBeadTechnologyPSI - Rec.
