◌Continental Terra Hardpack Shieldwall Foldable TyreThis versatile tyre is engineered for performance, whether you're dominating your way around the cyclocross (CX) course or planning an adventure across mixed terrains on your gravel dropbar bike. It features a high-quality PureGrip compound that provides a fantastic balance of grip, elasticity and smooth-rolling properties. Continental has also equipped this model with its prestigious ShieldWall System, which is an extra puncture protection layer that consists of a finely woven cross fabric. As a result, it achieves a high level of resistance against punctures and damage, while also delivering a high degree of flexibility to adapt perfectly to the ground. One final highlight is its tubeless ready technology, which allows you to run lower tyre pressures and enjoy tubeless benefits such as greater stability on rough terrain, increased comfort and fewer chances of flats.Features: Compound: PureGrip Puncture Protection: ShieldWall Use: Cyclocross (XC), Gravel ETRTO: 27.5" Option: 50-584; 29" Option: 50-622 TPI: 3/180 Bead: Folding Tubeless Ready: Yes Single or Pair: Single Weight: 27.5" Option: 485g; 29" Option: 530gTechnologies: PureGrip Compound: Advanced performance level compound.
