The spikes work best on ice when running at minimum pressure, while at maximum pressure the tyres can be ridden on ice-free roads with minimal road noise. In order to ensure that spikes are permanently fixed, tyres should be run in for about 40km on asphalt, while avoiding any fast acceleration or heavy braking. SMARTGUARD FLAT-LESS The safest puncture belt for bicycle tyres. Unbeatable for more than 15 years. It has proved itself in practice more than any other tyre. Only tyres with SmartGuard are real flat-less tyres. Spikes F&Q's Can it also be ridden on a normal road? Without any problem, but if the road is only rarely covered with snow the resulting tyre noise may prove annoying. And it won't slide out in cornering? No. The spikes 'claw' really well into normal asphalt roads and even fast cornering is not a problem. Aren't spikes illegal? Bike tyre spikes are no problem. Only motor vehicles spikes are prohibited in some countries, because they damage the road. Fast E-bikes are however considered motor vehicles. Do the tyres have to be run in? In order to ensure that spikes are permanently fixed, tyres should be run in for about 25 miles on asphalt, while avoiding any fast acceleration or heavy braking. What is the lifespan of the spikes? All Schwalbe spikes have a core made of extremely hard-wearing tungsten carbide, so they can cover a few thousand miles. It is normal for the spike edges to round off and for them to become more deeply embedded.

This trail-ready mountain bike (MTB) tyre features the prestigious TriTec compound, which uses three compounds to deliver maximum grip, traction and rolling efficiency wherever your ride takes you. WTB has also kitted out this model with E25 compatibility, which means that its sidewall is designed to withstand the additional weight and forces of electric mountain bikes (E-MTB). Its E25 compatibility is constructed with additional material to not only strengthen the tyre and prevent punctures but also to provide additional support throughout the tyre. Benefitting from a TCS Tough/High Grip configuration, its glue-like conforming rubber draped over two full layers of casing leaves no area unprotected. Developed through real testing during the Enduro World Series, TCS Tough tyres can take some serious abuse. Race-Ready MTB Tyre with TCS Tubeless Technology Whether you're into trail riding, E-MTB riding or enduro racing, this tyre's Tubeless Compatible System (TCS) means that a wide range of riders can take advantage of its tubeless compatibility. Thanks to TCS technology, you'll enjoy tubeless benefits such as the ability to run lower pressures, increased stability on rough terrain and fewer risks of flats or punctures. Aggressive, premier, and unwavering…those were all words we used to describe the original, highly esteemed Vigilante 2.3 and they still ring true for all these widths of the updated Vigilante tread. Square-lugged knobs still deliver unwavering traction, yet with added height to ensure they dig even deeper into loose, unpredictable terrain. Increased circumferential spacing allows the tread to remain clear through wet conditions while keeping the casing protected from spiteful rocks. Technologies: TriTec Compound: Three compounds provide optimal levels of traction, support and durability. A base of high durometer rubber supports the entire tread and transitions into the knobs to prevent folding or squirming. Medium stiffness centre knobs cap the base layer to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while soft compound side knobs deliver maximum grip and slow rebound for increased cornering traction. TCS Tough/High Grip: Glue-like conforming rubber draped over two full layers of casing leaves no area unprotected. Developed through real testing during the Enduro World Series, TCS Tough tyres can take some serious abuse. E25 Compatible: Tyres with an E25 icon on the sidewall are designed to withstand the additional weight and forces of modern e-bikes. E25 tyres are constructed with additional material to not only strengthen the tyre and prevent punctures but also provide additional support throughout the tyre. Tubeless Compatible System (TCS): TCS is WTB's standardised tubeless rim/tyre system designed to meet international ETRTO standards and provide the most reliable tubeless system available. Pairing WTB’s legendary casings and tread compounds with a Tubeless Folding bead delivers the increased traction and reliability of a tubeless tyre at a lower weight than any tubed alternative.

Dual Compound Two compounds used within the tread of select tyres to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip. EXO Protection Technology An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants.
Borrowing a proven tread pattern from the venerable Grand Prix, the SuperSport Plus now features our PlusBreaker belt guaranteed to provide superior puncture protection. Robust, extyra-thick casing rubber provides excellent sidewall durability, while added material in the tread strip defines tread life like no other conti tyre.
As used by Irina Kalentieva who won two World Championships on Race King tyres as well as countless other wins, this folding MTB tyre offers amazingly fast and smooth performance on every ride. It features Continental's PureGrip compound that provides great grip, high durability and excellent mileage. Ready for any off-road situation, it also comes equipped with SheildWall technology for fantastic puncture protection on your MTB adventures. Technologies: PureGrip: Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at our Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name “PureGrip”, is ranked just behind our BlackChili Compound and is being used in our performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei (Asia). SheildWall System: The ShieldWall system combines the optimum combination of high puncture protection and the low rolling resistance with low weight. This is made possible by an additional, all-round puncture protection layer, which consists of a finely woven cross fabric. This gives the tire a high resistance to punctures and damage. Despite its additional ply, the tire has a very good damping property and a high degree of flexibility to adapt perfectly to the ground. The revolutionary tubeless ready bead allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tire. For best results in sealing and in use, we recommend the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant.
This tyres features: GreenGuard. The highly elastic, India rubber layer is 3mm thick. Other manufacturers call such a tyre "Plus". However, Green is not just the colour, but also the philosophy: One third of the GreenGuard is made up of recycled latex products. "Anti-Ageing". The completely new sidewall construction can withstand for much longer the typical cracking resulting from overloading due to insufficient inflation pressure. Also the new Endurance Compound substantially increases durability. E-Bike Ready. The new Marathon has been designed for use on all types of E-Bikes. The following sizes bear the ECE75 mark, suitable for the use on faster, up to 50kph E-Bikes.
