ProTection Apex

Challenges need to be mastered.

The ProTection layer prevents cuts and punctures without any significant increase in weight. An extra Apex sidewall protects the tyre from impact punctures even at low pressures. BlackChili Compound gives added grip.

RaceSport

Light, fast, safe.

Developed together with professional mountain bikers, the RaceSport carcass unites light-weight construction with noticeably improved puncture protection for the perfect competition choice. Light: contains a particularly fine, flexible nylon fabric with an elaborately produced protective rubber coating. Fast and reliable: World Cup quality, low rolling resistance and puncture protection. Combined with our legendary BlackChili Compound, the right combination for XC and Marathon racing.

Shieldwall System

Tubeless Ready

Continental carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tyres made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube. Continental recommend the usage of our RevoSealant.

EXTRA Puncture Belt

Carefree on a daily basis.

Anyone looking for a reliable everyday companion will go for a tyre with EXTRA PunctureBelt. This rugged rubber breaker, combined with the rubber-reinforced ­sidewalls of the tyre, ensures a high level of puncture protection and sidewall abrasion. ­Where durability is the main focus, there is also a solid tyre version.

DuraSkin

For hard cases.

Tyres with DuraSkin® sidewall protection can take a beating as they are ­designed for the most adverse conditions. In rough terrain on a cyclocross or a gravel bike, on commuter bikes where tires scrape along curbs, on touring bikes as they cross continents ­encountering many different road qualities and on the race circuit where they prove themselves in ­endurance events such as the Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the wall of the tyre. Tyres with DuraSkin® can be ­identified by the characteristic brown mesh ­sidewall*.

* DuraSkin® comes in restrained black with Continental's Black Edition.

Hardshell

MORE is what you get.

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 three-ply – each layer with 60 TPI – ­carcass covers the entire tyre and makes it a real ­bastion against urban detritus. The outer ­sidewalls of the tyre are reinforced with ­DuraSkin® fabric providing even more reliablility due to the casing being so well protected. ­Hardshell tyres are the puncture-resistant ­flagship amongst racing tyres – produced ­exclusively in Germany.

NyTech

Light and sleek.

The Nytech Breaker is based on the technology of Continental's SafetySystem ­puncture protection. Made of nylon fibre and similar to Kevlar, it reliably protects against punctures and cuts. It also has particularly low rolling resistance and reduced weight, perfect for our performance range of road tyres.

PolyX

Cut and puncture proof.

With PolyX Breaker™ car expertise comes to the bicycle tyre sector. Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and has proved extremely effective. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswise. A very high fabric density is achieved which makes the breaker resistant not only to foreign bodies, but especially to ­punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected by this breaker.

Safety Plus

The anti-puncture specialist.

Specially designed for E-Bikes up to 50 km/h, Continental have combined our SafetySystem Breaker with a highly flexible natural rubber. The result is an extremely cut and puncture resistant breaker ply which has a low rolling resistance thanks to its high elasticity. This helps saving battery life and the environment. High acceleration torques and fast speeds in turns are easily absorbed by the breaker. The specialist for fast e-bikes and rental bikes.

Safety Pro

Lightweight Puncture protection.

The SafetyPro breaker is designed from nylon textile. Cross-woven textile fiber netting that is simultaneously robust and flexible. Maximum puncture protection with minimal added weight. The risk of punctures resulting from glass or sharp stones is substantially reduced.

Safety System

Puncture protection as a system

The SafetySystem Breaker ­consists of a Kevlar-reinforced, high-strength ­nylon fabric. Puncture and cut resistant, whilst also being light and flexible, allowing the tire to adapt more effectively to the terrain. The breaker protects the carcass against foreign ­objects and contributes to a longer lifespan of the tyre without significantly increasing weight or rolling resistance. Additionally, tyres with ­SafetySystem have particularly comfortable handling characteristics.

Vectran

Puncture protection at it‘s best.

Vectran™ is spun from liquid crystal-polymer. This way a thermoplastic, multiple-thread yarn is created. As a comparison: This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramide and its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker. Without effecting rolling resistance.
