Continental Contact Rigid Tyre

Continental Contact Rigid Tyre

Designed to be the market leader in the touring tyre market for many years to come.
Built with a hybrid aramid/polyamide belt under the tread where the lightweight & flexible polyamide is used as the main material to keep rolling resistance low, and filaments of aramid (kevlar) are spread over this belt to give a strong yet lightweight puncture protection system.
The compound used is a mix of carbon and silica as the main agents. Carbon aids tread life whilst the silica boosts grip levels. The rubber used is natural, not synthetic. Natural rubber gives superior wet grip and so it is imperative that this be used in city tyre compounds.

- Safety System: based on a high-strength nylon fabric belt under the tread mixed with Kevlar filaments. Compared to Kevlar belts, nylon is very light and so tyres made from this material will feel lighter and more responsive than tyres with pure Kevlar belts
- Highest quality touring tyre built to cope with the demands of experienced touring riders
- Designed to be the long term successor to the Top Touring 2000 in the Continental range
- Includes Safety System technology under the tread
- Recommended inflation pressure: 70psi
- Weight: 500g (700x28mm)
