Shiny Bikes :: Tyres :: MTB :: Continental Vapour 2.1 MTB Tyre

Continental Vapour 2.1 MTB Tyre

The Vapor tyre has a 2.1" tread, and is designed for cross country trail riding & racing. Two areas of recent impovement were tread stability and tread traction. By using the GravityArc™ concept as explained above, Conti have reinforced the Vapor's lugs by providing each of them with a wide base, so that they flex less under load, thus improving the tyres cornering & braking characteristics. These "Arcs" (lug bases) will also provide grip of their own on softer terrain where the tyres footprint has more volume than tyres with a flat tread base.

The tops of the lugs are hard & sharp so as to hook up & bite more rapidly & effectively through wet or loose surfaces.

Available as a Vapor - wire bead / 84 tpi (threads per inch) casing version, Vapor Pro racing version (kevlar bead / 170 tpi) and Vapor ProTection endurance version (kevlar bead / Duraskin sidewall / 170tpi).

Vapour = 620g
