Description

Non-studded tires for tackling Nordic winters. They grip surfaces where other tires easily slip. Hundreds of sipes (just like those found on gecko feet) are placed alternately with smooth areas.

• Compatible with all types of bicycles, including electric bicycles
• Reflective strip on the sides to increase your visibility during long winter evenings
• Sculpture made of a compound suitable for cold temperatures
• Three-layer design with 180 threads per inch

The benchmark in puncture protection

Vectran™ is a high-tech fiber synthetically manufactured from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and transformed into a multi-strand yarn. Spider silk, like Vectran™, has enormous tear resistance for its very low weight: exactly the right properties to be used in a high-end Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ breaker is lighter, more flexible, and provides more effective puncture protection than a comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not negatively affect rolling resistance.
