Continental Terra Competition Tubeless Gravel Tire (Black) (700c) (40mm) (Rapid/Race)

Continental Terra Competition Tubeless Gravel Tire Description:

The Continental Terra Competition Tubeless Gravel Tire is designed anyone looking to enhance the versatility of their all-road bike and/or are looking for a fast gravel bike tire for race day. A low profile “V” shaped tread pattern with a nearly continuous center strip produces a tire that is extremely fast and smooth in a straight line, and when it is time to hit the dirt this tread pattern provides excellent braking and cornering traction. Not only will this pattern provide confident bike control and safety, it actually will improve the aerodynamics of the bike, saving the rider energy and shaving precious seconds off of a ride/race time that can mean the difference between simply finishing and being in contention for the top of the podium. The tubeless-ready casing and bead construction allows this tire to be installed on almost any road and gravel bike wheel, including those with hookless rims, so lower tire pressures can be used for a smoother ride and incredible grip while still providing excellent protection from pinch flats caused by harsh impacts. Add in multiple available tire widths, tread compounds, and casing options, and the Continental Terra Competition Tubeless Gravel Tire is a worthy upgrade for anyone looking for speed and new bike routes to explore.

Features:

• Designed for modern road bikes with generous tire clearance and gravel bikes, this light and fast tire has excellent on-pavement performance and enough durability and traction for exploration of hardpack trails and dirt roads
• Almost continuous center tread has very low rolling resistance and provides a quiet and smooth ride
• V-shaped tread pattern cut into the rubber enhances aerodynamics, effectively evacuates water away from the center of the tire, and has lots of biting edges for confident braking and cornering on hardpacked dirt and paved surfaces
• Tubeless-ready design safely allows lower pressure for better traction, improved comfort, and better protection from damage and flats caused by impacts
• Compatible with hookless style rims, enabling these tires to be installed on more bicycle and wheel combinations
• Available with two different tread and casing combinations to fine tune the performance of the bike:
• Rapid Compound w/ Race Casing is a combination that yields less rolling resistance, lighter weight, and the most supple ride quality, ideal for riders that are mostly riding on the road and those that are looking for the fastest version of this tire; especially well-suited for racing
• Grip Compound w/ Trail Casing has a tackier rubber compound paired to a reinforced casing, with the result being a tire that will hold up to and perform better over rough roads and the dirt while still offering great comfort and performance on the pavement
• E25 rated tire is designed to withstand the additional weight and forces of E-Bikes at speeds up to 25 kilometers per hour (approximately 15.5 miles per hour)
