Technology:

PureGrip
On the basis of the activated silica compound, the company worked purposefully towards a compound technology in the Performance segment. The result of the Korbach research and development department, after intensive development work, produced a new compound technology with excellent grip and rolling properties. The new rubber compound, with the self-explanatory name " Pure Grip" , joins the ranks behind the BlackChili compound and is used in performance products in the Road and Mountain bike segments. Here it ensures long lasting traction and high mileage of Continental tyres.

SafetyPro Breaker
The SafetyPro Breaker offers you maximum puncture protection with minimum additional weight. The simultaneously robust and flexible layer of nylon fabric reduces the risk of punctures from glass or sharp stones.

ECO50
The tyres with ECO50 technology benefit from over 100 years of experience in the development of moped and motorcycle tyres. Thanks to their particularly high-quality construction they guarantee low rolling resistance and good puncture protection. The durability was tested especially for e-bikes to counteract the premature wear and tear caused by the additional driving force. These models have the ECE-R 75 certification mark, which permits the use on fast e-bikes up to 50 km/h.

Bought the 42mm wide. After 200km, this is my conclusion:
Recommended use: only tarmac/urban/tour/commute/fitness.
Recommended size: don’t go slimmer than 40mm
The best tire I ever used was the Schwalbe Supremes with OneStar compound, discontinued now. In comparison to the Supremes, the Contis are inferior. Just a little bit more rolling resistance, lower grip on dry roads (conclusively same on wet), less comfort, lower confidence while cornering. The Supremes would just stick on the road and nothing seemed to budge them. Puncture resistance seems very good. They have a design problem: small gravels get stuck in the center lines and in some of the holes at the side. Not a major issue, but probably will cause them to wear quicker. Also, their grip at the edge of the road -where many times you can find gravel and sand – is mediocre.
Continental should get rid of the center lines as they have no purpose and reduce the side holes to a minimum in order to increase grip while cornering. I would definitely try the Grand Prix Urban if it was available at 40mm or 42mm.
That said, I doubt there is a better alternative to the Supremes at this price (~23euros).
During installation, I noticed that the compound is harder than Supremes’. Also, after inflation I dropped the wheel in order to ensure the tire was sited and I saw that the bounce was clearly bigger than Supremes’. Harder and bouncier tire means less comfort, less grip and more rolling resistance.
