Technology:

Premium
Premium tyres, manufactured to achieve peak performances. Latest technologies, developed with the most successful athletes in the world and handmade by experienced specialists in Korbach (Handmade in Germany). Selected materials for highest quality are used here.

Vectran™ Breaker
The reference in puncture protection. A synthetically produced high-tech fibre with spun silk as a natural model. Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-fibre yarn. Enormously tear-resistant with the lowest weight - just right to be used as a puncture protection insert in a premium tyre from Continental. And this without affecting the rolling resistance.

ECO50
The tyres with ECO50 technology benefit from over 100 years of experience in the development of moped and motorcycle tyres. Optimised and recommended for e-bikes up to 50 km/h, they guarantee low rolling resistance and good puncture protection thanks to their particularly high-quality construction. 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.

TWI-Wear Indicators
Treadless tyres in particular usually do not offer any usable indication for timely replacement, like tyres with a raised tread do. For this reason, Continental started to introduce wear indicators on treadless Road bike tyres for the first time in 2004 with the Grand Prix 4000. The TWIs (Tread Wear Indicators) can now be found on almost every Continental Road bike tyre.
In the City/Touring segment: like cars, small ridges in the tread base indicating a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm.
