Technical specification

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.

PolyX Breaker - cut and puncture-proof
With the PolyX Breaker®, Continental brings car know-how to the bicycle tire segment: Polyester has been used successfully in car tires for years and has proven itself many times over. The extremely resistant polyester fiber is tightly woven crosswise. This achieves a very high tissue density, which not only makes the breaker resistant to foreign bodies, but also particularly resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is also not negatively influenced by the PolyX Breaker®.

DuraSkin - can take a beating
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection must be able to insert properly. They are used under the most adverse conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires slide along the curbs, on touring bikes they cross continents without chafing through, in racing they have to pass endurance tests like Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the side of the tire and prepares the tire for the worst. These tires stand out from the crowd thanks to their brown sidewall.
