This tyre features Continental puncture protection technology from bead to bead - tough Duraskin external fabric on the sidewall which protects the casing from sharp objects, and their polyamide/Kevlar belt under the tread.

The SafetySystem Breaker is made up of Kevlar reinforced high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant but nevertheless light and flexible, the tyre adjusts quickly to the surface below. Without raising the weight or rolling resistance noticeably, it protects the carcas against foreign objects and contributes to a longer lifespan of the tyre. Tyres with the SafetySystem Breaker also provide good comfort properties.

 

About the Continental brand

More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Continental is the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer to produce its tyres in Germany. Knowing this serves as a mighty incentive to our engineers and everyone else involved in the manufacturing process to constantly strive for further innovations. In our technology and development center in Korbach, we are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ Breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport. These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality, and these innovations as well as the new “ProTection” and ”RaceSport” technology for MTB tyres, can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – “Handmade in Germany”. In order to offer the best tyre for any application, we rely equally on dialogue with our professional racers, hobby cyclists and everyday bike riders. This results not only in high-end products for top sports applications such as the new Podium TT or the revolutionary downhill tyre “Der Kaiser”, but also tyres for everyday use like the new innovative combination EcoContact/EcoContact Plus as a companion to the latest e-bike trend. As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center in Korbach, Germany, where they also undergo strict inspection. Our heart and soul is behind the phrase “Handmade in Germany”, with all of its products and technologies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EddieSpaghetti from MTB Road Tyre I fitted these tyres to my hardtail mountain bike for my partner to use. she rides road only and I have used stans no tubes to run them tubeless. They are performing well and are running tubeless with no problems although they were tricky to inflate initially. They seem to be hard wearing and give good grip in all conditions. Very good overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TonyT from Exellent product I bought these to cut down the rolling resistance on roads. Compared with the knobbly tyres I was using, these tyres are great. As other reviewers have said, road cycling is made so much easier yet with the side knobbles, off-road tracks are still easily rideable.

Hi just bought these tyres but no inner tubes supplied. Granted there's no reference to this in the description but reviews suggest they do come with?

Asked by: A51MPS
I can confirm that they used to come with them, having bought about 6 sets of these, but the most recent set I bought, in July, did not come with inner tubes. So it seems they no longer do - the description used to say they came with them, but then the description was changed.

How to fill air in tyre?

I have recently buyed continental tyre with tube 25x1.75. Actually there is a large valve and air pump is unable to attach to it? please assist me?
Asked by: Aman
It is a Presta valve. You need to get a pump with a presta fitting or attached a presta adapter when inflating.

Could this tyre be used on a MTB back wheel with a turbo trainer ?

Asked by: BadBob
Yes it can but I found that the tyre wears quite quickly leaving tiny bits of black rubber all over the floor, I opted for a specific turbo trainer tyre which is only a few quid more which is more durable, less mess and quieter.....the choice is yours!
