The Technologies of the Continental Archetype folding tire
- Continental has revolutionized the cycling scene with its unique tread compound. The legendary BlackChili Compound has provided a lasting answer to the eternal question of grip versus rolling resistance. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and fillers guarantee unique performance - whether on road bikes, gravel or mountain bikes, for time trials or downhill.
- The revolutionary approach in road cycling. Integrated into the tyre construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding riding experience.
- Lazer-Grip lets you become one with the road. The laser-cut micro-tread pattern concentrates on the shoulder area of the tyre, giving you increased cornering grip.
