Technical Specification

Technologies used

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

Vectran – the benchmark in puncture protection
Vectran™ is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber modeled after natural materials. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multifilament yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran™ possess enormous tensile strength at minimal weight. These are precisely the right properties for use as a puncture protection insert in Continental’s top-of-the-line tires. A Vectran™ breaker is lighter, more flexible, and offers more effective cut protection than comparable nylon breakers. The Vectran™ breaker does not affect rolling resistance.

DuraSkin – can take a beating
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection are built to withstand serious abuse. They’re used in the most demanding conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires slide along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing through; and in racing, they have to withstand grueling tests like Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the tire’s sidewall and prepares it for the ultimate challenges. These tires stand out from the crowd thanks to their distinctive brown sidewall.
