Continental Contact Urban - 700c

Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as a performance level compound, but after intensive development at Continental's German R&D facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip, elasticity and rolling properties was developed.

This new mix was given the self-explanatory name "Pure Grip", ranked just behind Continental's BlackChili compound and will be used in our new performance products both in road and MTB sectors.

Specially designed for e-bikes up to 50 km/h, Continental has combined their SafetySystem Breaker with a highly flexible natural rubber.

The result is an extremely cut and puncture resistant breaker ply which has a low rolling resistance thanks to its high elasticity.

This helps saving battery life and the environment. High acceleration torques and fast speeds in turns are easily absorbed by the breaker. The specialist for fast e-bikes and rental bikes

• E50-certified, designated for usage on e-bikes up to 50km/h.

Cross-woven textile fiber netting that is simultaneously robust and flexible. Maximum puncture protection with minimal added weight. The risk of punctures resulting from glass or sharp stones is substantially reduced.

The Safety Pro features in the CONTACT Urban range and gives the tyre a safety rating of 6/7, compared with the previous rating for our older CONTACT tyres which was 4/7. The Safety Pro is only bettered by the Safety Plus (7/7) which is a substantially heavier system for our CONTACT Plus range.
