Continental Contact MTB Wire Tyre 06 - £13.95

High class touring & city tyre with the Safety System Guarantee The Contact is designed to be the market leader in the touring tyre market for many years to come. Built with a hybrid aramid/polyamide belt under the tread where the lightweight & flexible polyamide is used as the main material to keep rolling resistance low, and filaments of aramid (kevlar) are spread over this belt to give a strong yet lightweight puncture protection system. The compound we have used for the Contact uses a mix of carbon and silica as the main agents. Carbon aids tread life whilst the silica boosts grip levels. The rubber used is natural, not synthetic. Natural rubber gives superior wet grip and so we feel it is imperative that this be used in our tyre compounds. The tread derives it’ s superb function from a closer look at nature’s solutions. Animal paws were the model for designing the tread pattern and it’s surface!
