Continental Terra Speed Tire - 700 x 45 Tubeless Folding Black/Transparent BlackChili ProTection E25

Engineered for the unknown.

Designed to go fast, the Terra Speed is the perfect tire for those looking to quickly accellerate on less technical and drier trails. It's also the perfect option if some of your journey is on the road – the close-knit hexagonal tread pattern providing a smooth rolling surface. Engineered for Speed, Engineered for the Unknown.

Features:

• Featuring a shallower tread pattern for precisemaneuverability on light gravel and dirt.
• Continuous hexagonal tread-pattern across the whole tire for fast travel on dirt or road
• Increased puncture protection with Continental's ProTection Technology
• Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible

Specifications:

• Casing
  The extra all-round puncture protection layer renders the casings extremely durable and resistant to damage or penetration from foreign elements. Treads and sidewalls are equally protected, and are 25 % lighter and offer 30 % more puncture protection than their predecessors protected by DuraSkin®. Rolling resistance and absorption has also significantly improved. The new Revolution Tubeless Ready Bead improves the installation of Tubeless Ready Tires. For tubeless sealing we recommend the use of Continental RevoSealant.
• Compound
  The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tire are primarily determined by three interacting factors – stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity] . The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tire with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tire roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced.
  With Continental's Black Chili compound, a tread compound which is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, they have supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tire, they adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialing or downhill racing.
  How does that work? For Black Chili they refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures we then add soot particles, which in turn are optimized in shape and surface properties.
• Tubeless Ready
  Continental's carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube.
  They recommend the usage of their Revo-Sealant.
• E25
  For Continental's eBike tire they fall back on over 100 years’ experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of their city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Those tires marked e50 are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high quality structure, puncture protection is high and the rolling resistance is low offering protection from premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.
