What technology does it use in its construction?
Continental's Contact Speed comes off the shelf equipped with the Standard universal compound, mated to their Safety casing. This combination features additional reinforcement under the tread with an aramid nylon breaker, providing an intermediate level of puncture protection whilst the compound handles durability, longevity and performance.
What is the intended use?
Optimised for the City streets, this super fast urban tyre transforms any bike into a racer. The 'micro-diamond' all over slick tread pattern works best on paved surfaces in a range of weathers, but copes well over loose debris, grit, gravel and mud that you may encounter on the road.
