Continental Gravel Tire Top Contact Winter II – 26 x 2.0, Clincher, Wire, Black/Reflex, Vectran Breaker, E50 C1314522

Description

The Top Contact Winter II is for the serious winter cyclist. The tread design’s outer appearance alone is convincing due to its never-ending-grip design which extends far into the shoulder area. Thanks to countless lamellae, hundreds of biting edges interlock with the terrain that you are riding on, be it tarmac, gravel or snow.

• Vectran Breaker is spun from liquid crystal-polymer to create a multiple-thread thermoplastic yarn. This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramid and its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker, without affecting rolling resistance
• E50 e-bike rating features a high quality structure with puncture protection to reduce premature wear brought about by the additional driving force
• The compound is designed to work in colder temperatures and so this tire will keep you going when other riders are spinning their wheels
• Hundreds of biting edges across all tread lugs help interlock with snowy terrain
