Features of the Continental Pure CONTACT urban folding tire

• Vectran and PolyX puncture protection
• Puncture Protection Level 8
• Electric bike Ready up to 50 km/h

Vectran Breaker

Vectran is spun from the liquid crystal polymer Vectra. This creates a thermoplastic, multifilament yarn. By comparison, this semi-crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramid and has five times the tensile strength of steel. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible, and provides more effective protection against cuts than comparable nylon breakers. This does not negatively affect rolling resistance. 

PolyX Breaker

With the PolyX Breaker™, Continental brings its passenger car expertise to the bicycle tire segment. Polyester has been used successfully in car tires for years and has proven itself time and again. The extremely durable polyester fiber is woven in a tight, crisscross pattern. This results in a very high fabric density, which not only makes the breaker resistant to foreign objects but also particularly resistant to punctures.

Electric Bike Ready

For its electric bike tires, Continental draws on over 100 years of experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All city and trekking tires meet the standard for speeds up to at least 25 km/h. Tires marked with “E50” are also approved for S-pedelecs. With their high-quality construction, they offer excellent puncture protection, low rolling resistance, and protection against premature wear caused by the additional drive force.
