Continental Contact Black Hybrid Tyre

£32.95

The Contact is the day to day urban commuter for hybrid bikes from Continental. It's also designed as a reliable high-end tourer for serious touring cyclists.

The Contact is safe, long lasting, reliable and fast rolling - the perfect mix for today's demanding bike rider. A uniform centre tread/belt assembly ensures a smooth and speedy ride on the road. Flexible shoulder lugs and fines sipes give assured grip on loose, wet surfaces like gritty corners and tow paths. A tough sidewall enables the tyre to withstand the harsh urban environment and the strong forces of tandem use. The ultra fine polyamide carcass reduces rolling resistance whilst providing a more comfortable ride.
