Technologies of the Continental Archetype folding tire

BlackChili Compound

Continental has revolutionized the cycling scene with its unique tread compound. The legendary BlackChili Compound has provided a lasting answer to the eternal question of grip versus rolling resistance. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and fillers guarantee unique performance - whether on road bikes, gravel or mountain bikes, for time trials or downhill.

Active Comfort Technology

The revolutionary approach in road cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding riding experience.

Lazer-Grip

Lazer-Grip lets you become one with the road. The laser-cut micro-tread pattern concentrates on the shoulder area of the tire, giving you increased cornering grip.

Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
