Wheels & Tyres Continental | Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Folding Road Tyre Black

Constructed With Continental’S Duraskin™ Technology, Which Is An Anti-Tear Material, This Version Of The Popular Grand Prix 4 Season Keeps Performing Consistently Even In Extreme Riding Conditions. This Road Bike Tyre Has Been Race-Proven On One Of The Toughest Road Rides On The Pro Tour, The Paris-Roubaix Race. Pro Riders Who Have Ridden This Event With Duraskin™ Tyres Have Found They Suffered The Fewest Issues During This Puncture Causing Race.

By Using Continental’S Unique Carbon Compound For Enhanced Durability And Wear, This All-Season Road Tyre Gives You High Mileage Performance And Excellent Grip On Wet Roads And Low Temperatures. It Also Features A Double Vectran™ Breaker Belt Under The Tread To Boost Puncture And Cut Protection.

Vectran™ Breaker: Vectran Is A Synthetically Manufactured High-Tech Fibre From A Natural Model. Like Spider Silk, Vectran Is A Liquid Crystalline Polymer (Lcp) And Is Spun From The Melted Liquid Polymer Vectra And Processed Further To A Multi-Strand Thread. Vectran Has An Enormous Tear Resistance At A Very Low Weight: Exactly The Right Properties To Process Into A Premium Continental Bicycle Tyre As A Puncture Protection Insert. A Vectran Breaker Is Lighter, More Flexible And Protects More Effectively Against Cuts Than The Comparable Nylon Breaker. Vectran Breaker Does Not Adversely Affect The Rolling Resistance.

Duraskin®: Tyres With Duraskin Sidewall Protection Have To Be Able To Roll With The Punches. They Are Used Under The Harshest Conditions. On Messenger Bikes, The Tyres Skid Along Curbs; On Touring Bikes, They Cross Continents Without Wearing Out. In Racing Cycling, They Have To Endure Tough Tests Such As The Paris-Roubaix. The High-Quality Polyamide Fabric Protects The Tyre Casing Against The Worst Conditions. These Tyres Stand Out Thanks To Their Brown Sidewalls. No Frills Tyres With A Clear Focus And Durability.
