Continental Competition TT Tubular Tire

While it is incredibly fast, this tire is designed specifically for time trials and competitive racing. Because it prioritizes minimal weight and rolling resistance, it lacks the durability required for daily training and is best reserved for race day.

Yes, this is a tubular tire, meaning it must be glued or taped onto specific tubular-compatible rims. It cannot be used with standard clincher or tubeless-ready wheelsets.

The Vectran breaker is integrated to provide high-level cut resistance without adding significant weight or stiffness. It allows the tire to remain supple and responsive, maintaining the high-performance feel expected from a top-tier racing tubular.

The latex inner tube is significantly more flexible than standard butyl rubber, which allows the tire to deform more easily over road imperfections. This reduces rolling resistance and provides a smoother, faster ride on varied road surfaces.

The Black Chili compound offers excellent grip, but the smooth central tread pattern is optimized primarily for speed on dry pavement. While it performs well in varied conditions, it is not designed to channel water like a dedicated all-weather tire.
