Continental Tempo II Tubular

No, this tire is designed specifically for race-day performance. Its focus on minimal weight and high speed means it lacks the puncture protection and tread longevity required for everyday training.

The 180 TPI (threads per inch) casing provides a highly supple ride quality. This flexibility allows the tire to conform better to the road surface, which reduces rolling resistance and improves grip during high-speed cornering.

No, the Tempo II is a tubular tire, meaning it must be glued or taped onto a compatible tubular-specific rim. It will not seat or function on a standard clincher or tubeless-ready wheelset.

The 22c width is narrower than current road standards, which helps reduce aerodynamic drag and rotational weight. While it offers less vibration damping than a 25c or 28c tire, it is ideal for track cycling and smooth-surface climbing where speed is the priority.

The Tempo II is engineered for speed on dry, clean surfaces like velodromes or paved race courses. It is not intended for wet weather, and you should exercise caution if you encounter rain while using these tires.
