Continental ContiTech Top Contact Winter II Tire

The Top Contact Winter II is designed for cold, slick, and freezing surfaces rather than solid ice. Its specialized rubber compound stays pliable in low temperatures to maintain grip where standard tires would harden and lose traction, but it is not a studded tire meant for frozen lakes or black ice.

Yes, this tire carries an E50 rating, meaning it is certified for use on e-bikes capable of speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The construction is reinforced to handle the higher torque and speeds associated with electric drivetrains.

Vectran is a high-tech liquid crystal polymer that provides excellent puncture protection without the stiff, dead feel of traditional heavy-duty liners. It keeps the tire supple enough to conform to the road surface, which is crucial for maintaining grip in winter conditions.

Yes, this is a 29-inch clincher tire with a 37mm width. While it will fit most 29-inch rims, ensure your frame has sufficient clearance for a 37mm width, especially if you are using fenders.

The reflective sidewalls are highly effective and provide 360-degree visibility when hit by car headlights. They are a significant safety upgrade for winter commuting when daylight hours are limited.
