Continental Contact Speed Tire - 700 X 42 Clincher Wire Black/Reflex SafetySystem Breaker E25 Black/Reflex 700 x 42 / 28 x 1.60

This super fast looking city slicker turns any bike into a racer, helping bike messengers meet those tight deadlines or fitness riders who require a faster tire

Specification:

• puncture protection and reliability is taken care of thanks to continental's renowned hard wearing tread compound and two safetysystem anti puncture layers beneath the tread
• an improved 180 tpi (threads per inch) nylon casing increases speed and comfort. This is because the finer casing material deforms more quickly around imperfections in the road surface compared to a lower tpi casing. This feature also improves puncture resistance
• the contact speed also features a 'skinwall' sidewall. Most city/trekking tires use a 'gumwall' meaning lots of rubber in the sidewall to improve sidewall puncture resistance. A skinwall sidewall is much faster than a gumwall but just a little forward thinking is needed to avoid scuffing kerbs and to always maintain the minimum recommended tire pressure
• 'micro-diamond' tread pattern rolls fast yet grips on loose debris covering road surfaces like grit, gravel or mud
• reflective sidewall
• able to be used with dynamo lights
• constructed from 3 plies, totalling 180 tpi
• weight: 450 grams
