The Continental Contact Speed Tyre is designed to transform your city bike into a high-performance machine, perfect for riders who demand speed and reliability. Its sleek, fast-rolling profile is ideal for bike messengers and fitness enthusiasts looking to upgrade from basic knobbly tyres to something more efficient and responsive. Engineered with Continental’s hard-wearing tread compound and dual SafetySystem anti-puncture layers, this tyre offers exceptional durability and peace of mind on urban roads.
Featuring a finely woven 180 tpi nylon casing, the Contact Speed Tyre delivers enhanced comfort and speed by flexing smoothly around road imperfections. This careful design not only improves ride quality but also boosts puncture resistance, ensuring fewer interruptions on your journeys. The tyre’s unique skinwall sidewall construction reduces rolling resistance compared to traditional gumwalls, making it faster while still requiring attentive care to avoid sidewall damage and maintain optimal pressure.
Equipped with a micro-diamond tread pattern, the tyre maintains excellent grip on loose surfaces such as grit, gravel, or mud, without compromising speed. Reflective sidewalls are available to increase visibility and safety during night rides, and the tyre is compatible with dynamo lighting systems. With the Continental Contact Speed Tyre, your bike gains the agility and performance needed for urban racing and demanding daily rides.
Is this tyre suitable for commuting in wet conditions?
Yes, the micro-diamond tread pattern provides reliable grip on wet and loose surfaces, making it a solid choice for urban commuting in variable weather.

Absolutely, the tyre is designed to be compatible with dynamo lighting systems, enhancing your visibility and safety during night rides.
