Contact Tire

The Continental Contact is a wire bead trekking tire with a smooth center section for low rolling resistance and patterned shoulders for cornering stability. That profile suits paved commuter, hybrid, and light-touring builds. Continental ran durability studies on E-bikes, so the tire also suits motor-assisted builds.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I spec the Contact on trekking builds where weight and flat protection both matter. The Breaker layer is nylon fabric reinforced with Kevlar, and it takes the hit from thorns and broken glass before the casing does. It adds that cut resistance without adding a thick insert.”
