The name Continental has long
been known in the tire industry and now this famous name has
become one of the most trusted names in bicycle tires. They
have tires available for touring around town to serious road
racing, as well as BMX and recreational riding. Ranging in
size from 20 inch to 27 inch, they come in folding and wire
bead. Continental also has an innovated approach to puncture
protection with either their multifibered thermoplastic yarn
made of melted Vectran Liquid Crystal Polymer or their
“PolyX Breaker”. Vectran is the only LCP fiber in world that
is made using the superior spinning process. This
reinforcement of the fibers created by this process allows
for durability without weight and actually have been rated 5
times stronger then steel. As for the PolyX Breaker,
Continental is using polyester as Breaker material. By
providing a dense fabric with a minimum of space between the
individual threads, PolyX is resistant to punctures without
reducing the rolling resistance. Continental tires are so
sure that their technology is first rate, they offer their
SafetySystem Guarantee on many of their tires, adding
another line of defense against the dreaded flat.
