Continental Grand Prix 4-Season, 700x28C, folding

Thanks to the Vectran™ fiber used, the folding tire is very resistant and offers high puncture protection in all seasons. The liquid crystalline polymer Vectran™ has a tensile strength five times higher than steel and is used in deep-sea cables and astronaut tethers, among other things.
DuraSkin® is used here as a sidewall reinforcement for tough conditions: From grinding along kerbs to the Paris-Roubaix one-day race - the polyamide fabric can take a beating in an emergency.
The great thing is that none of this is noticeable in the weight.

A hard-wearing partner for touring, training and competition that is not afraid of sun or rain.
Made by hand for you.
A tire with superior durability, equipped for every season.

This tire is designed for the toughest demands and maximum durability. To live up to its name, the rubber compound has been selected to ensure a high level of grip even in cold and wet conditions. The DuraSkin fabric also ensures extreme puncture resistance on the sidewall of the tire. The double Vectran breaker provides almost unparalleled puncture protection on the tread. This makes the 4-Season the perfect tire for frequent and all-weather riders looking for a reliable partner.

handmade in Germany
These tires are among the highest quality tires produced by Continental. They are sewn by hand at the factory in Korbach and set special standards in terms of workmanship and quality.

Double VectranBreaker
Vectran ™ is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber with a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran ™ is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran ™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran ™ have enormous tensile strength at very low weight. Higher puncture resistance and lower weight are the advantages of the Vectran breaker. Vectran is more cut-resistant than aramid, 5 times more tensile than steel and lighter than a nylon thread, without affecting rolling resistance. This makes it the ideal protective layer for tires. Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries.

DuraSkin
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection have to be able to take a beating. They are used in the most adverse conditions. On messenger bikes the tires slide along curbs, on touring bikes they cross continents without wearing through, in racing they have to pass endurance tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the sidewall of the tire and prepares it for the toughest conditions. These tires stand out from the crowd thanks to their brown sidewall.
