Continental Grand Sport Race Bike Tire

The Continental Grand Sport features a proven racing tire contour that delivers responsive handling and secure grip. Designed for performance in touring and competition settings, this all-rounder is ready to tackle any challenge, no matter how demanding.

What sets this tire apart? The answer lies in its PureGrip compound, derived from an activated silica formula that was continuously refined based on customer feedback. Alongside the renowned BlackChili compound, the PureGrip technology provides exceptional grip and durability.

Engineered for our performance road and mountain bike ranges, the PureGrip compound excels in two key areas: it offers exceptionally good grip, and it demonstrates remarkable longevity. This is the direct result of the integrated customer-centric research and development approach we employ.

Complementing the PureGrip compound is the NyTech Breaker, a puncture protection system based on the technology of our SafetySystem. Made of nylon fiber akin to Kevlar, the NyTech Breaker reliably protects against punctures and cuts, while also boasting low rolling resistance and reduced weight – ideal characteristics for a high-performance tire.

The Grand Sport Race, Gator Hard Shell, Gatorskin, and Ultra Sport III tires all feature these advanced technologies, ensuring responsive handling, secure grip, and enhanced durability. Each model caters to different preferences and requirements, offering a choice of bead types (wire or folding) and varying degrees of puncture protection.

Customer reviews reflect the capabilities of these tires, with the Grand Sport Race and Gatorskin models receiving exceptional ratings of 4.6 out of 5 stars, based on thousands of reviews. The Gator Hard Shell and Ultra Sport III also earn strong praise, though the latter's 3.0 rating suggests it may not be as well-suited for the most demanding applications.

In summary, the Continental Grand Sport line of tires offers a compelling blend of performance, durability, and responsiveness, thanks to the integration of the PureGrip compound and NyTech Breaker technology. Whether you're tackling tours, competitions, or everyday riding, these tires are engineered to deliver a confident and satisfying experience, even in the face of the biggest challenges.
