Continental Grand Prix 4-Season
The all-year-round tire and a durable companion for those high mileage road cyclists. Reliable companion for training rides and in competition, come rain or shine.
The benchmark in puncture protectionVectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection can be used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing out. The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tire casing against the worst conditions.
