MAXX TERRA 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip. The perfect compound if you like to ride exceptionally fast and tackle every obstacle with confidence. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tyres provide many benefits: they offer the ability to run lower air pressures, which dramatically improves traction; it provides a lower rolling resistance compared to when using tubes and a drastic reduction in the change of getting a flat tyre since there is no tube.
BlackChili Compound Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage.
This Maxxis minion DHR II model sports Maxx Terra compound throughout its construction, giving it remarkable traction and lower rolling resistance, ensuring speed and grip are kept consistent even in tough weather conditions. Plus, the DoubleDown casing on this tough mountain bike (MTB) tyre ensures enduro-levels of puncture resistance without weighing down your bike. The centre tread on this Maxxis Minion DHR II Wide Trail DD tyre features ramped knobs to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning your bike over. Paddle-like knobs on the centre tread dig in under hard braking and help you keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tyre combo. Technologies: Wide Trail (WT): This construction optimises the tyre tread layout and profile on today’s modern wide rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims and create an overly square tyre profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres obtain peak performance when used with an inner rim width of 35mm but are proven to perform exceptionally with rim widths from 30 - 35mm. Double Down: DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tyre casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro racer with the support and protection of a downhill tyre, but in a lighter package. 3C Mountain: Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of our 3C Triple Compound mountain technology: Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip. MAXX TERRA: 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip. The perfect compound if you like to ride exceptionally fast and tackle every obstacle with confidence. Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Maxxis TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants.
After 14 years of service, Continental have decided the classic Grand Prix 4000 was in need of an update. Enter the all-new Continental Grand Prix 5000. Lighter, faster with improved comfort and puncture protection, the Grand Prix 5000 resets the benchmark.Re-designed BlackChili Compound makes for a tyre that is 10g lighter and has 12% better rolling resistanceVectran Protection improves puncture protection by 20% over the GP 4000 Active Comfort technology provides a smoother, more comfortable rideLazer Grip tread pattern improves corning grip and controlIncredibly light with weight, starting from just 205g!Folding bead2 x 700 x 25c TyresThe Grand Prix 5000 has been designed from the outset to improve on the most important areas of tyre design; grip, rolling resistance, speed and comfort. Continental re-designed their BlackChili compound to improve grip, rolling resistance and durability. The result is a tyre that has 12% better rolling resistance compared to the already fast GP 4000 and is also 10g lighter. Further improving grip levels and control is the new Lazer Grip tread pattern that improves corning grip and control in all conditions, giving the rider a tyre that they can have the confidence in to push to the limit. While the Grand Prix 5000 thrives in a racing environment, Continental has not forgotten about everyday usability. With an improved Vectran puncture protection layer, the Grand Prix 5000 has 20% better puncture resistance than the GP 4000. Most of us love to log big miles and thanks to the Active Comfort technology in the Grand Prix 5000, this is a tyre that won't rattle your fillings loose out on the open road. This is a tyre that is happy being along rough roads all day long while proving excellent comfort. Fast, tough and reliable, the Continental Grand Prix 5000 takes everything that make the GP 4000 great and turns it up a notch. Road cycling just got a new benchmark tyre by which all others are judged.
Couple this with a higher service mileage and a higher level of comfort thanks to the wider casing, and you get a tubular which is especially forgiving with today's ultra stiff racing bikes. Vectran™ Breaker Vectran 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 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 bike tyre 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.

TPS TyrePositioning System The narrower front tyre (22mm) provides reduced wind resistance and better handling. An adhesion-optimised tread mixture supplies the necessary grip especially for wet cornering. The wider rear tyre (24mm) offers better traction thanks to a larger contact area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast rolling, optimised tread mixture and larger contact area on the rear tyre, wear is reduced. The result is a pioneering front and rear tyre system for road racing – to be found in Conti’s GP Attack and Force tyres/tubs.
Ready for racing, this cyclocross (CX) tyre features a diamond tread design with Rhino side knobs for grip on slightly wet track, grass and in the woods. Another highlight is its 100% cotton casing with high thread-per-inch (TPI), which offers increased puncture resistance, more elasticity, lower rolling resistance and better handling in corners. Used and loved by most professional riders, and winners of races and championships, Dugast joined the Vittoria Group in May 2021. Neoprene Coating Invented and first used by A Dugast, the Neoprene Coating is a special protection coating applied to A Dugast tyres to extend their lifetime preventing the tyre casing to absorb humidity and mud. The Neoprene Coating is a 0.1 mm-thick layer of silicon applied with a brush on the tyre casing filling the empty spaces in the yarn. The coating prevents water and debris to penetrate the casing as well as preventing aggressive cleaners to deteriorate the casing material. Thanks to the Neoprene Coating, A Dugast tyres are easy to clean and last longer. More importantly, the coating does not affect the tyre functionality and comfort. Base Rim Tape As the use of wheels with disc brakes and the use of larger tyres are increasingly popular, A Dugast offers Cross tyres with a wider base tape for a better fit with larger rims. The larger base tape increases the protection of the tubular sidewall from snakebites. Handmade in the Netherlands A Dugast tyres are handmade in the Netherlands by true craftsmen of bicycle tyres. Through their expertise, yarns, glue and rubber are assembled to create some of the finest tubulars available in the market. A Dugast tyre casings are made with mastery starting from raw cotton and silk yarns, on which rubber tread is glued with extreme precision. All the steps of tyre making are performed by experienced technicians having deep knowledge of cyclists’ requirements and needs. Manufacturer's Part Number: DE000021 Natural 700c 33c
