German-engineered bicycle tires and tubes built around the proprietary BlackChili rubber compound, hand-built in Korbach for the best balance of grip, rolling resistance, and longevity on road, gravel, and mountain.
Every bike tire carries two size numbers on the sidewall: the modern ETRTO (ISO 5775) format like 28-622 - width in millimetres, then bead-seat diameter - and a

Continental
Benchmark all-round race tire. 25mm is the most popular all-round size; 28-32mm is the best fit for endurance and rough roads.

Continental
Built for winter training, wet weather, and bad roads. 28mm is the popular all-season choice; 25mm if you want a faster feel year-round.

Continental
Reference long-mileage training and commuting tire. Heavier and slower than the GP 5000 but very flat-resistant. 28mm balances comfort and rolling speed for daily riding.

Continental
Affordable training and entry-level race tire. Good first upgrade from stock OEM tires on a sub-$1500 road bike. 25-28mm is the sweet spot.

Continental
Pro-only tubular. Requires tubular-specific rims and gluing. Used at Paris-Roubaix and Flanders. Skip unless you already race on tubulars.

Continental
Fast-rolling gravel tire for hardpack and mixed road/gravel. 40mm is the most popular size. Step up to Terra Trail or Race King for looser surfaces.

Continental
Versatile XC and trail all-rounder. 29x2.2 is the classic XC race size; 27.5x2.3-2.6 fits most trail bikes. Pair with a more aggressive front tire for chunky terrain.

Continental
Aggressive trail and enduro tire with strong wet-rock grip. Heavier and slower-rolling than the Cross King - pick it for technical descents and aggressive lines.

Continental
Heavy-duty commuter and e-bike tire. The reflex sidewall version adds night visibility. 700x32 or 700x37 are the most common urban sizes.

Continental
Value city/trekking tire with broad size coverage including kids' wheel sizes. Good budget replacement on a hybrid or commuter; step up to Contact Plus if you ride a heavy e-bike.

Continental
Standard 700C road tube. 42mm valve length covers most rim depths up to ~30mm; deeper aero rims need an extender or a longer-stem version.

Continental
Standard 27.5" MTB Presta tube. Sister tubes available for 26" and 29". Use as a backup even on tubeless setups.

Continental
29er MTB tube for modern XC and trail wheels. This two-pack covers the common 29 x 1.75-2.5 range and makes sense as a spare even if you usually ride tubeless.

Continental
Best for kids' bikes, compact folders, and other small-wheel bikes using narrow 20-inch tires. The Schrader valve works with the same pump head most riders already own.
