Premium - allrounder : Riding fast and safe on the road, gravel or forest paths
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.
Features :
- Outstanding rolling characteristics fostered by a broad central tread pattern and a high-end fabric breaker.
- ECE-R75-certified: Recommended also for e-bikes up to 50km/h
- Guaranteed low rolling resistance and good puncture protection with their extra high quality construction.
- Vectran™ is spun from Vectra liquid crystal polymer, which results in a thread that is thermoplastic and has multifilaments.
