The Continental Competition tubular tire has built a reputation in the professional peloton, chosen by many top teams for high-stakes racing. Its tubular construction glues directly to specialized rims, delivering a supple ride feel and reliable handling under pressure that has supported riders through major stage races and classics.
Its tread uses a Black Chili rubber compound that balances grip, rolling resistance, and durability, while a Vectran breaker beneath the tread and sidewall guards against cuts and punctures without the weight penalty of a steel-reinforced tire. A 330 TPI casing with a folding bead keeps the tire supple and easy to mount.
