Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Folding Tyre
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.
To roll with the punchesTires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection have to be able to roll with the punches. They are used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing out. In racing cycling, they have to endure tough tests such as the Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tire casing against the worst conditions. These tires stand out thanks to their brown sidewalls.

Rain, rain go away…on second thought, we’ll just ride anyway. On days when the weather just won’t let up, neither will you with the Toro’s deep, widely spaced tread pattern. It’s ideal for loose conditions and wet trails, with excellent mud-shedding abilities. The RR.XC triple-compound technology provides a harder, deep-biting center tread for climbing and braking traction, with softer shoulder knobs to grab wet rocks and roots.
