The initial running-in of the tire is eliminated by providing it with a “micro-rough” surface, thus making it the safest tire from the start.

- RainGrip: This exclusive Continental compound gives the tire more grip on wet or slippery surfaces, also increasing mileage.
- GripLimitFeedback: ensures that riders can better feel a tires performance by transmitting more faithful sensations to the rider during extreme lean angles as the rider receives feedback from the tires at an early stage in critical situations for a higher level of control at the limit.
