Kryptotal, Argotal, Xynotal or Hydrotal?

Continental’s gravity treads, chosen by terrain. Kryptotal: its most versatile gravity tyre, for mixed terrain, with separate front (Fr) and rear (Re) patterns. Argotal: loose terrain, dust and loam — cornering stability, side grip and an open, self-cleaning tread. Xynotal: dry, rocky and hardpack ground — fast rolling with contact edges for traction and braking, popular with bike-park riders. Hydrotal: the mud specialist, a downhill tyre with a self-cleaning tread, made only with the Downhill casing and SuperSoft compound.

Trail, Enduro or Downhill casing?

Continental’s three gravity casings, from lightest to toughest. Trail (3/180 TPI): a light, durable single-ply carcass for trail riding, which Continental says performs comparably to the Enduro casing. Enduro (3/330 TPI): a durable single-ply carcass with Apex protection against snakebites. Downhill (6/660 TPI): the most durable, reinforced carcass in the gravity line-up. Each step adds weight — Continental lists the Xynotal 29x2.40 at 1060 g in Trail Endurance, 1165 g in Enduro Soft and 1335 g in Downhill SuperSoft. All are Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible to their limited maximum pressure.

Endurance, Soft or SuperSoft?

Continental’s gravity compounds, from longest-lasting to grippiest. Endurance balances grip and endurance, with high durability and good rolling resistance. Soft is for descending-oriented trail and enduro riding: high grip with reasonable rolling resistance, run front and rear or on the front only for extra grip in trail and all-mountain riding. SuperSoft is for downhill and enduro where descending is the focus — for riders with a 100% focus on grip, traction and control.

Is this Continental tyre hookless compatible?

Yes, within limits. Continental’s catalogue states that this tyre is hookless compatible to its limited maximum pressure and asks you to check the wheel manufacturer’s instructions and the tyre packaging. The packaging lists the maximum inflation pressure and the maximum inner rim width, which can differ between hooked and hookless rims.

Q: How do I set up a Continental TR tyre tubeless — and can I use an inner tube?

Both work: Continental designs its Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres to run tubeless or with an inner tube. For the first tubeless mounting it recommends at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre; spin the wheel to spread the sealant, pump to the allowed maximum pressure, and check the pressure again before your next ride.

SuperSoft compound

Continental’s grippiest compound, especially for downhill and enduro riding where the main focus is descending — in Continental’s words, for riders with a 100% focus on grip, traction and control.

Downhill casing

The most durable and reinforced carcass construction in Continental’s gravity line-up (6/660 TPI).

Argotal tread design

Engineered for loose conditions: supported in-line shoulder studs for stability when cornering aggressively and high mechanical grip in loose soils, pronounced studs with steep ramps that dig into the ground, and an open pattern that self-cleans in moist and wet conditions — for dust and loam, per Continental.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

Continental says its TR casing is robust against damage and penetration from foreign objects, and that TR tyres can be run tubeless or with an inner tube. For the first tubeless mounting Continental recommends at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre: spin the wheel to spread it, pump to the allowed maximum pressure and check the pressure again before the next ride.

E-bike approval

Continental draws on more than 100 years of moped and motorcycle tyres for its e-bike tyres. Tyres marked E25 are approved for e-bikes up to 25 km/h; those marked E50 are also certified for S-Pedelecs up to 50 km/h. Continental says their structure gives high puncture protection and low rolling resistance, and protects against the premature wear caused by the extra driving force.

Description

The Argotal is Continental’s gravity tyre for loose terrain — cornering stability, enhanced side grip and an open tread that self-cleans in dust, loam and damp woods. The Downhill SuperSoft is its toughest, grippiest build: the reinforced Downhill casing (6/660 TPI) with the SuperSoft compound, for riders with a 100% focus on grip, traction and control. For downhill racing and steep loose tracks; the Soft compound rolls easier.
