The CONTACT Plus is the puncture-protection specialist: SafetyPlus Breaker, Safety Level 7, a reflective sidewall and ECE-R75 certification for e-bikes up to 50 km/h — 750 g in 700x32. Fast commuting: Speed. Fast e-bikes and no-flat priority: Plus.

Can I use this tyre on an e-bike?

SafetySystem Breaker

A Kevlar-reinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Continental says it is puncture- and cut-resistant yet light and flexible, protects the carcass against foreign objects and lengthens the tyre’s life without significantly adding weight or rolling resistance, and gives particularly comfortable handling.

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.
