PureGrip Compound

A compound derived from activated silica that sits alongside BlackChili in Continental’s range. Continental says exceptionally good grip and durability are its distinguishing features; it is used in its Performance road and mountain-bike tyres.

ShieldWall System

An additional all-round puncture-protection layer made of a finely woven cross fabric. Continental says it combines high puncture protection with low rolling resistance and low weight, and that despite the extra ply the tyre keeps very good damping and adapts closely to the ground. Its tubeless-ready bead is designed for easy mounting; Continental recommends Conti RevoSealant for sealing.

Terra Hardpack tread design

A semi-slick centre with a textured tread for a wide footprint and low rolling resistance, and robust shoulders for control when cornering — made for compacted gravel roads, long days on fast-rolling gravel and bikepacking, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Answered from this product’s published information. Questions about orders or anything else go to our team.

Terra Hardpack or Terra Speed?

Both are fast gravel tyres. The Terra Hardpack is at home on compacted gravel roads: a semi-slick, textured centre for a wide footprint and low rolling resistance, robust shoulders for cornering control, PureGrip compound and the ShieldWall System — Continental pitches it for long days on fast gravel and bikepacking. The Terra Speed has a shallow, continuous hexagonal tread for drier, less technical trails and road sections, with BlackChili compound and ProTection. Both are 180 TPI, Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible to their limited maximum pressure (Continental).

ShieldWall or ProTection — what is the difference?

Both are Continental’s all-round puncture-protection layers for Tubeless Ready tyres, covering tread and sidewalls. ProTection is the extra layer Continental says is 25% lighter with 30% more puncture protection than its DuraSkin predecessors; ShieldWall is an additional ply of finely woven cross fabric that Continental says keeps damping and flexibility. Continental pairs ProTection with BlackChili and ShieldWall with PureGrip compound, but it does not publish a ranking between the two layers.

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.

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.
