Terra Speed or Terra Trail?

Continental’s two gravel treads. The Terra Speed has a shallower, continuous hexagonal tread for fast riding on drier, less technical trails and road sections. The Terra Trail rolls similarly in a straight line but has a much larger, more robust shoulder tread for control when the trail gets technical. The versions we stock also differ in build: Terra Speed with BlackChili compound and ProTection, Terra Trail with PureGrip compound and the ShieldWall System. Both are Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible to their limited maximum pressure (Continental).

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.

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.

Terra Trail ProTection or Terra Trail ShieldWall?

Same Terra Trail tread — fast in a straight line, with a large, robust shoulder tread for control on technical trails — and both are 3/180 TPI, Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible to their limited maximum pressure (Continental). The difference is the build: the ProTection version pairs BlackChili compound with Continental’s ProTection layer, the ShieldWall version pairs PureGrip compound with the ShieldWall System. Continental makes the ProTection in limited sizes only and points to the ShieldWall for further sizes; it does not rank the two protection layers.

CONTINENTAL Terra Trail Shieldwall Tubeless Ready Gravel Tyre

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.

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.

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 Terra Trail ShieldWall is Continental’s gravel tyre for mixed and technical terrain: it rolls fast in a straight line like the Terra Speed, but a much larger, robust shoulder tread gives the control you need in corners when the trail gets technical (Continental). This version pairs PureGrip compound with the ShieldWall System on a 180 TPI Tubeless Ready casing, hookless compatible to its limited maximum pressure. For faster, drier routes choose the Terra Speed.
