Continental:
the blueprint to victory
crafted for speed. Engineered to win.
Success isn’t stumbled upon — it’s built. Forged by a relentless team pushing the limits, the archetype was born from the victories and tireless efforts of uae team emirates - xrg. Racing is in its dna.
The archetype is our lightest, fastest, race-specific 30mm road tire, delivering a significant 35g weight saving over the grand prix 5000 s tr. With an ultra-supple carcass, our latest blackchili compound for reduced rolling resistance, and lazergrip shoulders for superior grip and confident cornering, it’s built to perform at the highest level.
Blackchili compound
our legendary blackchili compound revolutionises grip and rolling resistance. By blending advanced polymers with specially developed carbon black particles and high-performance fillers, we’ve created a compound that delivers top-tier performance whether you're on road, gravel, or trail—time trialling or descending.
Active comfort technology
integrated into the tire casing, this technology absorbs vibrations and smooths out the ride—boosting rider comfort without sacrificing performance.
Lazer grip
laser-cut micro profile tread extends onto the tire’s shoulder, delivering exceptional cornering performance and road feel.
Tubeless ready
this tire is tubeless ready and hookless compatible.
For best results:
use a minimum of 30 ml of conti revosealant per tire
spin the wheel to spread sealant evenly
inflate to the maximum allowed pressure (as stated on the tire packaging)
re-check and adjust psi before each ride
always consult your wheel manufacturer’s guidelines and the packaging for pressure limits when mounting to hookless rims.
