Continental launches new Terra Competition tyre

Continental has introduced a new, low-tread Competition tyre to its gravel Terra lineup, claiming it's the fastest gravel tyre ever. Aimed to "blur the line between road and gravel", there are two casing options available: Race or Trail. The former is aimed at faster riding with its Rapid compound, while the latter features a Grip compound and a more robust one-ply construction for traction and better puncture protection. The Race is up to 68 g lighter than the Terra Speed tyre, and Continental claims 17% lower rolling resistance at 35 mm width. The Competition is available in 700 x 35mm, 40mm, and 45mm widths, and all models are tubeless-ready and hookless compatible. Prices start from 69€/£59 /US$76.
