Continental Terra Competition Race Rapid tyre 700x40C folding (black)

Terra Competition Race: the fastest choice for light gravel roads and races, focused on minimum weight and maximum pace.

The Continental Terra Competition is the definition of speed in the gravel world. This tyre was designed for riders who refuse to compromise between road pace and confidence on gravel. It is Continentals fastest gravel model, excelling on paved roads, hard ground and slightly loose surfaces.

The basis of the tyre is the Rapid Compound, which focuses on extremely low rolling resistance. The almost continuous centre part of the tread provides lightning acceleration on asphalt, while the carefully considered side knobs give you the stability and cornering control you need once you leave the road. Thanks to a light and supple casing with a high thread density of 3×330 TPI, the tyre adapts perfectly to the terrain, which increases both comfort and traction. Race Casing technology also keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing puncture protection.
