Following strong rider demand, Continental has unveiled an expansion of its popular Gravity range of tires. For the first time, the brand’s Enduro casings will be available in the highly-anticipated SuperSoft compound, delivering maximum grip for aggressive riders tackling technical and challenging terrain.
The introduction of the SuperSoft compound in 2022 marked a significant evolution in Continental’s tire technology. Engineered to provide unparalleled traction and control, this ultra-grippy rubber compound enhances grip on technical descents, wet roots, and loose surfaces. By pairing the advanced compound with Continental’s Enduro casing, riders can feel confident when cornering and braking without compromising durability.
Continental’s mixed-conditions tire, Kryptotal, is also now available for 20, 24, and 26-inch wheels, catering to riders who prioritize the agility of smaller wheels alongside the tire’s grip. The range has also expanded for 29er and 27.5-inch options, providing more choices. Riders can choose Enduro casings in the SuperSoft compound for maximum grip or opt for the Soft compound in the Trail casing for a balance of support and durability. The expanded selection allows gravity riders to fine-tune their setup by choosing the combination of casing and compound that best suits their riding style.
Since launching the Gravity range, it’s been really exciting to see how riders have been mixing and matching different combinations of tires from the portfolio. We received many messages on social media and at events specifically asking us to extend our range to include softer compound options in lighter casings. Well, you asked, and we listened. We’re excited to introduce the SuperSoft compound in our Enduro casing, as well as adding more sizes and variants to the range. Now riders have even more flexibility for optimizing their setup.
