Continental's Terra Speed ProTection uses casing construction that layers four plies under the tread and three plies through the sidewalls, creating all-around puncture resistance without the weight penalty of older DuraSkin technology. The ProTection system delivers 30% more puncture protection at 25% less weight compared to previous reinforced gravel tires. The extra material sits where impacts happen, meaning both the tread and sidewalls handle sharp gravel and trail debris rather than just protecting the contact patch.

The tread pattern uses low-profile center knobs for pavement efficiency with taller shoulder knobs that engage during cornering. You're getting speed on hardpack and fire roads without sacrificing grip when the surface gets loose or the line tightens up. BlackChili compound balances rolling resistance against traction, using synthetic rubbers blended with natural rubber and optimized carbon particles. The 3/180 TPI casing provides compliance over rough surfaces while the folding aramid bead keeps weight down and allows compact storage as a spare.

Tubeless Ready construction includes the Revolution bead design, which seats more predictably during initial installation. Continental recommends RevoSealant for tubeless setups, though the casing also works with standard inner tubes if you're running a tube-type setup. The E25 rating means the tire handles the additional forces from pedal-assist systems up to 25 km/h without premature wear or sidewall failure.... Read More
