Super
fast city slicker....now
available in reflective sidewall & 20" options
The
Sport Contact has a rolling resistance comparable to some of our road
bike tyres, it's THAT fast! Those in a hurry will benefit from the new
features which make the tyre more resistant to punctures than the old
Avenue. Check out our tyre
application chart for more help in choosing your ideal city/touring
tyres. Other tyres in the new Contact range include City Contact for those
commuters requiring a wider, slightly more comfortable tyre, Travel
Contact which is intended for world touring and so can handle
rougher terrain, and the Contact
which is our new tyre for touring enthusiast such as CTC and Audax cyclists.
All the contact tyres are built with a hybrid aramid/polyamide belt under
the tread where the lightweight & flexible polyamide is used as the main
material to keep rolling resistance low, and filaments of aramid (kevlar)
are spread over this belt to give a strong yet lightweight puncture
protection system.
The
compound we have used for the Sport Contact uses a mix of carbon and
silica as the main agents. Carbon aids tread life whilst the silica boosts
grip levels. The tread uses a high concentration of natural rubber, giving
superior wet grip to synthetic compoiunds.
Includes
moderate grooves in the tread to guide water away from the contact area for
your safety on wet roads.
