Continental rolls out new category of tyre with the Ruban and eRuban Plus – MTB tyres for offroad and onroad use
Products: New Continental Tyres
Continental has unveiled two additions to range of bike tyres in a new product category for the brand: the ‘SUV-Allrounder.’ Harnessing 150 years of Continental research, development and cutting-edge technology, the new Ruban and eRuban Plus have been designed to provide outstanding performance both on and off-road for the rider who’s ready for anything.
The range comprises the Ruban, available in either a clincher or tubeless, alongside an e-bike specific eRuban Plus clincher tyre that’s certified for S-Pedelecs. With a chunky width, knobbly tread pattern to stay on track whilst cornering and the option to go tubeless ready, the Ruban is unashamedly MTB in its look and feel. But unlike MTB tyres that drop off speed when faced with tarmac, a fast rolling, energy-saving centre area enables the Ruban and eRuban Plus to comfortably switch terrain without compromising on capability.
The Ruban and eRuban Plus feature the technology the Continental brand is globally respected for: PureGrip Compound, developed at Continental’s R&D facility to create outstanding grip, elasticity and durability for performance products; ShieldWall system, a finely woven cross fabric which provides a puncture protection layer as well as low rolling resistance; PolyX BreakerTM, a technology borrowed from car tires to create a high density fabric resistant to punctures; and Plus Breaker, a highly elastic special rubber that gives practically impenetrable puncture protection.
Safety considerations, including puncture protection, are at the heart of every product development at Continental. Both the Ruban and eRuban Plus have the option of a reflective sidewall in the clincher versions of the tires to give added visibility to riders on busy urban streets.
