Continental Terra Speed Tubeless 700C x 45 Rigid Gravel Tyre

For your way off-road. For more comfort. For the adventure. Be it the long tour, or the shortcut on your way home. The new gravel Terra series by Continental gets you there. Made to get you over rough and smooth.

Experience the ultimate in gravel performance with the Continental Terra Speed Tubeless 700C x 45 rigid tyre. Engineered in Germany for riders who demand speed without sacrificing grip, this tyre is your perfect companion for mixed-terrain adventures. Whether you´re tackling long-distance gravel races, embarking on a bikepacking journey, or simply exploring the backroads, the Terra Speed is designed to excel on everything from hardpack and pavement to loose, dry trails. It strikes the perfect balance, allowing you to maintain high speeds on smooth sections while providing the confidence and control you need when the terrain gets challenging.

The Terra Speed´s performance is rooted in its intelligently designed tread pattern. The central area features a dense array of small, low-profile lugs that minimize rolling resistance, allowing you to fly across tarmac and firm dirt roads with road-bike-like efficiency. As you lean into corners, the larger, more pronounced shoulder knobs dig into looser surfaces, delivering predictable and tenacious grip. This dual-purpose design ensures you are always prepared for the unpredictable nature of gravel cycling.

Built for durability and reliability, this tyre features a robust construction with a comprehensive, bead-to-bead protective layer. This advanced casing technology provides outstanding defence against cuts, abrasions, and punctures without adding excessive weight, so you can ride with peace of mind on rugged and remote routes. The tubeless-ready design is a key benefit, allowing you to run lower tyre pressures for a significant boost in comfort, traction, and control. This setup smooths out rough vibrations, reduces rider fatigue, and, when used with a sealant, offers the incredible advantage of self-sealing small punctures on the fly.
