Overview

Built for the city, ready for whatever the road throws at it.

The Continental Pure Contact is made for riders who use their bike the way it was meant to be used: to commute, to run errands, to explore, and to actually get places. It pairs Continental's race-proven Vectran Breaker with the PolyX Breaker technology refined in their car tire program, giving you Continental's strongest puncture protection wrapped in a fast-rolling, smooth-riding urban tire.

A Graphite Reflex sidewall keeps you visible from the side in low light, the tread pattern channels water away in wet conditions, and the rubber compound is built from one-third sustainable materials including silicate from rice husk ash, responsibly sourced natural rubber, and renewable softener. Folding aramid bead drops the weight, and the E50 e-bike rating means it can handle the torque, weight, and speed of modern e-bikes without chewing itself up.

What is the Vectran plus PolyX Breaker combination?

Vectran is a high-strength aramid fiber for cut resistance under the tread. PolyX is a tightly woven polymer breaker refined in Continental's car tire program. Together they form Continental's strongest puncture protection package for urban riding, defending against glass, nails, and the everyday debris that causes most commuter flats.

What does the E50 e-bike rating mean?

E50 is Continental's e-bike rating certifying the tire is built to handle the higher loads, torque, and sustained speeds of e-bikes up to 50 km/h. The casing and rubber compound are engineered for the added wear an e-bike puts on a tire.

What makes the Pure Contact sustainable?

The Pure Contact uses approximately one-third sustainable materials, including silicate derived from rice husk ash, responsibly sourced natural rubber, and renewable softener. It is one of Continental's more environmentally conscious urban tires without sacrificing performance.
