Continental TDF Limited Edition Pro Tubular
To celebrate another Tour de France milestone, tire sponsor Continental has issued a limited edition run of Competition TdF LTD tubulars.
It is the closest Continental are letting consumers get to the the mythical-rare-as-hens-teeth Competition Pro LTD Tubular, which they make by hand for professional UCI teams only.
The TdF LTD tubulars are handmade in Germany by Continental, sewn and vulcanized by the same hands that make the pro’s tyes. They use the same top-level, German-produced BlackChili compound rubber that gives the Competition family excellent grip, low rolling resistance, and relatively long wearing, and Conti’s signature fine file ALX tread design. They also get a lightweight Vectran breaker under the tread for reliable puncture protection.
The tyres have a slightly higher 200tpi carcass that makes them ever so slightly faster, more supple & lighter than the standard 180tpi casing. But where they differ from the pro-only version is the lightweight butyl inner tube for better retention of air pressure, vs. the latex tubes found inside the wheels of Cavendish, and team Ineos.
The Competition TdF LTD tubulars come only in 700x25mm, with a claimed weight of 250g (30g lighter than the standard Competition.)
- 200tpi
- Weight: 250g
- 25mm only
- Tubular tyre, we recommend gluing with Continental Rim Cement
- Butyl inner tube
- Handstitched in Germany
- Black chilli rubber composition
