Confident cornering grip for loose trails, dust and loam.
The Continental Argotal is a 27.5-inch mountain bike tyre designed for riders who want extra grip when the ground gets loose. Its open tread and supported shoulder knobs provide traction and cornering stability on loose and mixed terrain.
Part of Continental’s Gravity range, the Argotal is available in selected casing and compound options for trail, enduro and downhill riding.
Made for Loose Ground
Pronounced tread blocks help the tyre find grip in loose soil, while supported shoulder knobs provide stability through corners. The open pattern is designed to clear dirt and mud as the wheel turns, helping the tread keep working when conditions become damp.
Choose Your Compound
- SuperSoft: A grip-focused option for downhill and enduro riders who prioritise traction and control on descents.
- Soft: A balance of grip and rolling resistance for gravity-focused trail and enduro riding.
- Endurance: A durable compound balancing grip and rolling performance for trail riding and longer rides.
Choose Your Casing
- Trail: Construction tailored to trail riding.
- Enduro: A durable single-ply casing with Apex protection to help resist pinch flats.
- Downhill: The most reinforced casing in the Gravity range for demanding tracks.
Casing, compound and width combinations vary. Check the selected variant carefully before ordering.
Tubeless Ready
The Argotal can be set up tubeless with a compatible rim and sealant, or used with an inner tube. Continental recommends Revo-Sealant for tubeless setups.

Who Is It For?
For trail, enduro and downhill riders who regularly encounter loose dirt, dust and loam and want a tyre with a focus on cornering grip.
Our Thoughts
The Argotal is a good pick when the ground is loose and you want the front tyre to bite into corners. Choose the casing and compound around the terrain you ride: more protection and a softer compound can be worthwhile on rough descents, while a lighter setup may suit longer trail rides.
Check the selected tyre width, rim compatibility and available frame or fork clearance before ordering. If fitting to an e-bike, check the rating on the specific variant.
