A dependable touring tyre for everyday rides on roads and paths.
The Continental Ride Tour 700 × 42c is a versatile tyre for commuting, touring and recreational riding. Its continuous centre tread rolls smoothly on firmer surfaces, while the shoulder tread provides grip when cornering on mixed routes.
Puncture ProTection and reinforced sidewalls make it a practical choice for bikes that cover regular kilometres.
Made for Everyday Routes
The Ride Tour is designed for riders who use roads, cycle paths and unsealed routes. Its durable casing and long-lasting tread suit everyday trips and longer touring rides.
Puncture ProTection
A rubber breaker works with reinforced sidewalls to help protect against punctures and wear. This added protection is useful when riding through areas where glass and road debris are common.
E-Bike Ready
Continental’s ECO designation indicates suitability for compatible e-bikes with assistance up to 25 km/h. The construction is designed to cope with the additional demands of electric assistance.
