Continental Contact Plus City Reflex – Wire Bead Black/Black Reflex 700x42c (40c)
The Continental Contact Plus City Reflex is a high‑performance, wire‑beaded tyre designed for urban commuting and light touring. Its robust construction delivers reliable traction, puncture resistance, and excellent handling on both paved streets and mixed surfaces.
Key Technical Specifications
- Size: 700 × 42c (40c) – a standard 28‑inch wheel diameter with a 1.60‑inch width, ideal for city bikes, hybrid models, and e‑bikes.
- Construction: Wire bead reinforced with a steel wire core that provides superior sidewall strength and resistance to pinch flats.
- Compound: Continental’s proprietary “Contact Plus” rubber blend offers low rolling resistance while maintaining durability under heavy use.
- Reflective Strip: Integrated black reflective strip enhances visibility in low‑light conditions, improving safety for riders and pedestrians alike.
- Load Rating: Suitable for a wide range of rider weights, making it versatile for solo commuters and those carrying cargo or gear.
Performance Highlights
The tyre’s wire‑beaded design delivers exceptional puncture protection, especially on rough urban terrain where debris and sharp objects are common. The Contact Plus compound reduces rolling resistance, allowing riders to maintain speed with less effort. Combined with the reflective strip, the tyre offers a blend of performance, safety, and longevity.
Ideal Applications
- Urban Commuting: Smooth ride on city streets, reliable grip in wet or dry conditions.
- Light Touring: Handles occasional gravel or uneven surfaces without compromising comfort.
- E‑Bike Compatibility: Designed to withstand the higher torque and weight of electric bicycles while preserving efficiency.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- When mounting, ensure the wire bead is fully seated in the rim to prevent sidewall damage.
- Check for proper inflation pressure as specified by Continental; under‑inflation can increase wear, while over‑inflation may reduce traction.
- Inspect the reflective strip periodically; replace if it becomes worn or damaged to maintain visibility.
