CONTINENTAL Archetype Tour de France Special Edition Road Tyres

The Continental Archetype Limited Edition TR Road Tyre is the result of extensive collaboration, testing, and development. Designed with racing in mind, it has been refined through countless hours of riding and winning with UAE Team Emirates - XRG. This stripped-back tyre focuses purely on speed and low rolling resistance, making it the perfect choice for racers seeking peak performance.

With the unique BlackChili tread compound, Continental has revolutionised cycling performance. This legendary compound delivers the perfect balance of grip and rolling resistance. Using the latest polymers along with specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials, it guarantees exceptional performance across all disciplines, whether on road, gravel, mountain bike, time trialling, or downhill.

The revolutionary Active Comfort Technology is integrated into the tyre construction to absorb vibrations and smooth the ride.
