Continental Archetype Tire

The Archetype is a racer's tire, with speed and low rolling resistance at its heart. Is it faster? You’ll have to ask the most successful team in the UCI World Rankings.

RIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT

Finding the key to success doesn't happen by accident – it takes a team working together to test, learn and evolve. The Archetype is born out of this process. After countless hours of riding and winning with UAE Team Emirates - XRG, we developed a stripped-back tire with only racing in mind. The Archetype is a racer's tire, with speed and low rolling resistance at its heart.

With our unique tread compound, we have revolutionized the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance, be it on a road, gravel or a mountain bike, for time trialling or downhill.

The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tire construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride.

Lazer Grip, to make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.

Tubeless Ready:
For initial mounting we recommend to use at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tire. Then spin the tire (wheel) to spread the Conti RevoSealant inside of the tire and pump to the allowed maximum pressure. Check the pressure before the next ride and adjust to your desired PSI.
