The Top Contact II is Continental’s premium tyre for city and touring bikes. With a Vectran Breaker layer, it is very well protected against punctures, and as a folding tyre, it is lighter and easier to fit than a standard clincher tyre. With e-bike certification up to 50 km/h, the Top Contact II tyre is also speed-pedelec-compatible. This black colourway is the version that manufacturers often fit as standard on new bikes.
If you are looking for the same wide size (47-622) but at a slightly lower price, and if you are not riding your e-bike faster than 25 km/h, take a look at the Continental Ride City, which offers slightly simpler puncture protection and is a clincher tyre rather than a folding tyre.
If you are looking for the same wide size (47-622) but at a slightly lower price, and if you are not riding your e-bike faster than 25 km/h, take a look at the Continental Ride City, which offers slightly simpler puncture protection and is a clincher tyre rather than a folding tyre.
Vectran Breaker protection
Vectran is a fibre spun from liquid crystal polymer and is stronger than steel on a weight-for-weight basis. When used as a breaker in the tyre, it provides excellent protection against punctures and cuts, without making the tyre feel stiff or increasing rolling resistance.
Fits:
- 28 inch city bikes and e-bikes
Does not fit:
- Other wheel sizes – we only stock the 47-622 version of the Top Contact II, and so it will not fit, say, a 20 or 26 inch wheel.
Not sure? Here’s how to check:
Look at the sidewall of your current tyre for the ETRTO number (e.g. 47-622). If it says anything other than 622, this tyre will not fit.
Included as standard:
- 1x Continental Top Contact II folding tyre, 47-622, black (sold individually, not as a set)
Not included / still needed or useful:
- Inner tube – this tyre is a tube-type tyre, which means it always requires an inner tube. If your inner tube is also worn out or you are unsure about this, replace it along with the tyre.
You can fit this folding tyre yourself. Use tyre levers to remove the old tyre and put the new one into place. If you also need a new bike pump, have a look at our range straight away.
- Keep the tyre's pressure between 3.0 and 4.5 bar, depending on your weight and the type of surface.
- Check the tread and sidewalls regularly for cracks, especially if you ride often and/or long distances.
- If you are riding a speed-pedelec, stay within the 50 km/h speed limit for which this tyre is certified.
Will the Continental Top Contact II bike tyre fit my bike's rim?
The Top Contact II that we stock has an ETRTO size of 47-622 (28 x 1.75) and is designed for standard 28 inch rims. Check the sidewall of your current tyre or your rim for the ETRTO number; if it is anything other than 622, this tyre will not fit. The 47 refers to the tyre’s width. This may be narrower or wider than your current tyre.
Can I use the Continental Top Contact II bike tyre on my speed pedelec?
Yes, this tyre is ECE-R75 certified and compatible with speeds up to 50 km/h, so it is also compatible with speed pedelecs.
Is the Continental Top Contact II a folding tyre or a clincher tyre?
It is a folding tyre, which is lighter and a bit easier to fit than a clincher tyre, although you will still need tyre levers.
Is the Continental Top Contact II bike tyre sold individually or as a set?
This tyre is sold individually, not as a set of two. If you want to replace the front and rear tyres at the same time, please order two units.
Can I use the Continental Top Contact II as a tubeless tyre?
No, this tyre is not tubeless-compatible and must always be used with an inner tube.
