Continental: which tyres to choose for your bike

Continental was founded in Hanover, Germany, and is known for tyre production. In cycling, it offers ranges for road and off-road use: Grand Prix and Ultra Sport for road bikes, Kryptotal for MTB. Start your choice with how you use the bike, the terrain and wheel compatibility.

The Evolution Bikes catalogue includes 133 Continental products. The range mainly includes road and MTB bike tyres, alongside tyres for city bikes, gravel, cyclocross and e-bikes, inner tubes and tubular tyres. Check each item's product details for the variant and availability of the size you need.

  • Grand Prix 5000: an option for those looking for a road tyre for training and sporting rides. The Grand Prix 5000 700x25c is among the available models, alongside the 28 and 32 mm versions. Choose the width by checking the rim and frame clearance.
  • Grand Prix 5000 S TR: this is the Tubeless Ready version. The Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700x28c requires a rim compatibility check and, for tubeless fitting, appropriate wheel preparation. The S TR designation distinguishes this version from the Grand Prix 5000 for use with an inner tube.
  • Ultra Sport III: a range to consider for training and regular use on tarmac. You can check the available variants in the product details for the Continental Ultra Sport III.
  • Kryptotal Front Enduro Soft: a MTB tyre intended for the front wheel. Assess the available 29 x 2.40 version according to terrain, fork clearance and the rear tyre it will be paired with.

To choose the size, start with the marking on your current tyre's sidewall. The 25-622 designation identifies the nominal width and bead seat diameter; it also appears as 700x25c. A wider tyre requires sufficient clearance, including around the brakes and fork. The road tyre width guide helps you assess a change in width.

If you use an inner tube, check its size range and valve length. For city bikes, gravel and e-bikes, also consider the tread and intended use stated in the product details. Evolution Bikes has been a family-run shop near Caserta since 1974, with three generations of experience and a workshop: ask us for advice in store or via chat to choose a suitable Continental tyre.
