FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Grip Compound?

The Grip Compound is designed to increase surface contact and mechanical grip, providing better control and stability on loose gravel and trail surfaces.

How does the Trail Casing benefit the ride?

The single-ply Trail casing is light and durable, offering protection while remaining flexible enough to absorb vibrations and surface chatter, leading to a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Can I use this tyre with an inner tube?

Yes, the tyre is foldable and can be used with an inner tube, but it is also Tubeless Ready for those who prefer a tubeless setup.

What is the recommended sealant amount?

Approximately 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant is recommended per tyre for tubeless setups.

Is this tyre suitable for E-bikes?

Yes, the Continental Terra Competition Trail Grip is approved for E-bike use up to 50 km/h.

What is the recommended tire pressure range?

The recommended pressure range is between 65-79 PSI.

How does this tyre compare to pure road or slick gravel tyres?

This tyre is specifically designed for loose and mixed terrain, offering more aggressive tread and grip than slick gravel tyres. It may have higher rolling resistance on pavement compared to road or slicker gravel tyres.

Troubleshooting

Tyre won't seat on the rim

Ensure rim tape is properly applied and bead channel is clean. Use soapy water on the tyre bead to aid seating. For tubeless, ensure a good air compressor is used to seat the bead.

Slow leaks after tubeless setup

Rotate the wheel to distribute sealant and allow it to seal the leak. Check for small cuts that may need plugging or reapplication of sealant.

Premature wear

Ensure correct tyre pressure is maintained. Riding predominantly on pavement can accelerate wear on this tyre's softer compound.

Poor grip in wet conditions

This tyre is optimized for dry to damp loose conditions. Reduce speed and be cautious on very wet, slick surfaces. Ensure sealant levels are adequate as it can help with minor sealing.
