Discover Continental’s new 2022 collection at Escapa.
The Ruban Shieldwall is the all-terrain e-bike tire that will take you to both rural and urban areas. The perfect companion for your daily commute, running errands, and weekend rides.
This technology, based on activated silica compounds, was originally conceived as a performance-level compound, but after intensive development at our Research and Development facility in Korbach, a new advanced compound was developed with exceptional grip and off-road capabilities. This new rubber compound, which bears the self-explanatory name “PureGrip,” ranks just behind our BlackChili Compound and is used in our performance products for both road and mountain bikes. In addition to providing excellent grip, it is also durable and long-lasting—both hallmarks of Continental tires, which are manufactured exclusively at the Hefei plant (Asia).
ShieldWall System
The ShieldWall system combines the optimal balance of high puncture protection and low rolling resistance with low weight. This is made possible by an additional layer of puncture protection around the entire circumference, consisting of a finely woven cross-weave fabric. This gives the tire high resistance to punctures and damage. Despite this additional layer, the tire offers excellent shock absorption and a high degree of flexibility, allowing it to adapt perfectly to the terrain. The revolutionary ready-to-use tubeless Talon bead enables easy and hassle-free tire installation. For optimal sealing performance and overall use, we recommend using the new Continental RevoSealant.
Tubeless-ready
Developed specifically for the mountain bike sector, this additional layer of puncture protection—which completely surrounds both tire beads—makes our casings robust and impervious to damage and penetration by foreign objects. For maximum effectiveness, we combine ProTection with the BlackChili Compound. The result: versatile, lightweight, and attractively designed. In addition, tires manufactured with this technology can also be used as Tubeless Ready.
Suitable for E-Bikes
For our E-Bike tire, we draw on over 100 years of experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of our city/trekking tires are rated for a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Tires marked with “e50” are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high-quality construction, they offer excellent puncture protection and low rolling resistance, which helps prevent premature wear caused by the additional motor power.
