Continental Argotal Downhill Supersoft TL Ready 29"

Grip to push you beyond the limits

The ideal tyre for slippery terrain, providing cornering and extra lateral grip. The open tread pattern allows self-cleaning.


Features

  • SuperSoft compound: the softest and most grippy compound in the MTB Gravity range. Especially for downhill and enduro riding, where the main objective is to descend at full speed. Tyres with this compound are intended for cyclists who focus 100% on grip, traction and control. Recommended for use cases with a high percentage of downhill.
  • Downhill casing: The strongest and most reinforced casing structure in the gravity line.
  • Tubeless Ready: The casing structure is robust and resistant to damage and penetration by foreign objects. The result: versatility, reduced weight and attractive design. In addition, tyres made with this technology can also be used as inner tubes.
  • E25: also suitable for E-Bikes.


Technologies

BlackChili
The BlackChili compound is produced exclusively at the Continental plant in Korbach, Germany, and combines the latest polymers with carbon black particles and specially developed filler materials. Both cars and bicycles benefit from this technology. Mounted on a bicycle, tyres with BlackChili offer cyclists excellent reliability, whether in downhill races on a mountain bike or in time trials on a racing bike.

Apex
Used successfully for years in car tyres, its transition to bicycle tyres was only a matter of time. A natural rubber profile sandwiched between the casing layers at the base of the tyre stiffens the sidewalls, minimising tyre torsion due to high transverse loads. Stiffer sidewalls in turn reduce the risk of punctures and prevent the tyre from slipping off the rim. At low pressure, grip is improved without becoming too loose when cornering. The risk of punctures is significantly reduced.
