Schwalbe Durano
Durano is the right choice for high mileage purposes, because no other racing tire lasts longer. At the same time the Dual Compound offers great grip for training on wet winter roads. It has the proven RaceGuard protection belt. The folding version weighs only 235 g.
Under normal conditions - i.e. unladen, on-road and under ordinary braking - expected tread life should be over 6,500 m (10.000 km).
Continental Sport Contact
Built with a hybrid aramid/polyamide belt under the tread where the lightweight & flexible polyamide is used as the main material to keep rolling resistance low, and filaments of aramid (kevlar) are spread over this belt to give a strong yet lightweight puncture protection system.
The compound is a mix of carbon and silica as the main agents. Carbon aids tread life whilst the silica boosts grip levels. The rubber used is natural, which gives superior wet grip.
Includes moderate grooves in the tread to guide water away from the contact area.
