Continental Archetype TDF Limited Edition Folding Tyre

Built for race-day speed. Developed with UAE Team Emirates – XRG, the Continental Archetype is a limited-edition, tubeless-ready road tyre created to be even faster than Continental’s quickest race rubber. It debuts in a 30 mm width with a construction focused on ultra-low rolling resistance and confident handling at race pace.

Why you’ll choose it

• Pure speed brief: Designed with WorldTour input to prioritise straight-line speed and fast transitions—perfect for crits, smooth tarmac and big days where every watt counts.

• BlackChili compound: Continental’s flagship rubber blends high grip with low rolling resistance for that “free speed” feeling.

• LazerGrip shoulders + Active Comfort: Micro-textured edges for precise cornering, with a casing layer that calms high-frequency road buzz.

• Tubeless-Ready (TR): Set up tubeless for lower pressures and extra compliance; always follow tyre/rim maker guidance for fit and max pressures.

Key details (indicative)

• Size: 700 × 30 mm (30 mm) limited-edition launch.

• Weight: ~275 g (30 mm), about 35 g lighter than GP5000 S TR in the same size. (May vary by batch/scale.)

Best for

Riders who want a race-first tyre with modern 30 mm speed, crisp cornering and a super-supple feel. If you need extra puncture protection or more wet-weather bite for everyday training, consider Continental’s GP5000 S TR or GP5000 AllSeason TR alongside it.

Fitment notes: Check your rim’s internal width and pressure limits (especially for hookless) against Continental’s tyre–rim compatibility guidance before setup.
