Continental

Archetype TLR Tire - Limited Edition

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This tire is exactly what I want on race day: minimal rolling resistance, insane cornering grip from LazerGrip, and it still dampens road buzz thanks to the ACT. The fact it’s Tadej’s tire of choice just reinforces that this thing is built to go fast."

Engineered with a single goal—outright speed—the Continental Archetype 700x30c tire represents the cutting edge of road racing innovation. This tire takes the most advanced Continental technologies and packages them into a lightweight, limited-edition setup designed to dominate.

The BlackChili Compound balances world-class rolling efficiency with competition-ready grip, while LazerGrip sidewall texturing delivers precise control in corners, giving racers the confidence to dive deeper and push harder. With a high-thread-count 2/220 TPI casing and ACT vibration absorption, the Archetype manages to maintain comfort without compromising road feel.

Weighing just 275 grams and fully tubeless-ready with hookless rim compatibility, it’s tailored for modern racing machines and the demands of elite-level performance. This is Continental’s lightest, fastest 30c tire ever made—and it shows.
