Padanga 28" Continental Contact Tire 700x42C Black

Continental Contact 700x42C Black is a versatile 28-inch bicycle tyre designed for city, trekking and everyday riding, offering reliable grip, good rolling performance and puncture protection.

Key Features

Construction and Design
The tyre features a durable wire bead and a 42-622 ETRTO size, corresponding to the 700x42C format. The 42 mm width provides more stability and comfort than narrower city tyres, making it well suited for rougher asphalt, cycle paths and gravel roads.

The Black version has a clean and understated appearance that matches city, trekking, hybrid and electric bikes. The tread pattern is designed for everyday use, balancing easy rolling with grip on different surfaces.

Main Functions
Continental Contact is made for riding on asphalt, paving stones, cycle paths and lighter gravel roads. The lamellar tread structure helps maintain stable contact with the ground and adds confidence when cornering or braking.

The SafetySystem Breaker protective layer helps reduce the risk of punctures and cuts. This is especially useful in daily urban riding, where glass, small stones and other sharp debris are often found on the road.

Use and Compatibility
The tyre is designed for 700C / 28" wheels with a 622 mm ETRTO rim diameter. It fits bicycles with enough clearance for 42 mm wide tyres, so frame and fork clearance should be checked before installation.

This model is suitable for city, trekking, hybrid, touring and electric bikes with assistance up to 25 km/h. During installation, a compatible inner tube should be used and the tyre inflated within the pressure range recommended by the manufacturer.

Additional Features
The tyre has a 3/180 TPI casing, balancing durability with enough flexibility for everyday riding. The approximate weight of the 700x42C size is around 710 g, making it practical for both daily routes and longer rides.

The recommended pressure range is around 50–85 PSI, depending on rider weight, bike load and riding surface. Regular pressure checks can improve rolling performance, reduce puncture risk and extend tyre service life.

Summary
Continental Contact 700x42C Black is made for cyclists who need a reliable and versatile tyre for everyday city riding, trekking routes and light gravel roads. It is best suited for city, hybrid, trekking and e-bike users who value stable grip, puncture protection, a comfortable 42 mm width and dependable rolling on varied surfaces.
