Continental AERO 111 Folding Tire - 26-622 | black

AERO from every angle

The next generation of aerodynamic road bike tire performance, developed in close collaboration with the experts from DT Swiss and Swiss Side. The AERO 111 is based on the race-proven technologies of the GP5000 TR series and sets new standards in aerodynamics. The race-optimized Black Chili Compound ensures excellent grip and lower rolling resistance, while the proven Vectran Breaker provides puncture protection. The patented, aerodynamically optimized tread design is equipped with 48 precision-formed air chambers. These so-called "vortex generators" create controlled turbulence on the front wheel, allowing the airflow to adhere to the rim for longer, which reduces drag and optimizes handling in crosswinds.

The sailing effect (forward force) increases at all speeds. Even with lower rim profiles, riders benefit from this effect because the laminar airflow stays longer on the rim and the air resistance of the wheel-tire system is reduced. 

Features of the Continental AERO 111 TR folding tire

• Aero, grippy and fast: The tire for road cyclists who know that every watt counts.
• "Vortex generators" reduce the air resistance of the entire wheel-tyre system.
• The sailing effect optimizes handling in crosswinds.
• Vectran Breaker for unparalleled puncture protection
• Tubeless ready and hookless rim compatible

The combination of all these properties means that the AERO 111 offers low rolling resistance, very good puncture resistance and exceptional grip in wet and dry conditions in addition to low air resistance.
