Terra Speed vs Competition review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Continental Terra Speed vs Continental Competition tyres. Both manufactured by the same brand Continental, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Continental Terra Speed is better for Cross Tires activities, Continental Competition is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to Race Tires activities.

Vectran
The benchmark in puncture protection
Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
