Urban Taraxagum vs Set Attack Comp & Force Comp review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Continental Urban Taraxagum vs Continental Set Attack Comp & Force Comp tyres. Both manufactured by the same brand Continental, these tyres have been designed to be used for the same purpose so that you can really enjoy your Race Tires activities.

Urban Taraxagum	Set Attack Comp & Force Comp

Give something back to your city!	The aerodynamic racing tubular set for the road
The tire made from dandelions, for the sustainable lifestyle. Grown and made in Germany. Comfortable race construction – ideal for the urban ride.AboutThe Urban Taraxagum by Continental is the first serial bicycle tire made from dandelion rubber, for which we established the brand mark Taraxagum™. The project is embedded in a comprehensive sustainability strategy, covering economic, ecological and social aspects. Through significantly shorter distances from the fields and our European tire plants we reduce efforts in logistics and transport and use resources more efficiently. Another important contribution to sustainability – in series.	Attack on the bike: much aero, low weight.Front and rear tire with their different sizes are specifially developed for each other and match ideally.
Features 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.	Features TPS Know-how from motorcycle sport, specially adapted for bicycle racing to address the specific demands of front and rear wheels. Front: agile and direct. The narrower tire provides reduced air resistance and improved steering characteristics. Rear: comfortable and dampening. With its slightly broader contact surface the tire provides better traction. Thanks to the compound mix being optimised for rolling resistance, stiction is reduced. The result: a pioneering front and rear wheel tire system in which the tires have been painstakingly matched with one another.
