Continental Argotal Downhill Soft TL-Ready 27,5" tyre
Specialist for loose Terrains
Ideal tire for loose terrain, with cornering stabilityand increased side-grip. The open tread pattern allowsfor self-cleaning so you can push your riding limits through dust and loam.
Features
- Supported in-line shoulder studs with supportive structure for high stability even when cornering aggressively: high mechanical grip especially in loose soils
- Open tread pattern design for perfect interaction on loose surfaces: good self-cleaning in moist and wet conditions
- The pronounced studs are equipped with steep ramps in order to generate mechanical grip through a pattern-soil interaction: expectational grip in on loose and mixed surface.

Technologies
Black Chili compound
The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tire are primarily determined by three interacting factors – stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity] . The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tire with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tire roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced.
With the Black Chili compound, a tread compound which is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, Continental has supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tire, Continental adjusts the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing.
How does that work? For Black Chili Continental refines special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures Continental then adds soot particles, which in turn are optimised in shape and surface properties.
Downhill Casing
Durable and reinforced carcass construction with supple and vivid characteristics
- 6 layers of carcass material (each with 110 Threads per Inch (TPI)) under the tread for robustness and puncture protection
- 4 layers of carcass material (each with 110 Threads per Inch (TPI)) in the sidewall for suppleness and adaptivity
- Apex for increased snake-bite robustness and support
- Foldable Aramid Bead
- Tubeless ready bead design for improved sealing
- Outstanding sidewall design with unique and distinctive look
- Label design with clear and intuitive symbol approach
- Cross woven chafer textile protects the tire and rim area
Soft Compound
The balance of grip and rolling resistance for gravity focussed use cases. High level of grip with a reasonable rolling resistance. Option to optimize the rolling properties of your rear wheel on the DH bike or have the optimal combo for Enduro or Trail riding.
Tubeless Ready
Continental's carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube.
