• Tubeless tires by Continental work with both UST and Rigida / Nagesti rims and wheels.
• Tire and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary and pinchflats not possible anymore.
• In comparison to the system with tube the tire pressure can be chosen lower. The comfort of the ride increases.
• At a lower tire pressure the tire deflects more. The contact patch of the tire increases and the tread adapts to the ground better. Tubeless tires allow decreased air pressure and therefor deliver more traction.
• The airtight layer on the inside of the casing can be repaired with ordinary patches just like a tube.
