Continental Argotal Trail Endurance 29" Folding Tire
Product information "Argotal Trail Endurance 29" Folding Tire"
Review
After great experiences with the Hydrotal, my expectations for the Argotal were high. On paper, both tyres are quite similar – same weight, casing and rubber compound. But in practice, the Argotal proved to be more specialized. On harder ground, it felt less stable and required a more precise riding style. It wasn't until I rode on loose, sandy trails that the tyre really came into its own – with impressive grip and a controlled feel, especially in fast, shallow corners. For me, the Argotal is clearly a specialist for soft, loose surfaces – ideal for pine forests and similar terrain. If you ride these kinds of trails regularly or want a dedicated tyre for specific conditions, this is a great choice. After around four months, wear is barely noticeable and durability is excellent. If you mainly ride hard-packed ground, the Kryptotal is likely the better option. Read more

Technologies
Trail - carcass
Three layers of carcass material under the tread provide high resistance and puncture protection. Of which 2 layers of carcass material for suppleness and adaptability.
ProTection
ProTection technology gives tires the perfect blend of smooth running, grip and puncture protection. This is made possible by an additional puncture protection layer running all around, which makes the entire tire particularly resistant and insensitive to injury. Despite additional layer, the tire has a very good damping property and irons cleanly over the toughest trails. BlackChili provides the necessary smooth running and grip. Another feature of the ProTection technology from Germany is the Tubeless Ready suitability. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tire. For optimal results in sealing and in use, Continental recommends the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant.
BlackChili 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 our Black Chili compound, a tread compound which is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, we have supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tire, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing. How does that work? For Black Chili we refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures we then add soot particles, which in turn are optimised in shape and surface properties.
Tubeless
Continental's carcass construction is particularly resistant and insensitive to damage and the penetration of foreign bodies. The result: Your tires are versatile, have a low weight and an attractive design. In addition, the tires with this technology can also be used tubeless or in combination with an inner tube.
Tires with Continental ECO technology benefit from over 100 years of experience in the development of moped and motorcycle tires. Optimized and recommended for e-bikes up to 25 km/h, they guarantee low rolling resistance and good puncture protection thanks to a particularly high-quality construction. Durability has been tested specifically for e-bikes to counteract premature wear due to the additional drive force.
