I was able to test the latest new product from Continental,
namely the ATTACK / FORCE 3 pack. This now Continental ATTACK consists of a
23 mm front tire instead of the previous 22 mm and
a 25 mm rear tire which has
also gained 1 mm in width. In terms of evolution, the job function email database pack has of course the
latest version of the black chili rubber offering even more performance
and grip as well as a new differentiated design on the
sidewalls. Each tire has a Vectran anti-puncture strip.
The ATTACK / FORCE 3 pack
By offering a thinner tire at the front, Continental
is adapting to the constraints of aerodynamics on wide rims. Indeed, Continental ATTACK the
latest studies from major manufacturers such as Swiss side, Zipp, Flo Cycling have
clearly demonstrated that tires that are too wide and extend beyond the rim
quickly offer more aerodynamic resistance, especially in crosswinds.

In this area, the GP 4000S 2 23 mm tire is the best,
ahead of many 25 mm tires. The Attack 22 mm how does kinsta increase membership site speed was already well placed and much better,
for example, than an open tire like the Turbo Cotton 24 mm. I have already
covered this topic extensively in other articles.

The other argument
for having a tire that’s not too wide at the front is grip. This is betting email list because the rim
supports the tire better in a perfect extension. The case below shows
a 28 mm tire aligned with or extending beyond
a rim that’s too narrow for it.
