Continental Ultra Sport III (Folding)
Performance for the Long Haul.
The Ultra Sport III is designed to bridge the gap between a pure race tire and a rugged commuter. It features an updated tread pattern and a more supple casing than its predecessors, providing a noticeably smoother ride. By utilizing the PureGrip Compound, Continental has created a tire that offers exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions while maintaining a level of durability that shrugs off the debris of everyday roads.
Why the Ultra Sport III is the Rider's Choice:
-
PureGrip Compound: Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as a performance-level rubber, but after intensive development, it resulted in a compound with advanced grip and cross-country properties. It’s "sticky" enough for confident cornering but tough enough for thousands of kilometers.
-
E25 E-Bike Rated: Built to withstand the additional weight and higher torque of modern electric bikes. This means the casing is reinforced to handle speeds up to 25 km/h, making it a robust choice for heavy-duty commuting.
-
Modern Tread Design: The updated, sleek tread pattern isn't just for aesthetics. It’s optimized for water displacement and low rolling resistance, ensuring you stay fast on the flats and secure in the turns.
-
High-Volume Options: Available in 23mm, 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm widths. This allows you to choose the perfect balance of aerodynamic speed or the plush, vibration-damping comfort of a wider tire.
-
Supple 3/180 TPI Casing: Three layers of 60 TPI fabric under the tread provide a high level of puncture resistance while keeping the tire flexible enough to "feel" the road.

The Alegro Perspective: We call the Ultra Sport III the "workhorse of the fleet." It’s the tire we put on our bikes when we know we’re going to be putting in big base miles in the spring and don't want to worry about flats. It offers about 90% of the performance of the famous GP5000 at a fraction of the cost. Making it the best value-for-money upgrade in the shop.
