From spring 2015 onwards, Continental will offer the Baron Project 2.4 in all three wheel sizes and with the Protection Apex carcass. The 900 – 950g tyre is supposed to be tenaciously grippy and comes with good damping qualities. It has an open tread profile, clearing mud fast, and is seen as an allrounder, with good rolling qualities.
