News: Continental finally release Baron Projekt with Apex Sidewall

The Korbacher based tyre giant has updated its tyre line-up and finally presented us with the eagerly anticipated Baron Projekt, a completely new tyre, developed with the help of Enduro pilots. Three further models have also been built with the Apex carcass.

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.


Continental has introduced two more models with the Apex carcass, making up an interesting line-up of tyres for next season. All the tyres with the new sidewall will cost €64.90.
Apex models:
- Continental Trail King 2.4
- Continental Trail King 2.2
- Continental Kaiser Projekt 2.4
- Continental Baron Projekt 2.4
