Der Kaiser Projekt 29in Tire

Take a break from the daily grind and grind out some lunchtime lift laps on the Continental Der Kaiser Projekt 29in Tire. It pairs chunky knobs with nearly bombproof durability to grip hard in corners and ensure you're back at the office in time for the two o-clock conference call instead of tending to a worn out tire by the side of the trail.

The Der Kaiser Projekt reigns over the run with a focus on speedy grip that comes courtesy of its fast-rolling, multi-compound BlackChili composition. This multi-layer rubber compound maintains speed on tacky trails while providing enough grip that you can feel the ground underneath you, and it's designed to wear slowly and perform consistently throughout its lifespan. The casing comprises several luxuriously high-TPI layers, including six plies of supple 360 TPI under the well-spaced, knobby tread and four plies of 240 TPI in the sidewall—numbers almost unheard of outside of the top-end road racing game. As a final touch, the ProTection Apex layer provides protection against time devouring punctures as you blast down debris-filled lines.
