The Blueprint to Victory
Crafted for speed. Engineered to win.
Success isn’t stumbled upon — it’s built. Forged by a relentless team pushing the limits, the Archetype was born from the victories and tireless efforts of UAE Team Emirates - XRG. Racing is in its DNA.
Developed for the Tour. Proven at the Tour.
Ridden by Tadej Pogacar throughout the 2025 Tour de France, the Archetype isn’t just made for racing — it’s made to win. From punishing climbs to high-speed descents, it delivered podium-worthy performance on the world’s toughest roads.
This is our lightest, fastest, race-specific 30mm road tyre, shaving 35g off the weight of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR. It features an ultra-supple carcass, our latest BlackChili compound for lower rolling resistance, and LazerGrip shoulders for razor-sharp cornering confidence.
When every second counts — choose what the pros trust.
BlackChili Compound
Our legendary BlackChili Compound revolutionises grip and rolling resistance. By blending advanced polymers with specially developed carbon black particles and high-performance fillers, we’ve created a compound that delivers top-tier performance whether you're on road, gravel, or trail—time trialling or descending.
Active Comfort Technology
Integrated into the tire casing, this technology absorbs vibrations and smooths out the ride—boosting rider comfort without sacrificing performance.
Lazer Grip
Laser-cut micro profile tread extends onto the tire’s shoulder, delivering exceptional cornering performance and road feel.
Tubeless Ready
This tyre is Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible. For optimal performance:
– Use a minimum of 30 ml of Continental RevoSealant per tyre
– Spin the wheel to distribute sealant evenly
– Inflate to the maximum pressure listed on the tyre packaging
– Check and adjust PSI before every ride
– Always refer to your wheel manufacturer’s guidelines and tyre packaging for pressure limits when using hookless rims
Always consult your wheel manufacturer’s guidelines and the packaging for pressure limits when mounting to hookless rims.
