The Top Contact Winter II is designed for the serious winter cyclist who needs reliable performance in cold conditions. The tread design features a never-ending-grip pattern that extends far into the shoulder area, providing consistent traction across varied terrain. The tire incorporates hundreds of lamellae that create biting edges which interlock with the terrain, whether you're riding on tarmac, gravel, or snow. The compound is specifically engineered to work effectively in colder temperatures, allowing you to maintain traction when other riders struggle with wheel spin.
