Summary

  • Continental’s 2026 Tour de France Limited Edition package pairs a 29 mm Aero 111 front tire with a 30 mm Grand Prix 5000 S TR rear tire in a single race-themed bundle.
  • The set is meant to showcase the brand’s top road technologies: the Aero 111’s crosswind-focused aerodynamic tread, plus BlackChili compound and Vectran puncture protection on both tires.
  • Transparent sidewalls and Tour de France branding distinguish the release, and the Aero 111 appears in that transparent colorway for the first time—available only in the bundle, not separately.
  • Selected Continental-sponsored teams, including UAE Team Emirates-XRG, Movistar and Bahrain-Victorious, can race the combination in the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
  • The package will be sold globally through selected retailers at €216.95, £199.99 or $257.95, with both tires tubeless-ready and hookless compatible.
