Continental Ultra Sport III 700c Folding Road Tire (Black-Brown)
0150680
A folding 700x28c road tire for riders who want a grippy, long-lasting everyday tire, with a brown sidewall that gives a classic look to modern and traditional road bikes alike.
Overview
The Ultra Sport III is Continental's entry point into performance road tires, built around the idea that a good road tire should be fast enough for training and durable enough to ride every day. Its dynamic tread pattern and PureGrip compound are designed to give confident grip while keeping rolling resistance low.
This version is the 700x28c (28-622) folding tire in black with a brown sidewall. It uses a 3-layer, 180 tpi carcass and a folding bead, so it is light for its width at 285 g and easy to carry as a spare. The PureGrip compound is based on activated silica, positioned just behind Continental's BlackChili compound in the range.
The 28 mm width sits in a comfortable sweet spot for real-world roads, giving more volume and cushioning than a 23 mm or 25 mm tire while still rolling quickly. It suits riders who want one dependable tire for training, commuting and weekend rides.
Why You'll Like It
Grip you can trust
The PureGrip compound uses activated silica to deliver dependable traction on dry and damp roads, so cornering and braking feel secure.
Miles that last
The same compound is formulated for long service life, which keeps the cost per kilometre low for riders who put in regular distance.
Comfort from a 28 mm casing
The wider 28 mm profile runs at a lower recommended pressure of 5.5-8.0 bar, which helps absorb road buzz on rougher surfaces.
Light and packable
The folding bead and 285 g weight make this tire easy to store and carry as a spare on longer rides.
Ready for e-bikes too
It carries Continental's ECO 25 rating, so it can also be used on e-bikes assisted up to 25 km/h.
Who Is It For?
This tire is a strong fit for riders stepping into road cycling who want a reliable performance tire without paying for a race-level model. It works well for long weekend rides, early-morning training loops and regular commutes.
In India, where road quality can change quickly from smooth tarmac to patched surfaces, the 28 mm width and lower pressure range add welcome comfort and confidence. It is also a good choice for classic and city road bikes, where the brown sidewall complements the frame and saddle.
Good to Know
Check that your rim is compatible with a 28 mm 700c (ISO 622) tire before fitting. This is a clincher-style folding tire designed to be used with an inner tube. For the best ride, inflate within the printed 5.5-8.0 bar range and adjust downward within it for extra comfort on rough roads. Store a spare folded in a saddle bag for quick roadside changes.
