Continental Ruban ShieldWall Folding Mountain Bike Tire with PureGrip Compound and Tubeless Ready Casing for 27.5 and 29 Inch Commuting, Touring and Trails

Continental Ruban folding tires for everyday rides and trails

Continental Ruban ShieldWall is a folding mountain-bike tire for riders who combine daily transport, longer leisure rides and off-road routes. The tread photographs show closely arranged center blocks and more prominent shoulder knobs. This listing offers black folding-bead versions in selected 27.5-inch and 29-inch sizes, with the exact width and packaging identified in each option.

PureGrip compound and ShieldWall construction

The PureGrip rubber compound is paired with the ShieldWall casing construction shown in the product photographs. The casing close-up displays the protective fabric layer, while the tread close-ups let you examine the central rolling surface and shoulder pattern. The offered folding versions are marked with a three-ply, 180 TPI construction in their individual specification images.

Tubeless Ready tire system

The offered Ruban ShieldWall folding tires are marked Tubeless Ready. Tubeless setup requires a compatible rim, suitable rim tape, valve and sealant, selected for your wheel system. These additional setup items are not included with the tire. Check the wheel and tire manufacturers' installation requirements, tire pressure limits and bead compatibility before fitting.

Choose the correct wheel size and width

Available options include 27.5 x 2.1, 27.5 x 2.3, 29 x 2.1, 29 x 2.3 and 29 x 2.6, with packaging availability varying by size. Match the selected tire to the wheel diameter and check rim-width suitability, frame clearance and fork clearance. A wider tire requires enough space at the frame, fork and surrounding components. Inflate within the limits printed on the actual tire and specified for the rim.

Retail-card and no-retail-card options

Some sizes are offered with a Continental retail hanging card; others are offered without the retail card. The photographs show the corresponding packaging. Each option is for one tire in the selected size and packaging configuration. A wheel, inner tube, valve, rim tape and sealant are not included.

Reference weights for the available options

Approximate product weights shown in the individual option images are: 27.5 x 2.3 without retail card 785 g; 27.5 x 2.3 with retail card 794 g; 29 x 2.3 without retail card 740 g; 29 x 2.3 with retail card 843 g; 29 x 2.6 without retail card 851 g; 27.5 x 2.1 with retail card 658 g; and 29 x 2.1 with retail card 709 g. Weight varies with size and packaging configuration.
