  1. Danny mac has created loads of new moves/lines that we've seen other riders try to emulate since.

    Danny who?

    Salut, Quoi de neuf?

    Just got your email and watched this, I thought it was good, some really nice smooth lines in it, but some of it was a bit crappy....

    NO YOU WON'T!

    They have 2 tyres coming out. First is Der Baron, which is exactly the same as last years Rain King (2.5" super soft black chilli). Then the Baron 2.3" which has the same tread pattern, but with the sidewalls and compound of the rubber queen 2.4" (apex sidewalls and black chill but not as grippy as der baron/kaiser)

    Now if anyone else misreads what is clearly stated on the Conti website then there will be trouble :P

    The Conti website hasn't full been updated yet.

    There are 2 types of Der Baron's and 4 types of Baron's(all new for 2011, and coming out this month),

    The baron's come in a 2.3 black chili compound with the same side walls as the old rain king, and current Der Kaiser, and the other baron comes in lighter (non black chili compound) and these both are available in folding and non folding.

    The Der Baron comes in a 2.5 black chili KEVLAR mix, in both folding and non-folding.

    would be cool if they made a street tyre with the chili compound of the rubber queen but in a really low profile tread and medium weight carcase.

    I agree, long shot, but could always ask them very nicely when I'm across in germany next week! teehee...

  3. Do Conti have any plans to make 24" tyres?

    They currently have a couple, but they are nothing special, just for kids bikes. But their has been talks of making some of the 26'' tyre's, available in 24'' sizes.

  4. So am I going to be able to buy a 2.3" tyre with the same sidewalls and compound as the rain king/der kaiser?

    Yes, you can get a Baron 2.3 black chili compound(which is the same compound and sidewalls as the rain king and der kaiser). Through our website they will cost £45.95, but they will not be instock for another couple of weeks.
