(PRESS RELEASE) HANOVER, 21-Jan-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Continental has expanded its gravel tire portfolio with the introduction of the Terra Adventure Graphite-Reflex, a new variant designed to enhance rider visibility while maintaining the brand’s most exploration-focused off-road performance. The latest addition incorporates a Graphite Reflective sidewall strip, improving side-on visibility in low-light conditions without compromising durability, traction, or speed.

Built for riders who venture beyond well-lit routes and predictable conditions, the Terra Adventure Graphite-Reflex retains the aggressive character of the original Terra Adventure gravel tire. The R88-certified reflective strip is integrated seamlessly into the tire’s distinctive graphite aesthetic, offering an added layer of safety for early-morning, late-evening, and long-distance adventure riding.

Drawing inspiration from Continental’s cross-country mountain bike technology, the tire features a fast-rolling, open tread pattern engineered to deliver reliable grip across varied terrain, from loose gravel and soft soil to compact hardpack. Reinforced shoulder knobs enhance cornering stability, while the 3-3-4 center stud layout supports controlled braking and smooth transitions on mixed surfaces.

The Terra Adventure Graphite-Reflex is available in widths ranging from 45 mm to 55 mm, catering to both speed-oriented riders and those prioritising comfort and control on extended rides. Across all sizes, the tire incorporates Trail Casing protection, tubeless-ready construction, hookless compatibility, and Continental’s proven Grip Compound to ensure dependable performance and resilience during demanding off-road use.

With this launch, Continental strengthens its gravel offering for riders seeking independence, versatility, and confidence when riding beyond daylight hours. The Terra Adventure Graphite-Reflex combines enhanced visibility with robust off-road capability, extending the possibilities for gravel and all-terrain adventure riding.
