Size 700X29C

When Swiss Side's aero expertise, Continental's tire know-how, and DT Swiss's wheel competence collide. The result is the AERO 111 tire - a perfected storm, which enhances the aerodynamic performance of any wheel and significantly improves stability and handling in the wind. Specially designed aero cavities in the patented tread pattern function as vortex generators, creating turbulent airflow on the surface that enables the air to stick to the rim shape of the front wheel.

Two tire widths available

  • Ideal for our Aero and Endurance wheelsets in various rim heights, the AERO 111 front tire is available in widths of 26mm and 29mm.
  • If you like to save every watt to reach new top speeds, you will enjoy the low drag of the Aero WTS combined with the 26mm wide tire.
  • For those who like to rack up kilometers, the 29mm wide tire will help you save precious energy and keep on riding longer than ever.

VORTEX Generators
The tire certainly looks different: 48 little cavities are regularly distributed over its surface. We call them vortex generators as they are the very features that manage to control the turbulence in the airflow on the surface of the front wheel. Ultimately, this results in a perfected storm that allows for the reduction of drag of the entire wheel tire system.

Aerodynamic drag - low speed
The AERO 111 is a tire like no other that operates on any wheel in any conditions delivering true quantifiable performance improvements.The beauty of the AERO 111 tire is that it delivers a speed- independent sailing effect and handling improvement. This means that the average rider at 30 km/h will benefit the most. We call this the «democratisation of wheel aero performance.

Aerodynamic drag - high speed
While our HADRON² Ultimate 625 wheels already have a strong aerodynamic performance, it is at yaw (cross-wind) angles greater than 10° that the wheel and tire system with the AERO 111 tire shine. We can see from the red curve that the sailing effect (drag reduction) increases as the yaw angle goes beyond +/-10°.

Note that the AERO 111 Tire on this wheel produces thrust, so-called negative drag, beyond 13° yaw.

This turns into an overall faster wheel and tire system.

  • Tubeless ready: The AERO 111 tire can be ideally set up in our tubeless ready rim beds, allowing the rider to run the tire at a lower pressure, improving both comfort and puncture resistance.
  • BlackChili®: Continental’s Black Chili compound revolutionized the world of cycling tires. It is renowned for offering the perfect balance of grip and low rolling resistance. The tread compound utilizes the latest research in polymers, including specially developed ‘carbon black’ particles.
  • Vectran™: The Vectran™ Breaker sits beneath the tread and offers an unparalleled level of protection from sharp foreign objects. The multiple-thread yarn has a tensile strength five times higher than steel! This Breaker is lighter than a nylon equivalent whilst not affecting rolling resistance
