The tubular tyre of pro road racers and triathletes
Each year, Continental gets requests from World Tour teams and professional triathletes for sponsorship. They all want the same thing...Continental Competition tubulars!
Recently, Egan Bernal, Geraint Thomas & Chris Froome have won the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019 Tours de France on Continental Competition tubulars whilst the tyre is now used by 7 UCI World Tour Teams. Add these wins to the fantastic achievements of Jonny and Alistair Brownlee in triathlon and that the tyre has been used by victors in the last ten editions of the IronMan World Championships in Kona, and you can see that it provides the best combination of speed, grip and reliability at the top end of our sport.
Multi Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy has ridden Competition in road events for most of his career : “For me the most important thing is always speed. As with every part of my bike and kit, I always want what is fastest. The Continental tyres that we used in the Tour Series were as fast as anything I could have wanted.”

Just above the 'Add to basket' button you will see the item availability. We have 3 different availability stock flags on our website which will determine how long an order will take to arrive.
In Stock in Kircaldy Shop
This means that we physically have the item in the shop. If you choose one of our Priority Delivery options then you can expect your order within 1 to 3 working days. If you choose a Non Priority Delivery service you can expect your order within 3 to 5 working days.
In Stock at Supplier
Our stock system is linked in with our suppliers stock system which allows us to offer a wider product range, but does increase the delivery times a little. If you choose one of our Priority Delivery options you can expect the order within 3 to 5 working days. If you choose Non Priority Delivery you can expect the order within 5 to 10 working days, although this is completely determined by the speed of the item coming from our supplier.
Out of Stock
This means that both ourselves and our suppliers are out of stock of the item. Although the website won't allow you to order something with this stock flag you are more than welcome to contact us with the Product ID. We may be able to back order it for you, or at least see if we can provide an estimated restocking date.
If you need an order quicker than this please email us with the product ID to find out if this is possible to avoid disappointment.
What about bikes?
We aim to dispatch all bikes within 5 working days, but during busy periods we may have a few builds in the queue and could take a bit longer. If this is a concern or you need the bike before a certain date then please email us to make sure we can achieve this and avoid any disappointment. We will email you the day of dispatch and you can expect the bike the following day. If you provide a mobile number on your order the courier will also send you a text message 1 hour before delivery so you know exactly what time to expect it.
Who do you use to send orders?
We use Royal Mail for most of your orders unless they are bulky or valuable, in which case we will send the order using DPD. You can also specify DPD at checkout if you prefer to have your item delivered with an hours notice in the form of email or text from the courier.
