Marginal gains become major advantages with the Continental AERO 111.

But which tire size fits you best - 26mm or 29mm?

First of all, check your wheel manufacturer`s tire width recommendations. You can find these online or in your wheel`s user manual. Once you know the suggested range, you can confidently choose between the two available widths:

26 mm – The fastest aero set up

If you're chasing watts to cut through the wind and achieving new personal best`s is your mission, the 26 mm version of the Continental AERO 111 is your go-to. Why?

• Optimised for almost all modern aero rims.
• Creates a seamless tire-to-rim air transition for minimal aerodynamic drag.
• Narrower frontal area = less wind resistance, especially at higher speeds (>35 km/h).
• Ideal for flat to rolling terrain, time trials, and fast road racing.
• Slightly lighter.

29 mm – The aerodynamic and comfort zone

Comfort is speed – especially on rougher surfaces. The 29 mm Continental AERO 111 offers more volume, and with it:

• Lower rolling resistance on broken tarmac or chipseal.
• The ability to run lower pressures = more grip and less fatigue.
• Improved grip in corners and wet conditions.
• Great for endurance rides, training, or riders prioritising comfort over every aero watt.

Summarising the facts:

The Continental AERO 111 is engineered for speed and can be used on any wheel to upgrade your performance. To find the perfect match, check our Wheel Tire System recommendations for each Swiss Side wheel.
