The "Baron 2.4 Projekt" is an extremely grippy, agile and universally applicable enduro racing tire with high durability and puncture resistance. During the development phase, Continental's tire engineers tested various optimizations to the tread, carcass size and carcass structure. For example, the tire with its chunky, fairly open tread should provide reliable grip even in mud or on loose surfaces.

The version of Continental's BlackChili compound adapted for enduro and freeride use ensures high grip and low rolling resistance. The 2.4-inch carcass combines good rolling characteristics and self-damping without increasing the tire weight too much. To protect the tire from cuts and punctures, an additional ProTection layer is applied over the entire carcass as special puncture protection. The stable Apex insert on the lower part of the carcass prevents the tire from collapsing when cornering at speed or puncturing the carcass on rock and root passages.

The "Baron 2.4 Project" will be ridden in the Enduro World Series by Dan Atherton and Martin Maes from the GT Atherton Racing Team as well as the entire BMC trail crew and the Radon Flow Team. The Focus Trail Team, equipped with the "Baron 2.4 Project", took the entire podium at this year's German Enduro Championships in the Harz Mountains. Freeride legend Richie Schley, trial artist Danny MacAskill and the entire Continental dirt jump elite around Martin Söderström, Andreu Lacondeguy and Sam Pilgrim tested the tire several times in advance under extreme conditions, and their suggestions were incorporated into the development process.
