Every new year it's the same: the scales remain at threatening record levels and the frosty weather is already gnawing away at the good intentions (more sport!) that you made just a few days ago. The alternative is winter training indoors, so that even the most temperature-sensitive minds don't say goodbye to fitness for good.

Resistant to frictional heat
As studded tires are not suitable for most training wheels, a slick tire is recommended for mountain bikes. However, the sensitive road tires for 26" bikes are expensive and wear out quickly on the rollers. An alternative is the "UltraSport Hometrainer" from Continental. This smooth-tread tire is ideally suited to roller use. Its tough, cold-running rubber compound is less sensitive to the frictional heat of the roller than normal bike tires. The tire therefore remains usable for a long time because the tread does not come off, as often happens with normal tires on the roller. The thick layer of conti yellow rubber on the tread of the folding tire also ensures a long service life.

Exclusively for indoor training
The "UltraSport Hometrainer" is available in size 26x1.75 for mountain bikes. Alternatively, the home trainer tire is also available in a road bike version. According to Continental, both tires should only be used on the home trainer and are available from specialist dealers in Switzerland. The recommended retail price is CHF 50.50.
