Giving something back to your city!

The tyre made from dandelions, for the sustainable lifestyle.Grown and made in Germany. Comfortable race construction –ideal for the urban ride.

The Urban Taraxagum by Continental is the first serial bicycle tyre made from dandelion rubber, for which we established the brand mark Taraxagum™. The project is embedded in a comprehensive sustainability strategy, covering economic, ecological and social aspects. Through significantly shorter distances from the fields and our European tyre plants, we reduce efforts in logistics and transport and use resources more efficiently.Another important contribution to sustainability –in series.
