Combining the benefits of grippy Continental Top Contact II Premium Winter tires, Muc-Off's Wet conditions lubricant and your choice of standard or extra warm pogies to keep your hands (and cables) from freezing, the Winter Essentials Package are here to prove one thing - that riding in the winter doesn't need to be scary.
- TIRES: Continental's Top Contact Winter II Premium tires are an absolute game changer. Using a "micro-siping" tread pattern, the tire creates little micro-grips all over it's surface, providing unparalleled control over the most treacherous surfaces, while retaining precise handling. Oh, and all of that without a single metal stud making a racket on the ground.
- POGIES: The standard pogies are by a company out of Quebec City called Blivet. They know the cold and developed these with another Canadian handcraft business to create a pogie that not only keep your hands warmer but also protect your cables. The other option, extra warm, is by Bar Mitts and they use a 6mm layer of neoprene and are lined with fleece on the inside which make this a tremendous option if you are out in the cold for a long duration of time.
- LUBE: Muc-Off's -50 lubricant is perfect for winter riding. It has great chain adhesion and it's great for brake and shifter cables too.
CONTINENTAL TOP CONTACT WINTER II PREMIUM TIRES: As the first point of contact with the cold and icy ground, you want to feel confident that your tires are holding the road with maximum grip. If you spend some time online reading the reviews, you'll see there is unanimous agreement that Continental's Top Contact Winter II Premium tires are total game changers. Like a winter car tire, the Contact Winter II tires uses "micro-sipe" tread technology (thousands of teensy tiny treads that grab onto ice) and a softer durometer compound that sticks like glue to icy roads. We've tried them, and we swear by them. For the winter cyclist this is an absolute must-have.
