TKC80 Gen2
The Continental TKC 80² is the second generation of the legendary 50/50 adventure tyre, the first full redesign in over 40 years. New tread, new carcass, new compound. The blocks are larger and staggered, with longer equal-length edges and a 17% bigger contact patch for stronger off-road bite and more stable road behaviour. RainGrip compound technology lifts wet tarmac grip well above the original, and improved puncture protection makes it ready for remote travel. Note: mileage is similar to the original Gen 1, so this is not a tyre you buy for long road life.

Performance
MudReally good
Improved self-cleaning and staggered shoulder blocks give better bite in soft going than Gen 1.
GravelSuper amazing
The core strength. Larger contact patch and longer block edges give even more grip and braking control than the original.
GrassReally good
Big step up from Gen 1. Aggressive shoulder lugs grip well on wet roots, off-camber, and slick rock.
Wet Tarmac GripReally good
RainGrip compound is a real improvement. Confident in rain and cold weather, where Gen 1 felt nervous.
Road DurabilityReasonable
Not improved over Gen 1. Continental confirms similar mileage. Knobs round off quickly on tarmac, especially on heavier bikes.
Off-Road DurabilityIronclad
Stronger carcass and improved puncture protection. Built for remote, rough trail use where roadside repair is not an option.

Running tubeless? You can still fit a tube.
In rough terrain — rocky enduro, low-pressure riding, Iceland-style adventure — fitting a heavy-duty tube inside a tubeless tyre is a legitimate and smart setup. Rim size below is matched to your selected tyre (21" rim).
