Continental widens Aero 111 to 32mm for front‑wheel aerodynamics

Continental has expanded its Aero 111 line with a 32mm width front tyre, preserving the front‑specific aero design with 48 vortex generators for better aerodynamics and crosswind stability. The 32mm model weighs about 310g, is tubeless‑ready and black sidewall, and is priced around £113.95 / $140.94 / €128.95. It was developed with Swiss Side and DT Swiss and remains compatible with certain wheelsets, continuing to pair with the Grand Prix 5000 S TR rear tyre as part of Continental’s aero tyre lineup.
