Continental offered a first look at its expansion into the 32-inch wheel world with a preview of the 32” Dubnital. Designed as a fast-rolling all-rounder, the Dubnital bridges cross-country mountain biking and gravel applications, bringing Continental’s proven performance technologies to the emerging 32” wheel category.
By scaling its tread design to the larger dimension, the new tire maximizes momentum retention, improves obstacle rollover, and increases overall traction and stability.
Available in Continental’s lightweight Race Casing and fast-rolling Rapid Compound, the Dubnital is engineered to boost rolling efficiency, while reducing rider fatigue on longer rides and rough terrain.
Alexander Haenke, Product Manager for MTB & Gravel at Continental Tires, said: “The growing interest in 32” wheels is clear, and our priority is ensuring riders have immediate access to Continental’s flagship tire technologies as new wheel sizes emerge. Choosing the Dubnital as our first 32” release allows us to support evolving setup preferences and frame designs right out of the gate.”
“As frame geometry and rider demands shift, we’re dedicated to building out specialized tire options that allow riders to get the absolute most out of this new, and increasingly upcoming format.”
The 32” Dubnital Race Rapid will be available globally in April 2027.
