New Conti Products?

Snaking the Echo product news briefly, EuroBike is in full effect now - with a good presence from those guys over at Inspired - and some new product info has been leaking out gradually.  Continental have been making awesome tyres for a long ol' time now, with the Der Kaiser and Rain King/Der Baron tyres being popular amongst the 'grip at all costs' fraternity and the Rubber Queen being a staple for those who prefer things lighter and bouncier.

With their addition of Danny MacAskill to their roster it seemed a step into the 24" market was likely, and here are the fruits of their labour - the as-yet un-named Danny Mac tyre:

Various riders have been testing these tyres and with some good initial reports hopefully they'll be out sooner rather than later...
