Join us for a unique story where adventure, experience and passion for clean mobility come together on two tyres.
The Bike
The Limited Edition Continental Anniversary bike is unique. Each of the 150 gravel bikes is unique due to their handcrafted design. The look reflects our passion for gravel biking, right down to the last detail.
Distinctive tyres meet high-quality parts that have been assembled with precision. Together with Continental, we have broken down barriers to bring you the ultimate gravel experience as well as unforgettable adventures.

Limited Continental Anniversary Edition bike, sales of this product will be conducted exclusively via the Inform-Me function on the product page. Our service team will contact you when your desired size is available and discuss further steps.
Braking power with GRX

The Tyre
Terra Trail – More comfort. More adventures.
Whether you’re on an extended tour or on your way back home, the new Terra Trail Special Edition from Continental will take you there: fast across asphalt, as well as good grip off-road. The special edition in the orange-cream colour scheme combines style and safety with tubeless technology, guaranteeing reliable riding fun.
The Collaboration
Continental kicks off the adventure
150 years – a time certainly worth celebrating, but how? The answer to the question was obvious to Continental, as the manufacturer’s focus is geared towards innovative and sustainable mobility. In 2020 came the idea to bring forth the ultimate gravel bike – limited to a quantity of 150.
The highlight, of course, should fall on the tyres. Continental chose the best-selling Terra Trail, and developed an exclusive special edition around it. Based on their signature colours, the tyres in orange-cream determined the design of the entire bike.
All that was missing was the “frame” for the Terra Trail – one that would do justice to a limited edition – as well as a partner who would lend a hand in selecting and building the ultimate gravel bike. Enter bike-components: perfectly-tuned tyre technology with 150 years of experience comes together with a passion for cycling sport and everything that goes along with it.
bike-components, the decisive factor
We’ve treated the Continental Anniversary bike like our own, selecting and installing only the best parts to pay tribute Continental’s legacy and to match the spirit of your adventures. This is how the ultimate gravel bike was created in collaboration with Continental.
The design was a special challenge for us. Those who enjoy gravel riding are at home everywhere: on grey asphalt, on gravel and at every altitude. This is exactly what should be reflected in the entire bike – in interaction with the classic Conti yellow.
For this purpose, each elaborate design element has been applied by hand with attention to every detail, making each bike a unique work. Suffice it to say, we were already completely thrilled during assembly, let alone the first test ride!
