Finally we got comprehensive review of the newest Continental Pure Contact tyre:
https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/tour-reviews/continental-pure-contact
The tyre itself looks very promising. It is lightweight (635g in size 47×622), very good puncture protection, wide range of sizes (up to 55×622), very low rolling resistance.
It is mainly an urban tyre, however I have toured more than 12kkm (including Balkans, Turkey) on Continental Urban Contact and it is a very good tyre for cycling mainly on asphalt & gravel roads.
I considered it before my autumn trip but it was not available in my country then.
Do you have any experience with new Pure Contact?

Thanks for sharing! I have these exact tires on my new touring bike but haven’t made many miles yet in wintertime.
Hopefully, they will perform equal or better than the Schwalbe Marathon Plus on my old bike.
