Technologies

ProTection

The ProTection technology gives Continental's tires their perfect mix of fast rolling, grip and puncture protection. Four plies under the tread and three in the sidewalls make this possible. The whole tire attains greater resilience and becomes less vulnerable to damage.

Adheres well to the terrain, even on the toughest trails.

Very good damping characteristics.

BlackChili Compound ensures smooth rolling and the required grip.

Tubeless Ready: The revolutionary Tubeless Ready base enables the tire to be mounted easily.

BlackChili

In the research and development laboratories for Continental bicycle tires in Korbach, Germany, the staff and engineers have been looking for the solution to one of the fundamental problems of tire construction: the running properties of the rubber compound of a tire are largely determined by three interacting factors: static friction (grip), rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma is that you improve one of these factors, and in turn, worsen at least one other. A tire with maximum grip wears out faster and rolls slower. If one makes the tyre faster or more durable, then this in turn reduces grip. With the current highest standard of compound technology, the Activated Silica Compound, Continental's developers wanted to take compounding to an even higher level. This lead them to venture into new territory, exploring new ways so that in 2005 they made a breakthrough in mixing technology, the first steps to what is now known as Black Chili. This revolutionary compound is based on the latest findings on polymer and other raw material research.
