Continental Xynotal Downhill Soft TL Ready 29" tyre

Grip to push you beyond the limits

This tyre is perfect for hard, rocky surfaces. With low rolling resistance and contact patch edges that improve traction and braking, you can enjoy a fast, gravity-filled ride with the security of continuous grip when you need it most.

Features

• Soft compound: The balance between grip and rolling resistance for gravity-focused use. High level of grip with reasonable rolling resistance. Possibility to optimise the rolling properties of the rear wheel on the DH bike or to have the optimal combination for Enduro or Trail
• Downhill casing: The strongest and most reinforced carcass structure in the gravity line.
• Tubeless Ready: The carcass structure is robust and resistant to damage and penetration by foreign objects. The result: versatility, reduced weight and attractive design. In addition, tyres made with this technology can also be used as inner tubes.
• E25: also suitable for E-Bikes.

Technologies

BlackChili
The BlackChili compound is produced exclusively at the Continental plant in Korbach, Germany, and combines the latest polymers with carbon black particles and specially developed filler materials. Both cars and bicycles benefit from this technology. Mounted on a bicycle, tyres with BlackChili offer cyclists excellent reliability, whether in downhill races on a mountain bike or in time trials on a racing bike.

Apex
Used successfully for years in car tyres, its transition to bicycle tyres was only a matter of time. A natural rubber profile sandwiched between the carcass layers at the base of the tyre stiffens the sidewalls, minimising tyre torsion due to high transverse loads. Stiffer sidewalls in turn reduce the risk of punctures and prevent the tyre from slipping off the rim. At low pressure, grip is improved without becoming too loose when cornering. The risk of punctures is significantly reduced.
