Product description

Continental has kitted out this model with its renowned BlackChili compound, which delivers high levels of speed, grip and mileage as you clock up the miles. Also benefitting from tubeless ready technology, it allows you to enjoy tubeless advantages on race day, such as the ability to run lower pressures for increased stability, lower rolling resistance and fewer chances of flats. To top it off, it’s equipped with Vectran Breaker puncture protection for extra shielding against punctures as you stay focused on the podium. Made to make you better, this is a great choice of upgrade for riders who want to ride faster, more comfortable and with increased puncture protection.
Road Bike Tyre with BlackChili Compound

It’s all about how you mix it. With Continental’s unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, the brand has revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound, Continental has answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. Regular test wins confirm the measurable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers, as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials, guarantee unique performance.
Vectran Breaker Puncture Protection

The benchmark in puncture protection Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk-like Vectran has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
