BlackChili Compound
This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in Continental German factory has revolutionized bicycle tires. The resultant compound showed a new relationship between grip and rolling resistance. This “Elevated level”, as it was previously known, was given the name “BlackChili”. The latest polymers, nanoscale soot particles, and optimized fillers all guarantee a unique performance, from downhill MTB tires to the time trial tires of the ProTour, they are second to none in their respective areas. BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% and provides 30% more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tires with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant ride from the first to the last kilometer.
PolyX Breaker®
With PolyX Breaker®, Continental brings PKW know-how to the bicycle tire segment: Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tires and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fiber is woven tightly crosswise. In this way, a very high fabric density is reached which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also especially resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is also not negatively affected by the PolyX Breaker®.
Please note: The design of the 28 mm wide tire may differ from the 23 mm and 25 mm wide tires.
