Black Chili

It's the compound that makes it: with its unique tread compound, manufactured only in Germany, Continental has revolutionized the cycling scene. Through the legendary BlackChili compound, they were able to answer the eternal question of grip or rolling resistance in the long term. Regular test victories prove the advantages for riders that can be measured and felt in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers and specially developed carbon black particles and fillers guarantee unique performance.

Active Comfort Technology

The revolutionary approach in road cycling: integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and provides a superior riding experience.

Lazer Grip

Lets you become one with the road: the lasered micro-tread structure focuses on the shoulder area of the tire, giving you increased cornering grip.

Vectran

The reference in puncture protection: Vectran™ is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber with a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran™ have enormous tensile strength at lowest weight. Exactly the right properties to be processed in a Continental top tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than comparable nylon breakers. The Vectran™ Breaker does not affect rolling resistance.
