Each year, Continental gets requests from ProTour teams and professional triathletes for sponsorship. They all want the same thing...Continental Competition tubulars. It's the combination of the 22mm dimpled Black Chili profile, and the reliable construction that keeps all of these athletes coming back for more. Vectran™ Breaker 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 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 bike 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. The latest Competition tubular features their BlackChili compound, which increases grip whilst lowering rolling resistance without affecting wear - truly phenomenal! BlackChili Compound Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage. For your consideration Do you require any tub glue or tape with your choice? We recommend either Continental Cement 25g or the less messy option of Velox Jantex Tub Tape

Stepping away from plain cycling gloves, the Competizione 2 Cycling Gloves bring some bold colours and sublimated graphical finishes to your glove game. But beyond the distinctive looks, they also perform brilliantly too. A synthetic palm, featuring the Castelli Damping System and medium-density padding, provides a secure grip and soaks up the micro-vibrations felt through the handlebars. The grip is also enhanced with a silicone grip pattern on the palm. A smooth no-sew wrist brings streamlined comfort and makes it easy to pull your gloves on and off before and after a ride. Castelli Damping System As cyclists, we can occasionally suffer numbness and discomfort in the hands, simply from prolonged periods of gripping the bars. The Castelli Damping System seeks to address this issue by carefully positioning a combination of cushioning foams and protection in key zones across the palm, providing damping from road vibration and increasing control and comfort.
The Giro105 Competizione Jersey can boast both fabulous performance and excellent eco-credentials thanks to the use of recycled materials from fabric experts Sitip. The front and rear panels use Velo Light, a fabric engineered to Castelli's specifications, offering outstanding moisture management, wicking away sweat before discomfort takes hold. The sleeves use a 3D mesh fabric, giving a close, comfortable fit and an excellent level of breathability. Should you feel yourself getting too hot, the full-length front zipper makes it easy to regulate ventilation and body temperature. While pro riders squeeze into ever tighter jerseys, the Giro105 Competizione Jersey has a cut and fit tailored to amateur riders who perhaps like a bit more space (particularly after a coffee and cake stop). While the fit is still streamlined, it's a more generous cut than Castelli's pro jerseys and the stretch fabrics also help in this regard, making it easy to move. At the waist, the silicone gripper prevents the jersey from riding up and three rear pockets offer space for all your cycling essentials.
