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 ProtectionThe 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.Features: Compound: BlackChili Puncture Protection: Vectran Breaker Use: Road PSI: 25mm Option: 109; 28mm Option: 94; 30mm Option: 73; 32mm Option: 73 TPI: 2/220 Tubeless Ready: Yes Technologies: Active Comfort, LazerGrip Single or Pair: Single Weight: 25mm Option: 250g; 28mm Option: 280g; 30mm Option: 300g; 32mm Option: 320gManufacturer's Part Number: 01018730000 Black/ Tan 700c x 25mm 01018740000 Black/ Tan 700c x 28mm 01018750000 Black/ Tan 700c x 30mm 01018760000 Black/ Tan 700c x 32mmBuy Continental Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
