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

This tyre combines the superb rolling performance and confidence inspiring traction that craves victory thanks to the BlackChili Compound, top-level damage protection thanks to ProTection casing and added stability and reliability via Apex sidewall reinforcement; this tyre is ready for any trail scenario, any obstacle and literally any riding style you can present it with. BlackChili Compound This tyre compound sits at the highest level of MTB rubber tyre compounds. Featuring the perfect balance between speed, grip and lifespan while far exceeding what other brands and models on the market can offer in terms of performance. ProTection Advanced Casing This technology is the ultimate combination of smooth rolling performance, grip and puncture protection, and has been optimised to ensure it is the best available. Featuring an additional all-around puncture protection layer, from bead to bead. It is exceptionally durable and non-reactive to terrain damage, it just keeps rolling and rolling through whatever is desired and does not falter in performance no matter how demanding the trail becomes. Apex Sidewall Reinforcement This technology provides an additional rubber profile between the casing layers of the tyre, which ensures optimum stability and supreme protection over the roughest and rockiest of terrain. Apex sits on the sidewalls of the tyre and reinforces the entire side section of the tyre. This ensures the tyre stays upright during cornering, that it is protected from impact and that it always stays true and rolls effectively; it enables it to maintain its complete contact patch with the trail.
