With a design that boasts 12% better rolling resistance and 20% more puncture protection, while also being 10g lighter, it's a perfect choice for a wide range of road disciplines. Made to make you better, it features the renowned BlackChili compound, which delivers an excellent combination of speed, durability and improved comfort as you conquer every mile of road. Continental has also kitted out this version with a range of technologies including Vectran Breaker puncture protection, Active Comfort and Lazer Grip, so you can enjoy a smoother and more consistent ride. Road Bike Tyre with BlackChili Compound It’s all about how you mix it. With Continental's unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, the brand has revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound, Continental has answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. 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 Protection The 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. Technologies: Active Comfort: The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tyre construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride. Lazer Grip: To make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.

Most road bikes nowadays come fitted, as standard, with 700c wheels (including inner tubes and tyres) and not 650c. A 650c inner tube or tyre WILL NOT fit a 700c wheel. Please read the 650c Wheel Sizing guide explaining the difference between 650c and 700c wheels. Based on ETRTO (European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation) dimensions, 650c wheels are smaller than 700c wheels by about eight percent. Please, when on this page make sure you are buying the correct tyre size for you wheel. Check the sizing on your tyre before purchasing from this page. Tyre sizes tend to be printed on the sidewalls so please check before making a purchase.

TPS TyrePositioning System The narrower front tyre (22mm) provides reduced wind resistance and better handling. An adhesion-optimised tread mixture supplies the necessary grip, especially for wet cornering. The wider rear tyre (24mm) offers better traction thanks to a larger contact area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast-rolling, optimised tread mixture and larger contact area on the rear tyre, wear is reduced. The result is a pioneering front and rear tyre system for road racing – to be found in Conti’s GP Attack and Force tyres/tubs.
