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.

Built for unfaltering speed through a wide range of conditions, the Riddler from WTB delivers added gusto for the rider who places equal priority on traction and efficiency. The Riddler keeps your legs on their game for hours on end and provides tenacious grip in the corners. Incredibly versatile, the Riddler expands the horizons of gravel riding and accommodates longer dirt tours with ease. Equally at home on your local CX course or gravel B-roads - what else do you needNylon fibres have a flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber needed to fill the gaps between fibres and minimizes weightProtected SG2 gravel tyres feature a 120tpi casing, which improves suppleness compared to a traditional 60tpi tyreSG2 was specifically designed to be a puncture protection layer, but it also improves air retention and eliminates seeping at the sidewallAggressive cornering knobs meet a low-profile centre treadRiddler 37 is an excellent choice for gravel grinding or dry cyclocross coursesRiddler 45 is an excellent for gravel exploration or drop bar bike packingThese tyres are come with the all-new SG2 Puncture Protection, which is a lightweight nylon insert that provides bead-to-bead coverage and ensures every area of the tyre is defended against slashes and punctures. As events become progressively rougher and cyclists pedal farther, gravel gets tougher. It only makes sense for gravel tyres to become tougher as well.
