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.
All the performance benefits of the PRO but optimized for plus sized tyres and wider rims. HOW IT WORKS Not all tyre inserts are created the same. CushCore is no ordinary tyre insert and is based on a new concept tyre suspension. Any suspension system has a spring and a damper and with CushCore pressurised air in the tyre is the spring and the CushCore tyre insert is the damper. Like traditional suspension a constant damping force wouldn't work. It has to be dynamic. Suspension should be supple on small bumps but firm on the big hits. CushCore responds differently depending on the tyre load and scenario. The more the tyre flexes the more damping it provides. Go Bigger - CushCore improves suspension performance by 16% and reduces impact force from big hits by 50%. Send it with total confidence. Corner Harder - 35% more sidewall stability eliminates tyre squirm and burping even at low tyre pressure. Rail corners with total confidence. Ride Faster - CushCore provides a 12% smoother ride and 3% reduced rolling resistance. Ride with more control more momentum and less fatigue. It's like taking fewer punches in a fight. SPECIFICATION Tyre Widths - 2.6'-3.0'. Inner Rim Width - 32mm-45mm. Weight - 290g (27.5') / 330g (29'). Includes - Single - (1) CushCore tyre insert (1) 44mm CushCore green presta air valve and (2) rim stickers. TOTAL CONFIDENCE CushCore transforms your tubeless tyre into a suspension system with a tune-able air spring and foam damper. A proprietary closed-cell polyolefin foam controls compression and rebound forces. Its lightweight ultra durable and impervious to sealant. CushCore's patented profile applies constant pressure on the tyre sidewalls. This provides protection and stability even at low tyre pressures. CushCore is designed to fit tight on the rim. This radial tension locks the bead to the rim while maintaining a supple tread patch. How CushCore Works

Improving on the GP4000S II, a tyre considered by many to be the best all-round road tyre ever made, might have seemed like an impossible task. However, true to their renowned reputation of continuous innovation, Continental has delivered an even lighter, faster tyre which offers more grip and puncture protection than any other to date. Designed with the latest iteration of Continental’s legendary Black Chili rubber compound, the Grand Prix 5000 boasts a 10-gram weight reduction in a 25c width, a 12% reduction in rolling resistance and a 20% increase in durability compared with its predecessor. Thanks to the proprietary Laser Grip Technology which creates a micro tread pattern that expands over the shoulder of the tyre, the GP5000 also offers increased all-weather grip, giving you the ability to take even the most technical corners at speed. Continental believes a comfortable tyre is a fast tyre – which is why the GP5000 now comes in a 32c width and is constructed with Active Comfort Technology to help smooth the sharpest shocks from the roughest roads. Lined with the tear-resistant but ultra-lightweight Vectran fibres, the GP5000 sets new standards for puncture protection in road race tyres. So, whether you’re training in the sunshine or racing in a downpour, you’ll have complete confidence that your tyre out-performs the competition in every category and in all possible conditions.

Corsa is Vittoria's top-of-the-range road tyre and it has been the race-day choice of pros for years. The strong points of Corsa are the cotton casing and the graphene-enhanced compound Vittoria's best technologies for road tyres. The cotton casing delivers suppleness to the tyre which translates to unlimited contact of the tyre with the ground - no Watt is lost and all of your power generates motion! The graphene compound is developed to reduce rolling resistance as much as possible. Graphene enhances the properties of rubber making the tyre faster and extending its wear life. Corsa is the outcome of continuous technological innovation and collaboration with pro riders. Take your performances to the next level with Corsa!
The Vittoria Corsa G2.0 is a road race bike tyre that is bursting with technology. At the heart of this new tyre lies the supple 320 TPI Corespun-K cotton carcass that helps the tyre to conform closer to the tarmac, which increases grip, reduces rolling resistance and improves ride quality. Famous for their use and development of graphene in road bike tyres, Vittoria has refined their latest G2.0 compound. With this new graphene compound, Vittoria can now manipulate the core molecular structure of the rubber to specifically enhance the speed, grip, durability or reliability of a tyre. Going a step further and using the G2.0 compound in conjunction with 4C technology, Vittoria can even optimise the rubber compound in different areas of a tyre's tread. Using this technology, while the centre of the Vittoria Corsa G2.0 is optimised for lower rolling resistance and speed, the tyre's shoulder offers improved grip when cornering hard. To maximise tyre durability, Vittoria has even added an additional layer of tough rubber compound underneath the outer layer to prevent punctures and increase longevity.

Using Pirelli’s SmartNET Silica® technology, this tyre provides outstanding grip in the wet and dry and unrivalled levels of puncture resistance. Pirelli’s “Functional Groove Design technology” gives this tyre a unique tread design where the grooves are deeper in the centre of the tread. These grooves get progressively shallower toward the edges, guiding water off the tyre to give you confidence inspiring grip, especially on corners. Technologies: FGD (Functional Groove Design): To fine tune the tread pattern of PZero Velo tyres, Pirelli drew from their motorsport technologies and inspiration from their Superbike Diablo Supercorsa tyre. This tread pattern does not only have an aesthetic function, it maximises performance in terms of water outflow, dry and wet grip, mileage. It also aids excellent tyre response as well as boosting both comfort and handling. SmartNET Silica: This is Pirelli’s patented cutting edge compound and excels in every performance area. With its unique formula, developed through years of leading experience in motorsports, SmartNET Silica provides cyclists with a truly uncompromising experience. It offers low rolling resistance, enhanced wet and dry grip, long mileage, high puncture resistance and a low weight. ICS (Ideal Contour Shaping): For the contour and construction of PZero tyres, Pirelli made use of ICS (Ideal Contour Shaping) technology to work on the shape of the tyre’s contour. The use of CAD software along with the subsequent analysis of the finite elements, helped to optimise the construction parameters and repeatedly simulate performance. This has resulted in PZero providing the best and most efficient footprint for cornering grip, stability, and a reactive response to riding straights, descents, or bends.
