PolyX Breaker Technology With their PolyX Breaker, Continental bring PKW know-how to the bike tyre arena – Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswire making a very high fabric density which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX Breaker. 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 level 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. 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.
Tubeless Technology Friction between the tyre and tube is now a thing of the past. This crucially reduces the rolling resistance. It is even smaller than with super light competition tyres. With tubeless, you can ride with less air pressure without restrictions to performance! This brings noticeable advantages in comfort, but also significantly more control in critical situations and on poor routes. Tubeless systems provide very high puncture protection. Sudden air loss due to bursting tubes or valves tearing is ruled out. At the same time puncture protection fluid seals incisions within a tenth of a second, during the ride. E-Bike Ready 25 Tyres with this certification feature the best technologies for use with E-Bikes. They meet and excel past the ECE-R75 certification, meaning they are valid for use throughout Europe.

The advanced tread knob shaping creates extra grip around the edges of the tyre and offers enhanced stability when cornering at speed. The Aggressor tyre encourages you to take an aggressive racing line, ride fast and tackle corners with confidence at speed. The following Maxxis technologies feature on the Aggressor tyre and the appropriate version of this tyre should be selected depending on which compound and puncture protection suits your riding requirements: Tubeless Ready Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Maxxis TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. EXO Protection An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. Dual Compound Two compounds used within the tread of select tyres to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.
Panaracer's exclusive Multi-Step knobs have various heights designed into each knob These stepped knobs help tyres to perform in all conditions from hard to soft. Short big knobs are specially designed to provide an excellent ride that also delivers the lightest weight full knobby MTB tyres. The new ZSG Natural formula integrates more natural rubber into the compound. This compound has the same low rolling resistance as the premium compound and it has enhanced wear resistance making it perfect for a long wearing training tyre.
With a design inspired by MTB tyres developed with Julien Absalon, Black Mamba CX TT combines lightness and fast rolling. Its numerous exposed knobs guarantee exceptional performance. Its tread favours speed and rapid spurts. Its Race Riposte rubber side knobs inspired by Cobra guarantee good side grip.
25mm wide, bead to bead puncture resistant casing reinforcement and an extra millimetre of tread compound makes the Intensive a long wearing and comfortable tyre. Dual compounds make the Intensive a wet or dry weather performer.
The Ardent doesn't forget the racer with large block-style side knobs offering numerous edges for high-speed cornering. The center tread, while ideal for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider's needs.
