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.

Designed for all roads, this tyre gives you world-class fast rolling and cornering as well as maximum control as you clock up the miles. Technologies: Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): Our Handmade Clinchers are made from the same materials and processes as our handmade tubulars but instead of sewing an inner tube inside the casing is wrapped around an aramid bead to form a tire that fits on a clincher rim. The HCL is moulded flat, not in a horseshoe like a TLR or VCL. This shape allows the casing to naturally deform over surface imperfections and minimize rolling resistance. A tubeless tire is moulded in a U-shape to make the sidewalls rigid, so the system does not “burp” or lose air when it deforms after it encounters a surface imperfection. The tubeless tire’s stiff sidewall compromises its ability to equal a supple HCL with a latex inner tube.
This mountain bike (MTB) tyre is specifically engineered for conquering your way across hardpack and dry terrain conditions. It features an Endurance compound with balance properties on grip and endurance. With the Endurance compound a high durability in combination with good rolling resistance and grip is achieved. This makes it a compound choice for trail riding or as an endurance-focused compound for electric mountain bike (E-MTBs). Coming equipped with angled in-line shoulder studs for predictable and indulgent transitions, a high limit range can be reached predictably and safely. Continental has also added a pronounced positive profile with a large number of contact areas, so you can benefit from harmonious riding behaviour and high grip on hard and slightly loose surfaces. In addition, its pronounced ramps in the direction of rotation ensure harmonious and easy rolling, allowing for low rolling resistance and improved grip on hard surfaces. MTB Tyre with Trail Casing This MTB tyre comes kitted out with a Trail Casing, which offers comparable performance to the Enduro Casing and is tailored for trail use cases and it includes a PT layer. Another highlight is its tubeless ready technology, which allows you to benefit from tubeless advantages such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased comfort, stability and fewer risks of flats or punctures.

TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology 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. Their 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. 3C Maxx Terra An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip.
Sporting 20% bigger blocks (compared to other enduro/am profiles) and a thick tread compound, this tyre offers plenty of aggressive power and steering advantages to help your bike conquer the mountain. Technologies: 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, a puncture protection fluid seals incisions within a tenth of a second, during the ride. TubelessEasy: The Monofile SnakeSkin fabric on the side wall makes the tubeless conversion for the MTB extremely easy and safe. It also provides the best cut protection on the side wall. ADDIX Soft: Perfectly suited to All Mountain and Trail riding in the Enduro and Downhill world of the sport. It has impressively good rolling characteristics and at the same time outstanding damping, both of which are also evident at low temperatures. It’s also ideal for e-MTBs. Super Gravity: The Super Gravity carcass construction comprises of a Quadruple Ply carcass what makes the tyre sidewall stable and safe. The tread remains extremely flexible and grippy with two carcass plies. It also has all around SnakeSkin protection for excellent resistance against cuts and slices.
