Black Chili - It's the mixture that counts

We have revolutionized the cycling scene with our unique tread compound, which is only made in Germany. Thanks to the legendary BlackChili Compound, we were able to provide a lasting answer to the eternal question of whether grip or rolling resistance. Regular test victories prove the benefits for drivers that can be measured and felt in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers as well as specially developed soot particles and fillers guarantee unique performance.

Active Comfort Technology
The revolutionary approach to racing cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding driving experience.

Laser grip
Lets you become one with the road. The lasered micro-profile structure focuses on the shoulder area of ​​the tire, offering you increased cornering grip.

Vectran - The reference in puncture protection

Vectran™ is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber based on natural sources. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran™ have enormous tear resistance at the lowest weight. Exactly the right properties to be used as a puncture protection insert in a top Continental tire. A Vectran™ breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects against cuts more effectively than comparable nylon breakers. The Vectran™ Breaker does not affect the rolling resistance.
