Tech:

Premium

The Continental Premium tires were made to get maximum performance. They have the latest technologies, which were developed together with the most successful athletes in the world. They are handcrafted by the experienced specialists in Korbach (Germany). In addition, there are exquisite materials for the highest quality and outstanding properties.

Black Chili Compound

The running properties of a tire's rubber compound are largely determined by three interacting factors: static friction (grip), rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: If you improve one of these factors, at least one other factor deteriorates in return. BlackChili Compound is the name of Continental's revolutionary tread compound, which is based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research. For BlackChili, Continental refines newly developed synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to create particularly high-performance profile compounds. Conti adds soot particles in the nano range to these rubbers, the shape and surface properties of which are optimized in order to tailor the mixture to the respective purpose of the tire. Tires with BlackChili Compound achieve an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the activated silica tires, BlackChili tires have a 26% lower rolling resistance, a 30% higher static friction value (grip) and a 5% higher mileage. It doesn't matter whether you're on a racing bike or MTB - the advantage in speed and grip is clearly noticeable! The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound are only produced at Continental in Korbach.

PolyX Breaker®

Cut and stab-proof. With the PolyX Breaker™, car know-how comes into the bicycle tire segment. Polyester has been used successfully in car tires for years and has proven itself many times over. The extremely hard-wearing polyester fiber is woven in a cross-mesh pattern. This achieves a very high fabric density, which not only makes the breaker resistant to foreign bodies, but also particularly resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is completely unimpressed by this breaker.

TWI wear indicator

If the state of wear can still be easily identified with a raised profile, tires without profile in particular usually do not offer any usable indication for the timely replacement. That's why Continental began introducing wear indicators for treadless racing bike tires for the first time in 2004 at the Grand Prix 4000. The TWIs (Tread Wear Indicators) can now be found on almost every Continental road bike tire. If the two small, circular indentations in the middle of the tread are no longer visible, it is time for a replacement. An important aspect for your safety.

In the road bike segment: two circular indentations in the middle of the tread. If these are no longer recognizable, it is time for a tire change.
