Technical Specification

Technologies used

In this chapter, we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

Protection
ProTection technology gives tires the perfect blend of low rolling resistance, grip, and puncture protection. This is made possible by an additional, circumferential puncture protection layer that makes the entire tire exceptionally durable and resistant to damage. Despite the extra layer, the tire retains excellent damping properties and smooths out even the roughest trails. BlackChili compound ensures the necessary low rolling resistance and grip. Another feature of the German-made ProTection technology is its tubeless-ready compatibility. The revolutionary tubeless-ready bead allows for easy and straightforward tire mounting. For optimal sealing and performance, we recommend using the new Continental RevoSealant sealant.

BlackChili - it's all about the mix
With Continental's unique tread compound, manufactured exclusively in Germany, they revolutionized the cycling scene. Thanks to the legendary BlackChili Compound, Continental was able to definitively answer the age-old question of grip versus rolling resistance.
Regular test wins demonstrate the measurable and noticeable benefits for drivers, both in the lab and on the road. State-of-the-art polymers, along with specially developed carbon black particles and fillers, guarantee unparalleled performance.
