Specialist for loose substrates
Twisted, linearly arranged shoulder lugs with a support structure provide high stability, even when aggressively riding tight, fast corners. These enable high mechanical grip, especially on loose surfaces.
Open tread design for perfect interaction on loose surfaces. For good self-cleaning in damp and wet conditions.
The pronounced center lugs feature steep slopes to generate mechanical grip through the interaction between the tread pattern and the surface. This provides reliable grip on loose and mixed surfaces.
Technologies used
In this chapter, we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.
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.
Soft mix
A balanced ratio between grip and rolling resistance for downhill-oriented applications.
An option to optimize the running characteristics of your rear wheel on a downhill bike or as an optimal combination for enduro or trail riding.
E25 - E-bike compatible
For e-bike tires, Continental draws on over 100 years of experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All city/trekking tires meet at least the standard for speeds up to 25 km/h. Tires marked E50 are also approved for S-Pedelecs. Their high-quality construction provides excellent puncture protection, low rolling resistance, and protection against premature wear caused by the additional drive power.
