Technologies used
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.
BlackChili-Compound - it's all in the mix
With Continental's unique tread compound, only made in Germany, they have revolutionized the cycling scene. With the legendary BlackChili Compound, Continental was able to answer the eternal question of grip or rolling resistance in the long term. Regular test victories prove the measurable and noticeable advantages for drivers in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers and specially developed carbon black particles and fillers guarantee unique performance.
Active Comfort Technology
The revolutionary approach to road cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, the Active Comfort technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding driving experience.
Laser grip
Lets you become one with the street. The lasered micro profile structure focuses on the shoulder area of the tire and offers you increased cornering grip.
Vectran Breaker - the reference in puncture protection
Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fiber based on a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multifilament yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran™ have an enormous tear resistance with the lowest weight. Exactly the right properties to be processed as a puncture protection insert in a Continental top tire. A Vectran™ breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than comparable nylon breaker. The Vectran™ Breaker does not affect the rolling resistance.
