Key Features

• Active Comfort Technology: A revolutionary approach in cycling, this technology is embedded in the tire construction to absorb vibrations and smoothen your ride.
• BlackChili: Our unique tread compound, produced only in Germany, has revolutionized cycling. The BlackChili Compound offers the best balance of grip and rolling resistance. Regular test wins confirm its measurable and noticeable advantages for cyclists, both in the lab and on the road. The latest polymers, along with specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials, guarantee unique performance.
• Lazer Grip: Designed to make you one with the road, the lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder, providing outstanding cornering.
• Vectran: A synthetically manufactured high-tech fiber inspired by spider silk. Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-strand thread. It offers enormous tear resistance at a very low weight, making it ideal for use as a puncture protection insert in premium Continental bicycle tires. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible, and protects more effectively against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker, without adversely affecting rolling resistance.
• 12% less rolling resistance
• 20% boost in puncture protection
• 10g lighter (for the 700x25c tube-type size)
• Hand made in Germany
