Key Features

• Active Comfort Technology: This innovative approach in cycling is integrated into the tire construction to absorb vibrations and provide a smoother ride.
• BlackChili: Our exclusive tread compound, made only in Germany, has transformed cycling. The renowned BlackChili Compound offers the perfect balance of grip and rolling resistance. Consistent test victories highlight its advantages for cyclists, both in labs and on the road. Advanced polymers and specially developed carbon black particles and fillers ensure exceptional performance.
• Lazer Grip: This feature connects you with the road. The laser-etched micro profile structure extends over the tire's shoulder, enhancing cornering capabilities.
• Vectran: A high-tech synthetic fiber inspired by nature, similar to spider silk. Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-strand thread. It offers high tear resistance at a low weight, making it ideal for premium Continental bicycle tires as a puncture protection insert. The Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible, and more effective against cuts than a nylon breaker, without affecting rolling resistance.
• 12% reduction in rolling resistance
• 20% increase in puncture protection
• 10g lighter (for the 700x25c tube-type size)
• Handmade in Germany
