This versatile road bike tyre features the renowned Black Chili compound, which combines the best properties of grip, speed and durability in one compound. It has been created by Continental technicians and continually developed by professional athletes, so riders can benefit from a dependable performance as they clock up the miles on the road. Also embedded in this model's tyre construction is Active Comfort technology, which absorbs vibrations and smoothens out your ride. This means the tyre can deform more efficiently which also improves grip, puncture protection and speed.
Coming equipped with Vectran puncture protection, this high-quality tyre features an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight. Its Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker also does not adversely affect the rolling resistance. Continental has also kitted out this road-ready model with Lazer Grip technology, which uses a lasered micro profile structure to expand over the tyres shoulder and deliver outstanding cornering grip. This makes it a great choice of upgrade for road riders who want to ride faster, more comfortable and with increased puncture protection, wherever the next ride takes them.
