The new era in road cycling
The best all-rounder in the field on a completely new performance level. Ride faster, more comfortable and even more puncture-proof. Made to make you better.

Black Chili
They revolutionised the cycling scene with their unique tread compound made only in Germany. With the legendary BlackChili compound, they were able to answer the eternal question of grip or rolling resistance with lasting effect.
Regular test victories prove the measurable and noticeable advantages for riders 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 in road cycling. Integrated into the tyre construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and provides a superior riding experience.

LazerGrip
Lets you become one with the road. The laser-cut micro-tread structure focuses on the shoulder area of the tyre and thus offers you increased cornering grip.

Vectran
Vectran is a synthetically produced high-tech fibre with a natural look. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fibre yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran have an enormous tensile strength at lowest weight. Exactly the right properties to be processed in a Continental top tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than comparable nylon breakers. The Vectran Breaker does not affect the rolling resistance.
