Technologies

The hard way
  • ProTection technology gives tyres the perfect blend of smooth running, grip and puncture protection. This is made possible by an additional, all-round puncture protection layer that makes the entire tyre particularly resistant and insensitive to injuries. In spite of the additional layer, the tyre has a very good damping property and irones cleanly over the hardest trails. BlackChili provides the necessary smoothness and grip. Another feature of ProTection technology from Germany is the Tubeless Ready capability. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tyre. For optimum sealing and application results, we recommend the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant.
BlackChili
  • The unique tread compound, which can only be produced in Germany, revolutionizes the bicycle tyre!
  • BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% and provides about 30% more grip compared to activated silica compounds.
  • Our premium tyres with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and - in contrast to many multiple compounds - consistent driving characteristics from the first to the last kilometre.

Tyre values
PSI - indicates the pressure at which the manufacturer recommends inflating the tire. 1 atmosphere = 14,7 PSI
TPI (EPI)- tyre fiber density. The higher the TPI value, the more flexible the tire will be.
Kevlar tyre- made of kevlar fibers. The tyre can be folded, so it is more practical when moving or storing. It is characteristic of its lower weight compared to wired ones and higher puncture resistance
Wired tyre- made of wire. It can't be folded like the kevlar one, and it is heavier. Overview of tyre sizes and markings
