The crucial point of cycling. The gear properties of the rubber compound of a tire are determined to a large extent by three interacting factors: static friction [adherence], rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: if you improve one of these factors, at least another will worsen. A tire with maximum adherence is consumed faster and rolls more slowly. If you make the tire faster or more resistant, its adherence is reduced.
With Blackchili, a compound of the tread always based on the latest discoveries of the research on polymers and raw materials, Continental has provided the cycling scene with a lasting response. Depending on the area of use of a tire, they adapt the formulation of the compound specifically, both for racing bikes, for mountain bikes, for time tests or for the downhill.
for Blackchili, refine special synthetic tires with the tested natural rubber to create particularly performing mixes. To these mixtures are then added sooting particles, in turn optimized in terms of shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with blackchili compound are produced exclusively in Korbach.
compared to conventional silica compounds:
* greater kilometer yield [+ 5 %]
* Improvement of rolling resistance of 26 %, with a 30 %higher adherence
* Constant driving features from the first kilometer
Protection Technology TR Tubeless Ready
specially developed for the mountain bike sector, an additional integral protection layer against drilling makes our carcasses particularly resistant and insensitive to the damage and penetration of foreign bodies. We combined Protection and Blackchili Compound to get the maximum. The result: your tires are versatile, light and with an attractive design. In addition, tires with this technology can also be used tubeless.
