TECHNOLOGY

BlackChili Compound - it’s all about how you mix it crucial balance. The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tyre are primarily determined by three interacting factors – stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity] . The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tyre with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tyre roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced.

The ProTection technology - gives Continental tires their perfect mix of fast rolling, grip and puncture protection. Four plies under the tread and three in the sidewalls make this possible. The whole tire attains greater resilience and becomes less vulnerable to damage.

RaceSport - Designed without compromise for use in mountain bike racing: The RaceSport casings combine consistent lightweight construction and noticeable superior puncture protection at the highest level. In cooperation with renowned professional mountain bikers we have created the perfect basis for competition tyres. Handmade in Germany, they offer rolling friction and puncture protection of World Cup quality. The structure makes the difference: a particularly fine and flexible nylon fabric with elaborately manufactured protecting rubber lining and universal base. Together with the legendary BlackChili Compound, this is the ultimate combination for XC and Marathon Race.

Tubeless Ready - TUBELESS READY? NO PROBLEM! Tubeless Ready tires can be used with or without tubes because the tire and rim are designed to seal directly to each other. Specially designed for the mountain bike sector, an additional all-round puncture protection layer makes Continental carcasses particularly resistant and insensitive to damage and the penetration of foreign bodies. For maximum effect, we combine ProTection with BlackChili Compound. The result: Versatile, lightweight and attractive tires. All tires with this technology can all be run Tubeless Ready. We recommend Continental Tubeless Ready for all MTB tires with ProTection, ProTection Apex and ShieldWall Technology
