Aligned shoulder knobs with a supporting structure for high stability, even when cornering.
Benefits: high mechanical grip, especially on loose terrain.

Open tread pattern for perfect interaction with loose surfaces
Benefits: good self-cleaning in damp and wet conditions

The pronounced knobs have steep ramps to generate mechanical grip through the interaction between the tread pattern and the ground.
Benefits: optimum grip on loose and mixed surfaces.

Technology

BlackChili
The BlackChili compound is produced exclusively at the Continental factory in Korbach, Germany, and combines the latest polymers with specially developed carbon black particles and fillers. Both cars and bicycles benefit from this technology. Fitted to a bicycle, tyres with BlackChili offer riders excellent reliability, whether racing downhill on a mountain bike or competing in time trials on a road bike.

Apex
Used successfully for years in car tyres, its transition to bicycle tyres was only a matter of time. A natural rubber profile inserted between the casing layers at the base of the tyre stiffens the sidewalls, minimising tyre twisting caused by high lateral loads. Stiffer sidewalls, in turn, reduce the risk of punctures and prevent the tyre from slipping off the rim. At low pressure, grip improves without making cornering too sluggish. The risk of punctures is significantly reduced.

Technical specifications

Founded in Hanover in 1871, Continental is still based in the German city today. For cyclists, it makes tires and inner tubes for road, gravel, mountain biking and urban riding. Its connection with bicycles goes back to its early days: in 1892, it became the first German company to produce pneumatic bicycle tires.
