TECHNOLOGY

BlackChili Compound: It’s all about how you mix it The crucial balance. The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tire are primarily determined by three interacting factors: stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity]. The dilemma: If you improve any one of these factors, it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tire with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tire roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced. With Continental BlackChili Compound, a tread compound that is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, we have supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tire, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing. How does that work? For BlackChili, we refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures we then add soot particles, which in turn are optimized in shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound are produced exclusively in Continental plant in Korbach, Germany

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.

Suitable for E-Bikes - For Continental E-Bike tyre we fall back on over 100 years’ experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of Continental city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Those tires marked e50-are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high quality structure, puncture protection is high and the rolling resistance is low offering protection from premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.

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.
