Technologies

BlackChili Compound
The unique tyre compound, produced only in Germany, that will revolutionise bicycle tyres! BlackChili Compound takes the balance between greater grip and rolling resistance to its highest level ever. Numerous first places in tests confirm the benefits that can be measured and recorded in the laboratory and on the road. Next-generation polymers, carbon particles developed using nanotechnology and fillers ensure truly unique performance. From the MTB downhill tyre to the time trial bike tyre, the ultimate in each field of use! BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% while offering approximately 30% more grip than activated silica compounds. Tyres made with BlackChili Compound also offer greater mileage and, unlike multiple compounds, consistent performance from the first to the last kilometre.

ProTection Revo Tubeless Ready
Better than before. The new Continental ProTection casing. The additional puncture protection layer offers greater durability and increased resistance to cuts and damage from external objects. The tread and sidewalls are equally protected and are 25% lighter and 30% better protected than the previous DuraSkin®. Rolling resistance and bump absorption have also been optimised. The new "made in Germany" technology lets you tackle the world's most extreme trails. There is more: they can be used at 360°, use BlackChili compound and have a design that makes them reliable and safe for any MTB race. Handmade in Germany, these tyres are the perfect foundation for competition, offering World Cup-worthy protection and performance. The new revo Tubeless ready technology further improves tubeless tyres.

RTR - Revolution Tubeless Ready
Tubeless Ready tyres can be used with an inner tube or without one by using sealant.
The revolutionary flexible Tubeless Ready bead allows quick and easy tyre fitting without an inner tube.
All Continental tyres in ProTection and Performance versions feature Tubeless Ready technology (RTR). For an optimal tyre seal, Continental RevoSealant puncture sealant is recommended.

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.
