Tire Continental Grand Prix 30-622 Folding 28"

Founded in Germany, CONTINENTAL has manufactured bicycle tires and inner tubes for more than a hundred years. The company uses various patented technologies, including ProTection, Black Chilli, RaceSport, Vectran, PolyX, PureGrip Apex and Duraskin. Depending on the model, tires can offer puncture resistance, be designed for road riding or provide grip off-road. The range includes tires and inner tubes with different tread patterns, valve types, sizes and purposes for children’s, BMX, road, city and mountain bikes, as well as specialized tires for e-bikes and winter use.

The Continental Grand Prix tire is designed for training, commuting and long-distance rides. It uses technologies and design insights from the Grand Prix 5000 family, BlackChili compound and a 3-ply construction that provides good puncture protection and rolling resistance.

Technologies

BLACKCHILI COMPOUND – this tread compound has changed the approach to bicycle tire production. The BlackChili compound is designed to balance grip and low rolling resistance. It uses the latest polymers, specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials. The compound is used in road, gravel and mountain bike tires for time trialling and downhill riding.

3-PLY CONSTRUCTION – provides good puncture protection and rolling resistance.
