Technologies

VECTRAN BREAKER – Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre based on a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). It is spun from melted liquid Vectra polymer and further processed into a multi-strand thread. Like spider silk, Vectran has very high tear resistance at a low weight. These properties make it suitable for use as a puncture-protection insert in premium Continental bicycle tires. Vectran Breaker is lighter and more flexible, and provides more effective cut protection than a comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect rolling resistance.

BLACKCHILI – Continental’s unique tread compound is produced only in Germany. BlackChili Compound helps achieve a good balance between grip and rolling resistance. Consistent test results confirm its measurable and noticeable benefits for cyclists, established both in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers, specially developed carbon black particles and fillers ensure unique performance.

LAZER GRIP – The laser-formed micro-profile structure extends over the tire’s shoulder and provides good cornering grip.
