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 the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-strand thread. Like spider silk, Vectran has very high tear resistance at a very low weight. These properties make it suitable for use as a puncture-protection insert in premium Continental bicycle tires. Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and more effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect rolling resistance.

BlackChili

Continental's unique tread compound is produced only in Germany. The BlackChili compound addresses the balance between grip and rolling resistance. Its measurable and noticeable advantages, established in the laboratory and on the road, are confirmed by test results. The latest polymers, specially developed carbon-black particles and fillers deliver its distinctive performance.

Lazer Grip

The Lazer Grip micro-profile extends across the tire's shoulder and provides excellent cornering grip.
