Designed without compromise for use in mountain bike racing: The RaceSport casings combine consistent lightweight construction and noticeably better puncture protection at the highest level. Together with well-known professional mountain bikers, we have created the perfect starting point for competition tires. Handcrafted in Germany, they offer World Cup level rolling resistance and puncture protection. The structure makes the difference: a particularly fine and flexible nylon fabric, elaborately manufactured, protective rubber coating and a universal base. Together with the legendary BlackChili Compound, this is the ultimate combination for XC and marathon racing.
CHILI COMPOUND
In the laboratories of the research and development department for Continental bicycle tires in Korbach, Hesse, employees and engineers have been looking for a solution to one of the basic problems in tire construction for a long time: The running properties of the rubber mixture of a tire are largely determined by three interacting factors: static friction (grip), Rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: If you improve one of these factors, at least one other factor will deteriorate. A tire with maximum grip wears faster and rolls slower. If you make the tire faster or more durable, its grip is reduced. With the previous cutting-edge technology, the activated silica tires, a good compromise had already been reached.
