Conti Lazer Grip tread pattern:

With the Lazer Grip tread pattern, Conti takes grip to a whole new level. A laser is used to create a microstructure in the shoulder area of the tyre, which improves cornering grip. In addition, the dark sections look particularly stylish thanks to their velvety surface and offer optimum grip in every situation.

Conti Tubeless System:

The user-friendly tubeless system. Continental’s tubeless technology is specially designed to adapt tubeless systems to the demands of road cycling. Easy to fit and reliable in use. Tubeless bead. Specially developed, the tubeless bead provides exceptional sealing thanks to its shape and ensures a stable hold on the rim. We recommend using a suitable TL sealant

Conti Black Chili Compound:

This unique tread compound, manufactured exclusively in Germany, is revolutionising the bicycle tyre! The conflict between grip and rolling resistance has been resolved with Black Chili Compound to a level previously unmatched in the bicycle tyre sector. Countless test victories demonstrate the measurable and noticeable advantage in both laboratory and real-world conditions. The latest polymers, carbon black particles and fillers optimised down to the nanoscale guarantee unique performance. Black Chili Compound improves mileage by 5 per cent, rolling resistance by 12 per cent and puncture protection by 20 per cent.

Conti Active Comfort tyre construction:

Conti Vectran Breaker:

The Vectran Breaker now also protects the sidewalls. The patented Vectran Breaker resolves the conflict between low weight, low rolling resistance and maximum puncture and cut protection in a fascinating way. The liquid crystal fibre Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries. It is extremely tear- and cut-resistant, flexible and, unlike aramid, retains these properties even under sustained stress.
