Continental Kryptotal-RE Downhill is a rolling tire, specially designed for the rear wheel of a bicycle, dedicated to riding on varied terrain and different conditions. Thanks to its SuperSoft compound, the tire offers the strongest grip in the Gravity segment. The six-ply construction with a density of 110 threads per inch (TPI) guarantees excellent puncture protection and maximum stability, benefiting from Tubeless Ready technology and Apex reinforcement.

With specially designed profiles, the Kryptotal FR and Kryptotal RE provide the best performance during specific front and rear wheel maneuvers, creating the optimal combination for challenging terrain.

COMPOUND | BLACK CHILI

A tire's handling characteristics are mainly determined by three key factors: grip, rolling resistance and longevity. There is a dilemma, however, because improving one of these aspects can negatively affect the others. A tire with exceptional grip may wear out faster and have poorer handling characteristics. On the other hand, trying to improve a tire's performance in terms of rolling resistance and durability can result in reduced grip.

With the Black Chili compound, which is always based on the latest polymer and raw material research, a durable solution is provided to the bicycle industry. Depending on the intended use of the tire, the compound formulation is tailored to the specific discipline - be it road racing, mountain biking, time trial racing or downhill. In the case of Black Chili, special synthetic rubbers are perfected - adding proven natural rubber to create high-performance tread compounds. In addition, carbon black particles are added to these compounds, which are optimized for shape and surface properties.

TECHNOLOGY | CONTINENTAL TUBELESS

Continental Tubeless is a technology used in bicycle tires that allows tubeless riding. Tires equipped with this technology are designed specifically for tubeless use, which has many advantages, such as reduced risk of punctures, the ability to ride with lower tire pressure for better grip, and reduced rolling resistance, which can help improve riding performance. In the case of Continental Tubeless tires, mounting and sealing are typically facilitated by the innovative alloys and tire design, making them tubeless-ready. It is worth mentioning that Continental Tubeless technology can be used on mountain bikes, road bikes and other types of bicycles, making riding more versatile and comfortable.


TECHNOLOGY | ECO

Continental ECO technology takes advantage of more than 100 years of experience in producing tires for mopeds and motorcycles. Optimized and recommended for use on electric bicycles with speeds of up to 25 km/h, they guarantee low rolling resistance and effective protection against punctures thanks to an extremely durable construction. Durability has been specifically tested for electric bicycles to prevent premature wear resulting from the additional load on the drive.

TECHNOLOGY | APEX

Continental Apex Technology is an advanced bicycle tire construction designed to increase durability and protection. Tires with Apex technology have additional reinforcements around the rim to increase resistance to mechanical damage such as punctures and dings. This technology also offers rim protection from damage and enhances tire stability for better bike control, especially in difficult off-road conditions. Tires with Apex technology are more durable and resistant to damage, which is important for riders who expect long-lasting solutions. In addition, Apex technology provides better protection against punctures, which increases riding comfort and safety. Many tires with Apex technology are also prepared for tubeless use, making it easy to convert to a tubeless system. It's an advanced solution that allows you to enjoy better tire performance in difficult driving conditions.

CONTINENTAL | Downhill Tire Construction

There are 6 layers of construction material under the tread for high strength and puncture protection. Four of these layers are used to increase the tire's flexibility and adaptability.
