Vectran™ Anti-Puncture Technology - Setting the standard for puncture protection Vectran™ is a synthetically produced fiber inspired by nature. Like spider thread, Vectran™ is a liquid crystal polymer [LCP]. Vectran™ material is spun from melted Vectra liquid polymer and further processed to produce a special yarn. Like Vectran™, spider thread has tremendous tear strength and very low weight. These are ideal characteristics of the material we use in Continental's premium bicycle tires as a puncture protection liner. Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible, and more effective in protecting against cuts than comparable nylon braids. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect rolling resistance.

BlackChili Compound BlackChili is a unique rubber compound, produced only in Germany, that has revolutionized bicycle tires! Used in high-end tires, BlackChili Compound is a compromise between grip and rolling resistance. Numerous test wins prove the tangible benefits. The latest polymer compounds, microscopic carbon black particles and optimal fillers guarantee unique performance - from downhill tires to road tires! BlackChili Compound reduces rolling resistance by 26% and provides 30% better grip than silicate compounds. Tires with BlackChili also feature better mileage and, which is rare in tires with advanced compounds, their properties are consistent from the first to the last kilometer.

Actice Comfort Technology Embedded in the tire's construction, Aciv ComfortTechnology absorbs vibrations for a more comfortable ride.

Lazer Grip Specially shaped structure of the tire's side profile provides excellent grip during cornering.
