tscheTechniksince1871Black Chili compound
The mix is what counts. The Black Chili
compound is only produced in Germany
and is the result of the latest laboratoryexperiments with polymers and raw
material producers.
Continental enriches the rubber with
soot particles that optimize to
nano-specifications, the form and
surface specifications to which a tyre
form can optimally function.
Compared to the previous develop-
ment leader, the Silica tyre, Black Chili
compound tyres have 26% less rolling
resistance, 30% more grip traction and
a 5% higher wear resistance.
Either with a racing bike or MTB
the speed and the performance is
definitely noticeable.

Set Grand Prix Attack and Force
Grand Prix 4000s
The hardcore racers!
Our Vectran and Black Chili technologies have been radi-
cally applied to this uncompromising race tyre set. The new
GP Attack benefits from its special version of our Black
Chili compound that gives the streamlined 22 mm front tyre
more grip with lower rolling resistance. The optimum front
wheel tyre gets you quickly into the turns, feeling light and
responsive whilst providing ample service life.
The new GP Force is a powerful rear wheel specialist and
with its 24 mm section combined with a fast Black Chilicompound, it gives excellent traction and road handling
thats second to none. Both tyres are made with Vectran
puncture protection and show wear and tear levels via
indicators in the tread, details that show professionals are
at work.
Fast, smart, special.The Grand Prix 4000s boasts global appeal as the best
all round race bike tyre on the market. Not only is it fast
and super grippy, thanks to its state of the art Black Chili
rubber compound, but it is also tough with a healthy tread
layer and of course our Vectran anti puncture breaker
layer underneath.

Grand Prix 4-Season
Grand Prix Triathlon
Technology from hell!
Thanks to its DuraSkin anti-tear fabric, the Grand Prix 4-Sea-
son holds up under extreme conditions. In the Paris Roubaix
race, the Hell of the North, cyclists equipped with DuraSkin
enhanced tyres have the fewest tyre related problems during
the race. Incorporating our special wear resistant carbon com-
pound, the tyre is characterized by very good mileage perform-
ance as well as excellent adhesion on wet roads and at low
temperatures. With the 23 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm versions, the
Grand Prix 4-Season makes it possible to select the right tyre
for various road qualities and comfort requirements. A doubleVectran breaker belt under the tread raises the puncture and
cut protection to the highest level available on the market.
Race tyres
What do German Conti tyres have in common with
Hawaiian leis? They both adorn the Ironman winner!
Its Vectran Breaker anti puncture belt withstands even
sharp-edged volcano ash. With a speedy slick tread pat-
tern and tightly woven carcass, it is optimized for consistent
top speeds. Indicators in the tread show the wear rate of
the tyre and it has all the capability characteristics of the
Grand Prix 4000 but is styled towards multisports athletes.
With our Black Chili compound also being a feature of this
tyre, the GP Triathlon sports all the latest tyre technology
from Korbach, Germany!

Tubular tyres
for the roadConservative road professional or high-tech athlete?
It is the most reliable of all the tyres in the professional
peloton and has proven itself time and time again on theworld race circuit, often accompanying prominent cyclists
on their way to victory. We are proud of our Competition.
Thats why we always try to keep him on the road to victory.
The Competition was the first tyre to feature Black Chili
compound Vectran anti-puncture breakers.
The Challenger.
The all new Grand Prix 4000 Tubular may be missing the
aura of the old champion, but the challenger is enticing
professional cyclists with its new technology. A seamless
casing design improves the rim seating, uniformity androlling resistance. The name, the dynamic tread design
of the Grand Prix 4000 and of course a Vectran puncture
protection breaker state the high ambitions of this new tyre.
Naturally, both competitors enter the race with the inno-
vative Black Chili tread mixture. What will you fit to your
carbon road wheels?

Tubular tyres
for the road
The tubular tyre for training.
Tubular tyres are used primarily in competitions because
of their excellent rolling characteristics and very good dryrunning properties. With the Giro, you can also rely on
these strengths in training. To ensure that this training tyre
is excellent value for money, we have the no-frills, robustly
manufactured Giro made to our specifications in Asia.
Podium
Giro
Time Trial onto the Podium.
A tyre for saving those crucial seconds: The Podium isdesigned as a pure competition tyre for the lonely battle
against the clock, and is used by professional race teams
for the solo time trials in ProTour events like the Tour de
France, Giro dItalia and others. Like the Sprinter, we
have also tuned the Podium with Black Chili compound.
To further reduce its rolling resistance we have reduced
the thickness of the tread, compared to last years model.
The Podium is wasted on the training wheels, reserve
them for race day and watch your time splits fall!

The name says it all!
As a manufacturer of high-end tubulars we havebundled our whole experience and reputation of tyres like
Competition and Co. into our latest Cyclocross tubulars.
If a tyre deserves the name all-rounder, it is the World
Cup! The World Cup is a cross tyre which feels comfortable
on almost every race track. The all-round profile and its light
carcass make the World Cup the first choice among our
professional riders. Whether high-speed winding passages
or sandy ramps, the World Cup breeds confidence for its
riders, taking them safely over the finish line. Available as a
32 mm tyre or 35 mm for fans of comfort over speed.
When every second counts !
Its diamond tread dovetails with the ground and still offers
minimum rolling resistance. Strong shoulder lugs guide the
rider gently through the curves and helps grind out a good
race result. Its 35 mm carcass is comfortable, and performs
well in the heavy stuff.

The home terrain of MTB tyres is utterly unpredictable quite
as unpredictable, in fact, as the bikers individual riding styles.
The very latest CAD is, of course, used to shape tread patterns
like the GravityArc and EndlessEdge, but it is out on open
trails around the world that we get the inspiration for these tyres
and later test them. To make sure no time is lost in implement-

Gravity 2.3
Slash 2.3
Vertical 2.3
That extra portion of grip:
The specialist for loose terrain and adverse weatherconditions. Our Slash is not the lightest or the most com-
fortable Freeride tyre, it is built for the intrepid Freerider who
pushes the limits further on every ride. Where gravel tracks
and tow paths are of no interest and the rider craves
challenging singletrack, the Slash is a serious tyre choice.
With an open, edgy tread, a new sticky tread mixture and
the reinforced casing options of Wire and ProTection,
it wants to be taken on the rough.
Biking pleasure on all trails.
Tyres of the width 2.3 are versatile. They can be used
on low mountain trails just as well as the Alpencross.
The round tyre cross-section typical for Continental and
the GravityArc tread lead to playful handling. The tyre can
be turned easily in curves and reliably sinks its claws into
loose surfaces. The Gravitys aggressive appearance does
not contradict its running smoothness an advantage that
is appreciated especially on asphalt stretches. Incidentally,
its the tyre selected by a certain Greg HB Herbold.
The modern classic.
The Vertical has everything a classic tyre needs. It is at
home on all trails, really showing what it can do when the

TopContact Reflex Handmade in Germany.
Any touring tyre has not been able to make that claim fora long time now. The TopContact picks up where Pneu-
matics, Super Corsas and Top Tourings left off. Just
like its predecessors, it is ahead of its time thanks to new
materials and design features. State-of-the-art polymers,
VectranTM puncture protection material, and the prevailing
German production quality set the TopContact Reflex
apart from all the others.
Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem
Guarantee!
TopContact Winter Reflex For the northern winter.The TopContact Winter comes with a very adhesive
temperature-resistant winter tyre mixture. Microspikes are
built into the tread profile. They are made from raw, sharp
edged silicon carbide granulate and give the tyre tight grip
even on frozen surfaces. Compared to metal-spike tyres,
the TopContact Winter is just as easy to control on a dry
surface as a summer tyre.

The chic and sporty city speedster.
If you dont dream of using the car as a means of transpor-tation in the rush hour, then the CityContact Reflex is just
what youre looking for. Thanks to its slick tread, a lot of
rubber comes into contact with the road surface on hard
asphalt. Despite the enormous grip, the rolling resistance
is minimal. Fit your bike with the 54-mm-version, and this
wide tyre will give you a totally new ride experience. Irregu-
larities in the road are dampened, so your back and wrists
are treated gently.
Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem

The SportContact turns any bike into a racer. The 26
version helps the bike messenger meet those deadlines
while the 700C tyre gets the fitness biker into a speed frenzy.
All this added speed for your bike with zero detriment to
puncture protection and reliability! Extremely fine and strong
carcass plies, SafetySystem puncture protection and
reflector strips are all integral features of the Contact
tyre family.

Touring Plus Reflex
TourRIDE
Dont be afraid of the puncture devil!
A compact, highly elastic rubber breaker makes theTouring Plus extremely resistant. Stones, glass splinters and
thorns have no chance. Whatever you ride over cant break
or pierce the Security Breaker layer underneath the tread.
The layer strength of the Breaker is adapted to the rolling
movement of the tyre. The Touring Plus Reflex remains very
comfortable in spite of its protective coating and rolls and
steers very lightly.
Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem
Guarantee!
Versatile, safe and durable.
The TourRIDE offers everything a real all-round tyre needs.
A tread for every intended surface, the obligatory
breakdown protection belt and a high mileage compound
ensure the TourRIDE is a trustworthy option for many
carefree miles.

etail Casings and Tpi
Casing construction and specifications
for Continental tyres
We mainly use nylon fabric to build up our bicycle tyre casings. This
material has an extremely high tensile strength, and can withstand theeffects of weather during biking, and can also be processed easily in
combination with rubber. Continental uses the four quality grades
22 tpi, 28 tpi, 60 tpi and 110 tpi.
Tpi is the number of fabric threads per inch or per 2.54 cm.
The finer the fabric, the more flexible and puncture-proof the tyre will
be. The coarser the fabric, the more rigid and cut-resistant the tyre.
So the right choice of fabric depends on the intended application.
We add anti-puncture reinforcement to the basic three-ply casing.
This may be in the form of a single-ply or two-ply Nylon Breaker.
It may be additionally reinforced with Kevlar or be made from
rubber. In our Grand Prix 4000 and Competition high-performance
tyres we now incorporate a breaker made from Vectran, a liquid
crystal fibre with ultra-high resistance to cuts and punctures.
To enable you to understand the tyres construction, our tyre speci-
fications indicate the number of plies in the basic casing, the total
number of fabric threads in the three plies of the basic casing and the
type of puncture protection:

Compound technology
The tread compound is the starting point of any tyre. It makes the
difference between a good and bad tyre. The secret formulas hold the
key to why one tyre performs better than the next and why one tyre
grips the surface securely whilst another spins off out of control.
It is no secret what the basic materials are, but the art, just as with a
fine wine, lies in how the manufacturer combines the extras.
Elastomers: natural and synthetic rubber determine the basic
properties of the compound. Rubber is the main component of the
compound. The rubber determines the grip, the rolling resistanceand the wear of the tread.
Fillers or reinforcers: this is where carbon blacks and silicates are
used. They determine the hardness and the elasticity of the rubber.
Sulphur: during vulcanisation, the sulphur cross-links with the
polymer chains of the rubber and transforms the plastic raw
compound into elastic rubber.
Oils, waxes and dyes: they improve the processing and give the
tyres their colour.
Antioxidants: they protect the compound against environmental
influences, e. g. ozone, UV.

The ultimate speed experience
Supersonic guarantees the ultimate speed experience. The Super-
Sonic product line for racing bikes and mountain bikes are the ultimate
speed weapon faster in the race, in time trials or marathons. Each
Supersonic product is optimized because of extremely low weight and
reduced rolling friction. All elements of the Supersonic tyres and tubes
are limited to the absolutely technically necessary. This refers to the
thickness of the tyre casing and the thickness of the tread compounds
and the wall thickness of the tubes.
We only use the finest materials: high-quality nylon for the casing,
the latest Black chili rubber compound technology and sophisticated
profile designs for the various operating conditions. To be uncompro-
mising in weight and rolling resistance also means cuts in other tyre
properties. The performance and the breakdown protection of Super-
sonic tyres are not comparable with those of our best all-round tyres.
Our engineers and chemists have provided technical excellence,
with the SuperSonic products to be top notch in the racing and tuning.
With a similar capacity for innovation, we offer the amateur athletes
alternatives to the whole range of advantages from our high-quality
racing tyres.

Teamwork.
German technology since 1871
Over 100 years of experience in the
manufacturing of bicycle tyres has
made Continental into a unique,
outstanding company.
This uniqueness shows in the range of
Continental products for bike riders.
Continental tyres are not only designed
in the technological and development
center of the two-wheel division in
Hessian Korbach, but also mostly pro-
duced in Germany. As a global company,
we also have hi-tech branches outside
of Germany but our focus is naturally
Handmade in Germany.
Thats why Continental is the only
bicycle tyre manufacturer in Germany.

This is the spirit that motivates our
engineers and everyone involved in
the production to create new ideas such
as the Grand Prix Attack and Force
and GP 4000s with its puncture
protection technology and also our
Black Chili compound.
Innovations that underline the handmade
technological competence of our factory
in Korbach.
