    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.

    Race tyres

    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!

    achieved with the Olympic in World Cups and Olympic

    Games. This is the absolute top product from our tubular

    tyre range, manufactured in Korbach. Every structural

    element is chosen carefully and mounted by hand

    where a tenth of a second decides races, precision and

    perfection are requested. The Olympic is suitable for all

    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.

    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.

    Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem

    Guarantee!

    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

    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.

    De

    utscheTechnik

    since1871

    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.
