Continental Race King ProTection

Technologies: BlackChili Compound. The crucial question in cycling. The performance characteristics of a tire's rubber compound are primarily determined by three interacting factors - grip, rolling resistance, and durability. The dilemma: improving one of these factors inevitably worsens at least one other. A tire with maximum grip wears out faster and rolls slower. If the tire is made faster or more durable, its grip decreases in turn. With the BlackChili Compound, a tread mixture based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research, Continental has provided a lasting solution for the cycling community. Depending on the intended use of a tire, the mixture formulation is specifically tailored - whether for road bikes or mountain bikes, time trials or downhill.
