Continental Sprinter

The Continental Sprinter is an efficient competition tire that showcases its strengths in criterium and triathlon events. It features a neutral slick profile for direct handling and super-fast acceleration. The SafetySystem anti-puncture protection belt safeguards the tire against flats, while the BlackChili compound provides excellent grip, high mileage, and efficient rolling. This revolutionary tread compound is based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research. For BlackChili, Continental refines newly developed synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to create particularly high-performance tread mixtures. Continental employs nano-sized carbon black particles that are optimized in shape and surface properties to tailor the compound to the specific application of the tire. Tires with BlackChili compound achieve an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to activated silica tires, BlackChili tires have a 26% lower rolling resistance, a 30% higher grip value, and a 5% higher mileage. The SafetySystem breaker is made from Kevlar-reinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant yet lightweight and flexible, it allows the tire to better adapt to the surface. Without noticeably increasing weight or rolling resistance, it protects the casing from foreign objects and contributes to the tire's long lifespan. Additionally, tires with the SafetySystem breaker offer particularly comfortable riding characteristics.
