Black Chili is the name for Continental’s latest tyre compound which hit the market in 2007 and has fast become a hit with cyclists across the world who have marvelled at its performance benefits.

The fact is that Black Chili will improve our tyres performance in all areas. Continental can even make a tyre to last longer, yet also grip better and roll faster! The figures are astounding; 26% lower rolling resistance, 30% higher grip, and even 5% longer mileage.

Black Chili is only made at the Continetal factory in Korbach, Germany. No other tyre facility in the world has access to its secrets

The Grand Prix series from Continental is the benchmark for racing tyres. The construction of each model and materials used within each tyre are state of the art. The new Grand Prix 4000 continues the tradition of innovation. The Grand Prix 4000 is the first racing tyre to implement Vectran technology and is therefore lighter, yet tougher than its predecessor, the Grand Prix 3000

Key Features: 

• Has more cut resistance than aramid
• Is five times as strong as steel
• Keeps its strength in wet conditions
• Features less weight than all other puncture protection materials
• Saves 5g of weight and surpasses the flexibility of the Nylon double breaker, as previously used in GP3000 tyres.

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 cyclists.
