About Continental

The all black Grand Prix 4000S catches the eye with its big silver labels. Aggressive and posh alike it matches every high-end racebike perfectly. With the reduction to black and silver the GP4000S does not clash with frame colours or rim stickers. S stands for sport, special and “schwarz“ – the German term for black.

But the Grand Prix 4000 S can do more than just look good. With the new Black Chili Compound rolling resistance is reduced by 26%, grip is increased by 30% and mileage is increased by 5%. Whilst two small wear indicators in the tread ensure you know exactly when to replace with another pair.

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 Chlli is a new tread mixture, the result of the latest research from the Continental polymer and raw material laboratories in Hanover, Germany. Continental AG refined newly developed synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber with powerful profile blends. These are 'nano' sized soot particles, who's surface properties are optimized for use in bicycle tyres. These smaller particles enable the tyre tread to deform around surface objects more quickly, improving grip. They also form a tighter bond with each other thus improving compound strength for improved tread life and less chance for lugs to rip and tear on our MTB tyres. The way in which these particles interact with each other also lowers rolling resistance.

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.

Continental tyres are not only designed in the technological and development centre in Korbach, Germany, but are also mostly produced in Germany. As a global company, Continental also have hi-tech branches outside of Germany but the focus is naturally "Handmade in Germany".
 
New ideas such as the Top Contact and GP4000s with its puncture protection technology and the Black Chili compound are innovations that underline the handmade technological competence of the Continental Brand. Continental Produce a comprehensive range of tyres and tubes for all types of cycling.
