The mix is what counts. The Black Chili compound is only produced in Germany and is the result of the latest laboratory experiments 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 development 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.

Black Chili compound
VectranTM’s advantage VectranTM is a thermoplastic multi-fiber yarn that is made from melted VectraTM fluid-crystal-polymer, which we use in the casing of our top line tyres as puncture protection material. VectranTM is more cut-resistant than Aramid, five times stronger than steel and also lighter than a Nylon Double Breaker. It loses no grip when it’s wet.

Race tyres Set Grand Prix Attack and Force
The hardcore racers! Our Vectran and Black Chili technologies have been radically 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 Chili compound, it gives excellent traction and road handling that’s 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.
Grand Prix 4000s
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. So for reliability, longevity and all out performance for your race machine, the GP 4000s is the only choice.
Grand Prix 4000
The star in the peloton! For the coloured GP 4000 tyres, the activated silica compound improves the handling at stability limits and gives great rolling resistance. The anti-tear formula in the rubber compound prevents tread brittleness while increasing mileage performance. Xirallic colours give your machine a look of stylish elegance. The extra special thing about the GP 4000 and GP 4000s is their puncture protection made from Vectran™ liquid crystal fibres.
* The patented Vectran™ Breaker reconciles the conflicting goals of low weight, low rolling resistance and top puncture and cut resistance in a fascinating manner. The Vectran™ fluid crystal fibres were developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries. The material is extremely tear and cut resistant and is also flexible. It retains these properties even under constant stress – as opposed to Aramid.

Race tyres Grand Prix 4-Season
Technology from hell! Thanks to its DuraSkin™ anti-tear fabric, the Grand Prix 4-Season 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 compound, the tyre is characterized by very good mileage performance 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 double Vectran breaker belt under the tread raises the puncture and cut protection to the highest level available on the market.
Grand Prix Triathlon
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 pattern 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!
Grand Prix Supersonic
Faster than the speed of sound! With the Grand Prix Supersonic your contact with the road can be tuned to minimum weight and minimum rolling resistance. Together with a “Race 28 Supersonic” inner tube, our quickest tyre weighs only 210 g! The slick rolling area made out of a carbon black mixture looks cool and is of course made using our Black Chili recipie. But be cautious! The Grand Prix Supersonic is a very apt weapon in fighting for a personal best time, although for this extra speed, the tyre does not feature any additional puncture protection and has limited mileage use. With this in mind, the Grand Prix Supersonic is not a tyre for training!
Grand Prix
The legend lives! The name Continental Grand Prix has become a brand in its own right in cycling circles. The Grand Prix is THE classic tyre and a sign to quality and performance, a claim which appears again in the new Grand Prix. Like its predecessor, the new generation is eager to set own standards. The new Grand Prix leads the trend towards wide tyres in cycling. Wider tyres roll easier, have a higher mileage and offer more comfort and grip. The main size of the Grand Prix is 24 mm. Wide enough to show off the advantages of wider tyres, but still light and slim enough to be built into any racing machine.

Race tyres Ultra GatorSkin
The long distance runner. A durable carbon black mixture, a well regarded puncture protection system and the DuraSkin™-anti-cut fabric turn the Ultra GatorSkin into a real long distance runner. In varying widths from 23 mm to 32 mm it can be used on the way to work as well as training for road races or for sportives and audax. A durable, tough tyre at a really nice price. A modern tread design that collects less debris and the expansion of the product line to the new dimension 28-559 for fast MTB street riding.
Ultra Race
Nimble and quick for the ambitious road rider. The end of the training ride leads through beautiful landscapes – a pleasure. Getting ahead of your training partner by sprinting for place-name signs – a must! The Ultra Race supports your ambitions. The race orientated tread and the quick and comfortable 60 tpi casing plus puncture protection emphasizes your technical demands.
Ultra Sport
Work out like the pros. The new dynamically patterned tread, which can be matched to the bike’s frame thanks to four colour options, improves the value of any racing bike. Ultra Sport tyres make a stunning impact on every training ride and is ideal for newcomers to road racing. In addition to the Ultra Sport colour versions, the Ultra Sport with SafetySystem offers extra puncture protection – the right tyre for all who want to safeguard against a troublesome flat when they are underway.
Ultra Sport Hometrainer
The roller tyre. With a modern roller and the Ultra Sport Hometrainer in the house, winter can set in when it wants to. Thanks to its special cold-running compound, the Ultra Sport Hometrainer doesn’t experience the heat buildup of a road tyre, nor does it suffer the tread separation that the road tyre is prone to under the special loads occurring when in cycling and braking on the roller’s revolving drums. The Ultra Sport Hometrainer has been designed explicitly for rollers and is not suitable for on-road use.

Tubular tyres for the road Competition
Conservative 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 the world race circuit, often accompanying prominent cyclists on their way to victory. We are proud of our Competition. That’s 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.
Grand Prix 4000 Tubular
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 and rolling 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 innovative Black Chili tread mixture. What will you fit to your carbon road wheels?
Sprinter
The specialist for circuit races or the criterium. Its function is in its name. The Sprinter is a fast tyre for the shorter road events like criteriums. With a nylon puncture protection breaker it is now even more reliable without losing its terrific rolling qualities. Its flexible casing and the extremely adhesive Black Chili compound keeps contact with the road even in fast 90° bends. With its low weight and good acceleration it is most definitely the fastest tyre in the last 400 metres.
Sprinter GatorSkin
The fast endurance runner. Inheriting the best qualities of the highly popular Ultra GatorSkin road tyre, namely the durable carbon black tread mixture, the effective puncture protection breaker layer and the DuraSkin™ anti-cut fabric. The Sprinter GatorSkin itself features the typically comfortable and light feel of a tubular tyre. The professional riders use a similar combination in their tyres for Paris – Roubaix and other equipment destroying classics in the springtime. If you want to ‘get the miles in’, but your streets aren’t covered with the finest tarmac and you prefer the inconspicuous function of your tyres, then this is your tubular.

Tubular tyres for the road Podium
Time Trial onto the Podium. A tyre for saving those crucial seconds: The Podium is designed 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 d’Italia 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!
Giro
The tubular tyre for training. Tubular tyres are used primarily in competitions because of their excellent rolling characteristics and very good dry running 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.
Tubular tyres for indoor sports Saalsport
Tyres for trick cycling, cycle ball and bicycle polo as well as indoor wheelchair sports. The Saalsport grips very well on all indoor surfaces and does not leave traces of abrasion behind. Its highly firm casing withstands the extreme strains of indoor cycle sports and the high shear force of wheelchair sports. The Saalsport tyre is cemented as a tubular tyre onto special tub rims. This is the only way to warrant that the tyre doesn’t jump off of the rim in narrow bends. According to our experience, especially in wheelchair sports a cemented tubular tyre is irreplaceable.

Tubular tyres for the track Olympic
The tyre of the Olympics. The best velodrome race cyclists in the world rely on the best indoor tyres in the world: Many victories were 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 velodrome race cycling disciplines. Its highly firm casing allows a pressure of up to 15 bar and at the same time it was optimized for the lowest possible rolling resistance and the lowest possible weight.
Sonderklasse
Continental-Sonderklasse: The classic for 6-day races. If the wheels never come to a stop, you can rely on Continental. The professional mechanics in the smoky halls of the six-day events have placed their trust in the Sonderklasse for generations of cyclists. With its fabric of finely wound cotton yarn, it provides a comfortable ride, even at high inflation pressures.
Tempo
The track tyre for Alpe d’Huez. As a very lightweight and fast track tyre, the Tempo gathers medals at international track events again and again. It has already contributed to victories on mountain stages and time trials in the Tour de France, demonstrating its versatility. But be careful! The Tempo is a pure competition tyre and was designed for the track. We explicitly do not recommend it for amateur sports on the road.

Rim cement Reliable for years! Generations of racers swear to this putty when it comes to maximum adhesion/traction and security. Especially for use with aluminium rims.
Rim cement for carbon rims Not any old putty is a good putty! Carbon rims have different character traits and have a modified heat conductivity compared to aluminium. To ensure that tubs hold a firm grip on the rim during long trips, we have optimized our traditional putty specifically for the use with carbon rims.

Tubular cyclo-cross tyres Cyclocross Worldcup Tubular
The name says it all! As a manufacturer of high-end tubulars we have bundled 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.
Cyclocross Speed Tubular
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.
Cyclocross Mud Tubular
Klaus-Peter Thalers first choice? Cross races have changed, but our standards remain the same. Whether in wet conditions or semi-dry tacky gloop, Cyclocross Mud attacks it all. Because of its open tyre profile they don‘t clutter with mud and reliably find their his way through the deepest terrain. Thanks to the slight 32 mm carcass the mud ensures enough frame clearance and guarantees unimpeded riding.

Clincher tyres for cyclo-cross Cyclocross
The whole-year tyre for the Trekking bike. Tarmac roads, sandy parkways or a rough gravel track, no problem for the new Cyclocross. With the 42 mm wide carcass, leisure riders will mainly benefit & appreciate this tyre. The rough profile makes it your faithful companion for all conditions.
Cyclocross Race
The CX racing clincher. The Cyclocross race makes its case with a voluminous 35 mm carcass and has a racer‘s heart beat. It promises the convenience of riding tubulars without having to deal with the cumbersome putty. Even at low air pressure, perfect balance between grip, comfort and low rolling resistance is provided.
Cyclocross Speed
For hard and frozen soil. The Cyclocross Speed is the thoroughbred in wire bead cyclocross tyres as the counterpart to its tubular neighbours. In addition to the 35 mm carcass, cyclocross is available with a 42 mm wide carcass and is convincing on any city or trekking tour.

The home terrain of MTB tyres is utterly unpredictable – quite as unpredictable, in fact, as the bikers’ individual riding styles. The very latest CAD is, of course, used to shape tread patterns like the GravityArc™ and EndlessEdge™, but it is out on open trails around the world that we get the inspiration for these tyres and later test them. To make sure no time is lost in implementing improvements, we maintain the sole MTB tyre production facility all-over Germany. There we manufacture the prototypes for our later production stars and for Continental’s – absolutely exclusive – featherweight Supersonic models. Germany, Continental production plant, Korbach.

Mountain bike tyres with Handmade in Germany!
Mountain bike tyres handmade in Germany – the Korbacher Series.
Why are there Continental MTB tyres that contain “Black Chili compound” and others that do not? Races and tests, having been met with success, prove Korbach tyres to be of an exceptional quality. „Handmade in Germany“ tyres are in fact something quite exceptional. Every tread featured on the following pages is sporting the “made in Germany” seal is available in a state-of-the-art model manufactured in Korbach. Precisely the desired setup an Irina Kalentieva, a Wolfram Kurschat or a Richie Schley are looking for. Sometimes needed to be a supersonic structure, at other times a heavy downhill double carcase was sought. Supersonic / ProTection 2.4 /2.2
We constantly refine our “handmade” tyres. grip and tested on trail by our riders will go from our wizard’s kitchen – the lab – straight to being incorporated into our Korbacher Series.
Supersonic 2.3 / 2.1
As soon as an improved tyre structure is being developed by our Conti Cup Team – bam, immediate production! Freedom of development ranks above routine policy here. Of course flexibility, creativity and trail proximity come at a price. ... but, hey, if that means

Mountain bike tyres
What is special about ProTection? Continental Mountain bike tyres are built in different versions. Tyres with the same tread vary in the core, in the structure of casing and in the rubber compound. Take for example, the Explorer – it is available in the following versions: 84 tpi casing with wire bead for an economical solution. Light 170 tpi casing with a foldable Kevlar bead and DuraSkinTM enhanced sidewalls with cut-resistant technology. Weight-optimized version with a light 170 tpi casing and foldable Kevlar bead. Tubeless version with 310 tpi and foldable Kevlar bead.
By the way, all of our casings are built with a bias angle of 45°. Only this thread angle provides the best compromise between high casing flexibility, low friction and excellent adhesion and stability.

Mountain bike tyres XC / Marathon Race King Supersonic 2.2 / 2.0
World champion! The Race King has presented itself as any talented newcomer in the best possible manner: With victories! Irina Kalentieva took its first prototype to podiums of both the MTB worldcup and the world cup Championships. Large volume casing combined with low profile tread pattern and Black Chili compound are just what ensures a head start on fast paced technical worldcup racing tracks and marathon pists. ProTection and basic variants are not made in Germany and
Race King ProTection 2.2 / 2.0 / UST
Edge 1.9
are available without Black Chili compound.
New 1.9 narrow mud tyre which bites deep down. Replacing our Survival 2.1, the Edge 1.9 continues the tradition of great german mud tyre designs. Only those who take the speed through the bends in XC races lead at the finish. This requires a tyre with a strong lateral adhesion. The Edge’s tread is equipped with our new adhesion mixture and the tyre has a narrow, open and rough tread design. This is the reason why it is the ideal tyre for rainy race days or for simply being the mud tyre choice on the weekend trail rides.
Classic Range Diesel 2.5
The Freeride Powerplant. A 2.5 tyre has to withstand a lot of heavy freeride abuse, that‘s obvious! The Diesel doesn‘t just withstand a lot, it is lightweight as well. The Diesel excels not only on downhill stretches, but it makes things a whole lot easier when heading uphill. A true all-rounder. The favourable wire version was equipped with additional reinforcement for bike park use, where the only thing that counts is the durability measured in drops and jumps.

Mountain bike tyres Classic Range Slash 2.3
That extra portion of grip: The specialist for loose terrain and adverse weather conditions. Our Slash is not the lightest or the most comfortable Freeride tyre, it is built for the intrepid Freerider who pushes the limits further on every ride. Where gravel tracks and tow paths are of no interest and the rider craves challenging singletrack, the Slash is a serious tyre choice. With an open, edgy tread, a new sticky tread mixture and the reinforced casing options of Wire and ProTection, it wants to be taken on the rough.
Gravity 2.3
Biking pleasure on all trails. Tyres of the width 2.3 are versatile. They can be used on low mountain trails just as well as the Alpencross. The round tyre cross-section typical for Continental and the GravityArc™ tread lead to playful handling. The tyre can be turned easily in curves and reliably sinks its claws into loose surfaces. The Gravity‘s aggressive appearance does not contradict its running smoothness – an advantage that is appreciated especially on asphalt stretches. Incidentally, it’s the tyre selected by a certain Greg “HB” Herbold.
Vertical 2.3
The modern classic. The Vertical has everything a classic tyre needs. It is at home on all trails, really showing what it can do when the terrain turns rugged. Still the top choice for tours in Alpine terrain where low weight and high puncture protection are paramount. What the press say “If we were to choose one tyre to serve us all year round, it would be the Continental Vertical ProTection ... We know riders who swear by these tyres and we can see why ...” MBR Magazine.
Vapor 2.1
The Marathon specialist. Designed as an intermediate tyre for cross country trail riding and racing, the Vapor concentrates on fast rolling, using the Gravity Arc tread design. Wide centre lugs keep the tyre rolling fast whilst the Arcs (lug bases) in the shoulders create stable handling under cornering for predictable handling. Worth a try for XC marathon racers looking for faster lap times and good puncture protection.
Explorer 2.1
The all-round athlete. Exceptionally successful intermediate cross country tyre. Its spikey “Endless Edge” tread design hooks up on loose surfaces at all angles of lean and the sharp lugs clear mud efficiently for when the sky opens and the trails get rainswept. For the racers of tomorrow, the Explorer is available in smaller sizes for children’s bikes.

Mountain bike tyres Classic Range Twister Supersonic 1.9
The speed master. A tyre for cross-country competition in dry/hard conditions. Thanks to its new feature, the Black Chili tread compound, the Twister offers the lowest possible rolling resistance and unbelievable adhesion. Weighing in at a mere 370 g, the Twister Supersonic is a true tuning component which doesn‘t slow things down in the least. But beware, Supersonic tyres offer limited puncture protection compared to other formats.
Specialists CrossCountry
The special tyre for muddy trails. Ideal for deep surfaces and mud. The tyre sinks in until firm ground ensures traction. The CrossCountry makes it possible to ride cyclo-cross races with the MTB.
Double Fighter II
For sporty MTB‘s and Trekking bikes. The Double Fighter is back! In a sturdy gumwall design for urban biking. It rolls smoothly and quietly on asphalt. Its side lugs give it the right tracking bite on park and gravel paths. The ideal combination for turning a proven knobbly all-terrain tyre into one good for zipping around the metro area.
Traffic
Look lean and mean in the city. The 2009 season‘s new profile designed for the everyday mountain bike in the city and the country-side. This bridge profile will always provide a peaceful and rapid run on the road. The very stiff construction and the robust side wall protect from the dangers of big city life. Also available with a reflective sidewall for higher safety.
Spike Claw
The MTB tyre for true vikings. Studs in the tread bars provide grip on ice and snow. Thanks to its open tread, it has good self-cleaning properties and gets where it is going in mud and snow. The Spike Claw barely sinks into the surface by virtue of its large volume. Available with either 120 or 240 studs of hardened steel.

Touring and city bike tyres are pretty much expected to offer a little bit of everything. Reliable traction & steering, even with shopping bags slung around the handlebars, puncture protection on stretches as rough as Australia’s thorn-strewn paths, and high efficiency when vying for the distinction of world bike messenger champion. All of this is a piece of cake for our Contact series of tyres.

City / Trekkingand ATB-Tyres TopContact Reflex
Handmade in Germany. Any touring tyre has not been able to make that claim for a long time now. The TopContact picks up where “Pneumatics”, “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!
Contact Reflex
Fast, safe and comfortable – guaranteed! The Contact is the jack-of-all-trades amongst city and trekking tyres. Its tread design is based upon the principles of bionics. A uniform center tread/belt assembly ensures a smooth and speedy ride on the road. Flexible shoulder lugs and fine sipes guarantee grip in curves and on loose surfaces. The overall tyre construction rounds off the overall high quality. The ultra fine carcass fabric reduces the rolling resistance while providing a noticeably more comfortable ride. Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem™ Guarantee!
TravelContact
The globetrotter. You can‘t develop a tyre for globetrotters on the drawing board. So that is why all of Tilmann Waldthaler‘s experience has been put to use in the development of the TravelContact. His requirements were obvious: a robust carcass with a high carrying capacity and protection against chafing and cuts, effective puncture resistance and last but not least, a tread that makes it possible to explore paths around the world quickly and safely. A foldable version is of course also available to take along as a spare. The TravelContact is ideal for touring all kinds of routes – along the Weser river in Germany or the best bikespots in the world. Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem™ Guarantee!

Deutsche Technik in detail
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 the effects 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 tyre’s construction, our tyre specifications 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:
110 threads per 2.54 centimeters of a single layer of fabric
For instance: Grand Prix 4000: 3/330 + Vectran Breaker is equivalent to:
2,54 cm
Tread
3 Fabric plies/3*110 tpi + Vectran Breaker Puncture-proof plies
Contact: 3/180 + SafetySystem™ is equivalent to:
Casing
3 Fabric plies/3*60 tpi + SafetySystem™ Breaker Olympic: 2/220 is equivalent to:
Beads
2 plies (aramid in this case) / 2*110 tpi
Patented and lightweight sidewall protection Improved sidewall protection An extremely durable polyamide fabric that protects the extra-fine, high-performance casing from cuts, punctures and abrasion. Lightweight durability Continental’s proprietary production process applies the DuraSkin™ fabric to only the exposed sidewall area resulting in a mere 10 grams of added weight. All new appearance DuraSkin™’s mesh layer adds a high-tech look to our entyre line of performance MTB tyres. The term ProTection indicates that a tyre has DuraSkin™ technology. 52
Mileage
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.
Speed
Grip
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 resistance and 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. 0,0000001 m
Antioxidants: they protect the compound against environmental influences, e. g. ozone, UV.
The innovation in puncture protection Vectran™ is a multifibred thermoplastic yarn, made of melted Vectra™ Liquid Crystal Polymer. Vectran™ is the only LCP fibre in the world, which is made using a spinning process. Reinforcing and matrix fibres made of Vectran™, are lightweight, extremely durable, have reliable longevity and are five times stronger as steel. With a layer (breaker) of Vectran™ under the tread, the tyre is protected from breakdowns more efficiently than with a Nylon Double Breaker. This is because a single Vectran™ layer is lighter, more flexible and stronger than the two nylon layers.
Airtight The new processing techniques have succeeded in our existing puncture protection deposits to supplement our new PolyX Breaker. For the first time we have used polyester as Breaker material and rely on our experience in car tyres, where we have used polyester successfully for many years. The advantage of our new PolyX fabric lies however in details. The fibers are often crossed in the manufacturing process. This gives us a dense fabric with a minimum of space between the individual threads. Result: Whether sharp thorns or large shards, PolyX is failsafe and is very resistant to any kind of foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance. 53
Deutsche Technik in detail
-Guarantee No matter what happens – prepared for any awkward flat tyre situations we offer the solution: 12 months guaranteed breakdown cover. When is cycling most fun? In particular if no thought is being wasted on flat tyres. Continental offers an immediate guarantee: The SafetySystem Guarantee. If debris manages to puncture your tyre despite SSP breakdown cover, tyre and tube will be replaced free of charge. SSP is only available at Continental, valid for all City /Trekking tyres with SSP breakdown cover. 12 months coverage. Whatever happens! Please note the guarantee card on your tyre.*
Maximum protection When the conditions are the worst and only the maximum puncture protection will get you where you want to be, Continental SecuritySystem is the reliable answer. SecuritySystem utilizes an extra-duty, highly elastic casing belt that is virtually impervious to thorns, glass and other road debris.
TyrePositioningSystemTM · TPS is the systematic approach that puts race tyres on a new performance level · Race tyres for the front wheel have different responsibilities to the rear tyre and so our TPS tyres team up perfectly to give the optimal racing performance. · The lightweight 22 mm tyre is the perfect size for attacking turns safely whilst also rolling fastly and cutting through the air efficiently. The extra sticky Black Chili TPS front compound assures a safe passage through the corners, even in damp criterium races. · The 24 mm rear tyre has a harder wearing rear TPS Black Chili compound, necessary due to the extra weight applied to the rear wheel. This ensures that your race tyres will last beyond the first few early season races, and well into the summer program. The extra width will roll just as fast as the front tyre, whilst providing a wider footprint for safer cornering and a more comfortable ride, especially beneficial in the longer races.
*Excluded are tyre damages caused by: low air pressure, vandalism, miscellaneous people-or property damage on i.e. clothes or bike including work carried out by a bike retailer. More information available in our SafetySystem Guarantee handbook.

The ultimate speed experience Supersonic guarantees the ultimate speed experience. The SuperSonic 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 uncompromising in weight and rolling resistance also means cuts in other tyre properties. The performance and the breakdown protection of Supersonic 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.

Continental Tubeless Tyres for the Universal System Tubeless · Tubeless Tyres by Continental work with both UST and Rigida/ Nagesti rims and wheels.
nylon fabric
Air chamber Airtight inner liner
· Tyre and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary and pinchflats not possible anymore. · In comparison to the conventional system, the tyre pressure can be lowered. The comfort of the ride increases. · At a lower tyre pressure the tyre deflects more. The contact patch of the tyre increases and the tread adapts to the ground better. Tubeless tyres allow decreased air pressure and therefore deliver more traction.

ProTection Reliability under all conditions Not every ambitious cyclist thrives for every gained second, a place on the podium or the saving of the last gram. Some rather prefer longevity, reliability and a high puncture protection. Protection tyres are aimed at “AlpsCrossers” and all those who search for high-quality carefree tyres to accompany them through the whole season. Protection tyres use our high-tech sidewall pro-tection “DuraSkin” and thus advance to our most puncture protected tyres. 55

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 produced in Germany. As a global company, we also have hi-tech branches outside of Germany but our focus is naturally “Handmade in Germany”. That’s why Continental is the only bicycle tyre manufacturer in Germany.
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.

The mix is what counts. The Black Chili compound is only produced in Germany and is the result of the latest laboratory experiments 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 development 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.

Black Chili compound
VectranTM’s advantage VectranTM is a thermoplastic multi-fiber yarn that is made from melted VectraTM fluid-crystal-polymer, which we use in the casing of our top line tyres as puncture protection material. VectranTM is more cut-resistant than Aramid, five times stronger than steel and also lighter than a Nylon Double Breaker. It loses no grip when it’s wet.

Race tyres Set Grand Prix Attack and Force
The hardcore racers! Our Vectran and Black Chili technologies have been radically 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 Chili compound, it gives excellent traction and road handling that’s 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.
Grand Prix 4000s
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. So for reliability, longevity and all out performance for your race machine, the GP 4000s is the only choice.
Grand Prix 4000
The star in the peloton! For the coloured GP 4000 tyres, the activated silica compound improves the handling at stability limits and gives great rolling resistance. The anti-tear formula in the rubber compound prevents tread brittleness while increasing mileage performance. Xirallic colours give your machine a look of stylish elegance. The extra special thing about the GP 4000 and GP 4000s is their puncture protection made from Vectran™ liquid crystal fibres.
* The patented Vectran™ Breaker reconciles the conflicting goals of low weight, low rolling resistance and top puncture and cut resistance in a fascinating manner. The Vectran™ fluid crystal fibres were developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries. The material is extremely tear and cut resistant and is also flexible. It retains these properties even under constant stress – as opposed to Aramid.

Race tyres Grand Prix 4-Season
Technology from hell! Thanks to its DuraSkin™ anti-tear fabric, the Grand Prix 4-Season 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 compound, the tyre is characterized by very good mileage performance 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 double Vectran breaker belt under the tread raises the puncture and cut protection to the highest level available on the market.
Grand Prix Triathlon
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 pattern 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!
Grand Prix Supersonic
Faster than the speed of sound! With the Grand Prix Supersonic your contact with the road can be tuned to minimum weight and minimum rolling resistance. Together with a “Race 28 Supersonic” inner tube, our quickest tyre weighs only 210 g! The slick rolling area made out of a carbon black mixture looks cool and is of course made using our Black Chili recipie. But be cautious! The Grand Prix Supersonic is a very apt weapon in fighting for a personal best time, although for this extra speed, the tyre does not feature any additional puncture protection and has limited mileage use. With this in mind, the Grand Prix Supersonic is not a tyre for training!
Grand Prix
The legend lives! The name Continental Grand Prix has become a brand in its own right in cycling circles. The Grand Prix is THE classic tyre and a sign to quality and performance, a claim which appears again in the new Grand Prix. Like its predecessor, the new generation is eager to set own standards. The new Grand Prix leads the trend towards wide tyres in cycling. Wider tyres roll easier, have a higher mileage and offer more comfort and grip. The main size of the Grand Prix is 24 mm. Wide enough to show off the advantages of wider tyres, but still light and slim enough to be built into any racing machine.

Race tyres Ultra GatorSkin
The long distance runner. A durable carbon black mixture, a well regarded puncture protection system and the DuraSkin™-anti-cut fabric turn the Ultra GatorSkin into a real long distance runner. In varying widths from 23 mm to 32 mm it can be used on the way to work as well as training for road races or for sportives and audax. A durable, tough tyre at a really nice price. A modern tread design that collects less debris and the expansion of the product line to the new dimension 28-559 for fast MTB street riding.
Ultra Race
Nimble and quick for the ambitious road rider. The end of the training ride leads through beautiful landscapes – a pleasure. Getting ahead of your training partner by sprinting for place-name signs – a must! The Ultra Race supports your ambitions. The race orientated tread and the quick and comfortable 60 tpi casing plus puncture protection emphasizes your technical demands.
Ultra Sport
Work out like the pros. The new dynamically patterned tread, which can be matched to the bike’s frame thanks to four colour options, improves the value of any racing bike. Ultra Sport tyres make a stunning impact on every training ride and is ideal for newcomers to road racing. In addition to the Ultra Sport colour versions, the Ultra Sport with SafetySystem offers extra puncture protection – the right tyre for all who want to safeguard against a troublesome flat when they are underway.
Ultra Sport Hometrainer
The roller tyre. With a modern roller and the Ultra Sport Hometrainer in the house, winter can set in when it wants to. Thanks to its special cold-running compound, the Ultra Sport Hometrainer doesn’t experience the heat buildup of a road tyre, nor does it suffer the tread separation that the road tyre is prone to under the special loads occurring when in cycling and braking on the roller’s revolving drums. The Ultra Sport Hometrainer has been designed explicitly for rollers and is not suitable for on-road use.

Tubular tyres for the road Competition
Conservative 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 the world race circuit, often accompanying prominent cyclists on their way to victory. We are proud of our Competition. That’s 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.
Grand Prix 4000 Tubular
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 and rolling 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 innovative Black Chili tread mixture. What will you fit to your carbon road wheels?
Sprinter
The specialist for circuit races or the criterium. Its function is in its name. The Sprinter is a fast tyre for the shorter road events like criteriums. With a nylon puncture protection breaker it is now even more reliable without losing its terrific rolling qualities. Its flexible casing and the extremely adhesive Black Chili compound keeps contact with the road even in fast 90° bends. With its low weight and good acceleration it is most definitely the fastest tyre in the last 400 metres.
Sprinter GatorSkin
The fast endurance runner. Inheriting the best qualities of the highly popular Ultra GatorSkin road tyre, namely the durable carbon black tread mixture, the effective puncture protection breaker layer and the DuraSkin™ anti-cut fabric. The Sprinter GatorSkin itself features the typically comfortable and light feel of a tubular tyre. The professional riders use a similar combination in their tyres for Paris – Roubaix and other equipment destroying classics in the springtime. If you want to ‘get the miles in’, but your streets aren’t covered with the finest tarmac and you prefer the inconspicuous function of your tyres, then this is your tubular.

Tubular tyres for the road Podium
Time Trial onto the Podium. A tyre for saving those crucial seconds: The Podium is designed 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 d’Italia 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!
Giro
The tubular tyre for training. Tubular tyres are used primarily in competitions because of their excellent rolling characteristics and very good dry running 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.
Tubular tyres for indoor sports Saalsport
Tyres for trick cycling, cycle ball and bicycle polo as well as indoor wheelchair sports. The Saalsport grips very well on all indoor surfaces and does not leave traces of abrasion behind. Its highly firm casing withstands the extreme strains of indoor cycle sports and the high shear force of wheelchair sports. The Saalsport tyre is cemented as a tubular tyre onto special tub rims. This is the only way to warrant that the tyre doesn’t jump off of the rim in narrow bends. According to our experience, especially in wheelchair sports a cemented tubular tyre is irreplaceable.

Tubular tyres for the track Olympic
The tyre of the Olympics. The best velodrome race cyclists in the world rely on the best indoor tyres in the world: Many victories were 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 velodrome race cycling disciplines. Its highly firm casing allows a pressure of up to 15 bar and at the same time it was optimized for the lowest possible rolling resistance and the lowest possible weight.
Sonderklasse
Continental-Sonderklasse: The classic for 6-day races. If the wheels never come to a stop, you can rely on Continental. The professional mechanics in the smoky halls of the six-day events have placed their trust in the Sonderklasse for generations of cyclists. With its fabric of finely wound cotton yarn, it provides a comfortable ride, even at high inflation pressures.
Tempo
The track tyre for Alpe d’Huez. As a very lightweight and fast track tyre, the Tempo gathers medals at international track events again and again. It has already contributed to victories on mountain stages and time trials in the Tour de France, demonstrating its versatility. But be careful! The Tempo is a pure competition tyre and was designed for the track. We explicitly do not recommend it for amateur sports on the road.

Rim cement Reliable for years! Generations of racers swear to this putty when it comes to maximum adhesion/traction and security. Especially for use with aluminium rims.
Rim cement for carbon rims Not any old putty is a good putty! Carbon rims have different character traits and have a modified heat conductivity compared to aluminium. To ensure that tubs hold a firm grip on the rim during long trips, we have optimized our traditional putty specifically for the use with carbon rims.

Tubular cyclo-cross tyres Cyclocross Worldcup Tubular
The name says it all! As a manufacturer of high-end tubulars we have bundled 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.
Cyclocross Speed Tubular
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.
Cyclocross Mud Tubular
Klaus-Peter Thalers first choice? Cross races have changed, but our standards remain the same. Whether in wet conditions or semi-dry tacky gloop, Cyclocross Mud attacks it all. Because of its open tyre profile they don‘t clutter with mud and reliably find their his way through the deepest terrain. Thanks to the slight 32 mm carcass the mud ensures enough frame clearance and guarantees unimpeded riding.

The start of a new era! The Speed King masters the challenges presented by marathon trails and marathon races. This tyre is aggressive, lightweight and it has the stamina for those long races. With 4 mm high lugs, it out-performs many other tyres when it comes to endurance and the tall lugs perform well over loose or muddy terrain and after many kilometers they’re still going when other competitors have long since given up.

The home terrain of MTB tyres is utterly unpredictable – quite as unpredictable, in fact, as the bikers’ individual riding styles. The very latest CAD is, of course, used to shape tread patterns like the GravityArc™ and EndlessEdge™, but it is out on open trails around the world that we get the inspiration for these tyres and later test them. To make sure no time is lost in implementing improvements, we maintain the sole MTB tyre production facility all-over Germany. There we manufacture the prototypes for our later production stars and for Continental’s – absolutely exclusive – featherweight Supersonic models. Germany, Continental production plant, Korbach.

Mountain bike tyres with Handmade in Germany!
Mountain bike tyres handmade in Germany – the Korbacher Series.
Why are there Continental MTB tyres that contain “Black Chili compound” and others that do not? Races and tests, having been met with success, prove Korbach tyres to be of an exceptional quality. „Handmade in Germany“ tyres are in fact something quite exceptional. Every tread featured on the following pages is sporting the “made in Germany” seal is available in a state-of-the-art model manufactured in Korbach. Precisely the desired setup an Irina Kalentieva, a Wolfram Kurschat or a Richie Schley are looking for. Sometimes needed to be a supersonic structure, at other times a heavy downhill double carcase was sought. Supersonic / ProTection 2.4 /2.2
We constantly refine our “handmade” tyres. grip and tested on trail by our riders will go from our wizard’s kitchen – the lab – straight to being incorporated into our Korbacher Series.
Supersonic 2.3 / 2.1
As soon as an improved tyre structure is being developed by our Conti Cup Team – bam, immediate production! Freedom of development ranks above routine policy here. Of course flexibility, creativity and trail proximity come at a price. ... but, hey, if that means

Spiritual head and secular ruler. In the laboratory, Der Kaiser shows off with its profile design, angles and the compound recipe. On rocky, muddy slopes he supports the efforts and hopes of his racer. The insignia of the Kaiser are the newly drawn tread profile, the soft Black Chili compound and the strong double carcass. The mountainside is his palace!

Downhill in the rain. Mounting spiked tyres. Slipping into your wet gear. Slipping off the pedals. Shiny roots. Squealing brakes. Smeared goggles. The chain crunches. Finish line. Pressure washer. Sweaty uplift smell. Start all over again!
Rubber Queen 2.4 / UST
Big and small queen. Extra soft Black Chili compound makes our Rubber Queen 2.4 one hot chica! It’s phenomenal grip on even wet rocks and roots is just captivating. The side walls of our Rubber Queen are cushioned with an apex. This special form not only protects against punctures tubes but stabilizes tyres when you really push the tyres hard into corners. Brake, drop, push the curve – the Rubber Queen never bails out. For it not to remain a mere flirtation the Rubber Queen is the faithful type. Rubber Queen 2.2 is more petite. But don’t be deceived,

the little sister is just as cunning as it’s big sister. Wild Trails and Killer loops, Alp-crossing, as long as the partying continues! Touring suitability is ensured by a voluminous and light structured carcase. “Well-made in Germany” the Rubber Queen 2.2 shines with the allround Black Chili compound. Grips superbly with an unexpectedly low-rolling resistance. With the tyre available in basic wire and folding formats with no extras like apex, black chilli or german manufacture, it is a tyre for all price ranges!

Mountain bike tyres
What is special about ProTection? Continental Mountain bike tyres are built in different versions. Tyres with the same tread vary in the core, in the structure of casing and in the rubber compound. Take for example, the Explorer – it is available in the following versions: 84 tpi casing with wire bead for an economical solution. Light 170 tpi casing with a foldable Kevlar bead and DuraSkinTM enhanced sidewalls with cut-resistant technology. Weight-optimized version with a light 170 tpi casing and foldable Kevlar bead. Tubeless version with 310 tpi and foldable Kevlar bead.
By the way, all of our casings are built with a bias angle of 45°. Only this thread angle provides the best compromise between high casing flexibility, low friction and excellent adhesion and stability.

Mountain bike tyres XC / Marathon Race King Supersonic 2.2 / 2.0
World champion! The Race King has presented itself as any talented newcomer in the best possible manner: With victories! Irina Kalentieva took its first prototype to podiums of both the MTB worldcup and the world cup Championships. Large volume casing combined with low profile tread pattern and Black Chili compound are just what ensures a head start on fast paced technical worldcup racing tracks and marathon pists. ProTection and basic variants are not made in Germany and
Race King ProTection 2.2 / 2.0 / UST
Edge 1.9
are available without Black Chili compound.
New 1.9 narrow mud tyre which bites deep down. Replacing our Survival 2.1, the Edge 1.9 continues the tradition of great german mud tyre designs. Only those who take the speed through the bends in XC races lead at the finish. This requires a tyre with a strong lateral adhesion. The Edge’s tread is equipped with our new adhesion mixture and the tyre has a narrow, open and rough tread design. This is the reason why it is the ideal tyre for rainy race days or for simply being the mud tyre choice on the weekend trail rides.
Classic Range Diesel 2.5
The Freeride Powerplant. A 2.5 tyre has to withstand a lot of heavy freeride abuse, that‘s obvious! The Diesel doesn‘t just withstand a lot, it is lightweight as well. The Diesel excels not only on downhill stretches, but it makes things a whole lot easier when heading uphill. A true all-rounder. The favourable wire version was equipped with additional reinforcement for bike park use, where the only thing that counts is the durability measured in drops and jumps.

Mountain bike tyres Classic Range Slash 2.3
That extra portion of grip: The specialist for loose terrain and adverse weather conditions. Our Slash is not the lightest or the most comfortable Freeride tyre, it is built for the intrepid Freerider who pushes the limits further on every ride. Where gravel tracks and tow paths are of no interest and the rider craves challenging singletrack, the Slash is a serious tyre choice. With an open, edgy tread, a new sticky tread mixture and the reinforced casing options of Wire and ProTection, it wants to be taken on the rough.
Gravity 2.3
Biking pleasure on all trails. Tyres of the width 2.3 are versatile. They can be used on low mountain trails just as well as the Alpencross. The round tyre cross-section typical for Continental and the GravityArc™ tread lead to playful handling. The tyre can be turned easily in curves and reliably sinks its claws into loose surfaces. The Gravity‘s aggressive appearance does not contradict its running smoothness – an advantage that is appreciated especially on asphalt stretches. Incidentally, it’s the tyre selected by a certain Greg “HB” Herbold.
Vertical 2.3
The modern classic. The Vertical has everything a classic tyre needs. It is at home on all trails, really showing what it can do when the terrain turns rugged. Still the top choice for tours in Alpine terrain where low weight and high puncture protection are paramount. What the press say “If we were to choose one tyre to serve us all year round, it would be the Continental Vertical ProTection ... We know riders who swear by these tyres and we can see why ...” MBR Magazine.
Vapor 2.1
The Marathon specialist. Designed as an intermediate tyre for cross country trail riding and racing, the Vapor concentrates on fast rolling, using the Gravity Arc tread design. Wide centre lugs keep the tyre rolling fast whilst the Arcs (lug bases) in the shoulders create stable handling under cornering for predictable handling. Worth a try for XC marathon racers looking for faster lap times and good puncture protection.
Explorer 2.1
The all-round athlete. Exceptionally successful intermediate cross country tyre. Its spikey “Endless Edge” tread design hooks up on loose surfaces at all angles of lean and the sharp lugs clear mud efficiently for when the sky opens and the trails get rainswept. For the racers of tomorrow, the Explorer is available in smaller sizes for children’s bikes.

Mountain bike tyres Classic Range Twister Supersonic 1.9
The speed master. A tyre for cross-country competition in dry/hard conditions. Thanks to its new feature, the Black Chili tread compound, the Twister offers the lowest possible rolling resistance and unbelievable adhesion. Weighing in at a mere 370 g, the Twister Supersonic is a true tuning component which doesn‘t slow things down in the least. But beware, Supersonic tyres offer limited puncture protection compared to other formats.
Specialists CrossCountry
The special tyre for muddy trails. Ideal for deep surfaces and mud. The tyre sinks in until firm ground ensures traction. The CrossCountry makes it possible to ride cyclo-cross races with the MTB.
Double Fighter II
For sporty MTB‘s and Trekking bikes. The Double Fighter is back! In a sturdy gumwall design for urban biking. It rolls smoothly and quietly on asphalt. Its side lugs give it the right tracking bite on park and gravel paths. The ideal combination for turning a proven knobbly all-terrain tyre into one good for zipping around the metro area.
Traffic
Look lean and mean in the city. The 2009 season‘s new profile designed for the everyday mountain bike in the city and the country-side. This bridge profile will always provide a peaceful and rapid run on the road. The very stiff construction and the robust side wall protect from the dangers of big city life. Also available with a reflective sidewall for higher safety.
Spike Claw
The MTB tyre for true vikings. Studs in the tread bars provide grip on ice and snow. Thanks to its open tread, it has good self-cleaning properties and gets where it is going in mud and snow. The Spike Claw barely sinks into the surface by virtue of its large volume. Available with either 120 or 240 studs of hardened steel.

Touring and city bike tyres are pretty much expected to offer a little bit of everything. Reliable traction & steering, even with shopping bags slung around the handlebars, puncture protection on stretches as rough as Australia’s thorn-strewn paths, and high efficiency when vying for the distinction of world bike messenger champion. All of this is a piece of cake for our Contact series of tyres.

City / Trekkingand ATB-Tyres TopContact Reflex
Handmade in Germany. Any touring tyre has not been able to make that claim for a long time now. The TopContact picks up where “Pneumatics”, “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!
Contact Reflex
Fast, safe and comfortable – guaranteed! The Contact is the jack-of-all-trades amongst city and trekking tyres. Its tread design is based upon the principles of bionics. A uniform center tread/belt assembly ensures a smooth and speedy ride on the road. Flexible shoulder lugs and fine sipes guarantee grip in curves and on loose surfaces. The overall tyre construction rounds off the overall high quality. The ultra fine carcass fabric reduces the rolling resistance while providing a noticeably more comfortable ride. Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem™ Guarantee!
TravelContact
The globetrotter. You can‘t develop a tyre for globetrotters on the drawing board. So that is why all of Tilmann Waldthaler‘s experience has been put to use in the development of the TravelContact. His requirements were obvious: a robust carcass with a high carrying capacity and protection against chafing and cuts, effective puncture resistance and last but not least, a tread that makes it possible to explore paths around the world quickly and safely. A foldable version is of course also available to take along as a spare. The TravelContact is ideal for touring all kinds of routes – along the Weser river in Germany or the best bikespots in the world. Extremely puncture-proof and with the SafetySystem™ Guarantee!

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 the effects 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 tyre’s construction, our tyre specifications 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:
110 threads per 2.54 centimeters of a single layer of fabric
For instance: Grand Prix 4000: 3/330 + Vectran Breaker is equivalent to:
2,54 cm

3 Fabric plies/3*110 tpi + Vectran Breaker Puncture-proof plies

Casing
3 Fabric plies/3*60 tpi + SafetySystem™ Breaker Olympic: 2/220 is equivalent to:

2 plies (aramid in this case) / 2*110 tpi
Patented and lightweight sidewall protection Improved sidewall protection An extremely durable polyamide fabric that protects the extra-fine, high-performance casing from cuts, punctures and abrasion. Lightweight durability Continental’s proprietary production process applies the DuraSkin™ fabric to only the exposed sidewall area resulting in a mere 10 grams of added weight. All new appearance DuraSkin™’s mesh layer adds a high-tech look to our entyre line of performance MTB tyres. The term ProTection indicates that a tyre has DuraSkin™ technology. 52
Mileage
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.
Speed
Grip
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 resistance and 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. 0,0000001 m
Antioxidants: they protect the compound against environmental influences, e. g. ozone, UV.
The innovation in puncture protection Vectran™ is a multifibred thermoplastic yarn, made of melted Vectra™ Liquid Crystal Polymer. Vectran™ is the only LCP fibre in the world, which is made using a spinning process. Reinforcing and matrix fibres made of Vectran™, are lightweight, extremely durable, have reliable longevity and are five times stronger as steel. With a layer (breaker) of Vectran™ under the tread, the tyre is protected from breakdowns more efficiently than with a Nylon Double Breaker. This is because a single Vectran™ layer is lighter, more flexible and stronger than the two nylon layers.
Airtight The new processing techniques have succeeded in our existing puncture protection deposits to supplement our new PolyX Breaker. For the first time we have used polyester as Breaker material and rely on our experience in car tyres, where we have used polyester successfully for many years. The advantage of our new PolyX fabric lies however in details. The fibers are often crossed in the manufacturing process. This gives us a dense fabric with a minimum of space between the individual threads. Result: Whether sharp thorns or large shards, PolyX is failsafe and is very resistant to any kind of foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance. 53

-Guarantee No matter what happens – prepared for any awkward flat tyre situations we offer the solution: 12 months guaranteed breakdown cover. When is cycling most fun? In particular if no thought is being wasted on flat tyres. Continental offers an immediate guarantee: The SafetySystem Guarantee. If debris manages to puncture your tyre despite SSP breakdown cover, tyre and tube will be replaced free of charge. SSP is only available at Continental, valid for all City /Trekking tyres with SSP breakdown cover. 12 months coverage. Whatever happens! Please note the guarantee card on your tyre.*
Maximum protection When the conditions are the worst and only the maximum puncture protection will get you where you want to be, Continental SecuritySystem is the reliable answer. SecuritySystem utilizes an extra-duty, highly elastic casing belt that is virtually impervious to thorns, glass and other road debris.
TyrePositioningSystemTM · TPS is the systematic approach that puts race tyres on a new performance level · Race tyres for the front wheel have different responsibilities to the rear tyre and so our TPS tyres team up perfectly to give the optimal racing performance. · The lightweight 22 mm tyre is the perfect size for attacking turns safely whilst also rolling fastly and cutting through the air efficiently. The extra sticky Black Chili TPS front compound assures a safe passage through the corners, even in damp criterium races. · The 24 mm rear tyre has a harder wearing rear TPS Black Chili compound, necessary due to the extra weight applied to the rear wheel. This ensures that your race tyres will last beyond the first few early season races, and well into the summer program. The extra width will roll just as fast as the front tyre, whilst providing a wider footprint for safer cornering and a more comfortable ride, especially beneficial in the longer races.
*Excluded are tyre damages caused by: low air pressure, vandalism, miscellaneous people-or property damage on i.e. clothes or bike including work carried out by a bike retailer. More information available in our SafetySystem Guarantee handbook.

The ultimate speed experience Supersonic guarantees the ultimate speed experience. The SuperSonic 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 uncompromising in weight and rolling resistance also means cuts in other tyre properties. The performance and the breakdown protection of Supersonic 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.

Air chamber Airtight inner liner
· Tyre and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary and pinchflats not possible anymore. · In comparison to the conventional system, the tyre pressure can be lowered. The comfort of the ride increases. · At a lower tyre pressure the tyre deflects more. The contact patch of the tyre increases and the tread adapts to the ground better. Tubeless tyres allow decreased air pressure and therefore deliver more traction.

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 produced in Germany. As a global company, we also have hi-tech branches outside of Germany but our focus is naturally “Handmade in Germany”. That’s why Continental is the only bicycle tyre manufacturer in Germany.
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.
Germany, Continental production plant, Korbach. At Continental working, f.l.t.r.: Ursula König; Ulf Günzel; Bärbel Disterheft; Sigrid Sander.
