Continental

Manufacturing bicycle tires since 1871, Continental recently released a new 'Black Chili Compound' that they are using in their tires. Black Chili hit the market in 2007 and has fast become a hit with cyclists across the world who have marvelled at its performance beneifits.  It features 26% lower rolling resistance, 30% higher grip, and even 5% longer mileage. Black Chlli is a new tread mixture combining 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.
