The indoor all-rounder.
Featuring an extremely supple nylon casing, uncompromisingly slick profile and the BlackChili Compound it is a credit to its name. Designed as lightweight, fast competition track tyre, setting records on both concrete and wooden tracks for the track, it is also bought by famous professionals and "misused" for mountain stages and time trials. Handmade in Korbach, it is however not recommended for use in road races due to its uncompromising composition.

This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in Continental German factory has revolutionised bicycle tyres. The resultant compound showed a new relationship between grip and rolling resistance. This "Elevated level", as it was previously known, was given the name "BlackChili". The latest polymers, nanoscale soot particles and optimized fillers all guarantee a unique performance, from downhill MTB tyres to the time trial tyres of the ProTour, they are second to none in their respective areas. BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% and provides 30% more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tyres with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant ride from the first to the last kilometre.
