Allrounder with comfort.The Grand Prix is a classic allrounder with a modern profile design for the training and touring bike. The tire offers a perfect mixture of puncture protection, comfort and smooth running. It is characterized by extremely high mileage and makes every tour a carefree pleasure. An all-rounder among the racing bike tires with many qualities at a good price-performance ratio. Its proven tread pattern and BlackChili Compound offer excellent grip, especially in the wet.BlackChili CompoundBlackChili Compound is a tread compound that is always based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research. Depending on a tire’s area of application, Continental adapts the compound formulation specifically for the respective application. For BlackChili, Continental refines special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to create high-performance tread compounds. Soot particles are then added to these compounds, which in turn are optimized in terms of shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound are produced exclusively in Germany. Tires with BlackChili Compound achieve an excellent performance level. Compared to activated silica tires, BlackChili tires have a 26 percent lower rolling resistance, a 30 percent higher static friction value (grip) and a 5 percent higher mileage.PolyX BreakerThe breaker is an insert under the tread of the tire to protect it from cuts or stitches. Polyester has been successfully used in car tires for years and has proven itself many times over. The extremely resistant polyester fiber is woven tightly cross-woven. This results in a very high fabric density, which makes the breaker not only resistant to foreign bodies, but also particularly resistant to punctures….
