Continental Grand Prix TT BlackChili Folding Tyre 

The Grand Prix TT follows in the tracks of the time trial tubular - Podium TT: a pure time trial clincher for serious competitors. Its ambitions are already optically apparent.

A slick centre tread profile ensures a few seconds are saved whilst the slightly roughened shoulders give that extra assurance on rougher B road bends.

Particularly light thanks to a minimised tread depth and indescribably fast due to the latest "BlackChili Compound".

A Vectran™ Breaker protects reliably from the threat of punctures and of course it's "Handmade in Germany"!

The first clincher tyre to win a modern day professional World TT Championships

Ultra fine 330 tpi nylon casing, BlackChili compound and Vectran puncture protection

BlackChili - 

It’s all about how you mix it

With our unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, we have revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling.

Regular test wins confirm the measureable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road.

The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance

Vectran - 

The benchmark in puncture protection

Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread.

Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert.

A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
