Technologies : BlackChili CompoundThe Gretchen question of cycling. The rolling properties of a tire's rubber compound are largely determined by three interacting factors: static friction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: if you improve one of these factors, at least one other will deteriorate in return. A tire with maximum grip wears out faster and rolls slower. If you make the tire faster or more durable, its grip is reduced.With BlackChili Compound, a tread compound always based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research, Continental has provided the cycling scene with a sustainable answer. Depending on a tire's area of use, the compound recipe is specifically tailored - whether for racing bikes or mountain bikes, for time trials or downhill. For BlackChili, Continental refines special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to create particularly high-performance tread compounds. Soot particles are then added to these compounds, which in turn have been optimized in terms of shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound are only produced in Korbach. This is made possible by an additional all-round puncture protection layer, which makes the whole tire particularly resistant and insensitive to injury. Despite the extra layer, the tire has very good cushioning properties and repasses cleanly on the most difficult trails. BlackChili provides the necessary smoothness and grip. Another feature of Germany's ProTection technology is tubeless ready capability. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot makes tire mounting easy and straightforward. For optimum sealing results and use, Continental recommends using the new Continental RevoSealant sealant. Compared with UST tires, however, Tubeless Ready tires are much lighter and therefore permeable to air in the sidewall. This is sealed with a special sealing milk. All MTB tires from Continental are Tubeless Ready in ProTection and Performance versions. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot makes tire mounting easy and straightforward. For optimum sealing and operational results, we recommend using the new Continental RevoSealant. When correctly installed, the system is relatively leakproof and less susceptible to snakebite than soft or corded tires. Large ATV tires in particular benefit from this design. Tubeless Ready tires can be used with lower operating pressures. The risk of punctures is considerably reduced, as there are no tubes to puncture. Wandering" of the tire on the rim also has no consequences. What's more, grip, comfort and rolling resistance improve off-road performance. - Intended use: mountain biking - Weight: 815 g - Details: - Safe on mountainous terrain and just as ideal on touring bikes - Plenty of grip thanks to its grippy, non-slip center lugs - The perfect all-mountain tire with enduro ambitions Companion for sporty travel - Wheel size: 27.5 inch - Scope of delivery (quantity): individual tires - E-bike compatibility: manufacturer's recommendation up to 25 km/h - Rubber mix: Black Chili - Pressure (bar): 2 bar - 3 bar - Design: ProTection - Tire size (diameter x width): 27.5 x 2.6 inch - Density...
