PolyX Breaker Technology With their PolyX Breaker, Continental bring PKW know-how to the bike tyre arena – Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswire making a very high fabric density which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX Breaker. BlackChili Compound Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented level of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage. TPS TyrePositioning System The narrower front tyre (22mm) provides reduced wind resistance and better handling. An adhesion-optimised tread mixture supplies the necessary grip, especially for wet cornering. The wider rear tyre (24mm) offers better traction thanks to a larger contact area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast-rolling, optimised tread mixture and larger contact area on the rear tyre, wear is reduced. The result is a pioneering front and rear tyre system for road racing – to be found in Conti’s GP Attack and Force tyres/tubs.

The Continental Grand Prix Tyre is a comfortable all-rounder that has been written into cycling history. With the PolyX-Breaker we introduce technological know-how from automotive manufacturing to the bicycle tyre sector. Polyester has been used successfully in car tyres for years and has proven its worth. The extremely resilient polyester fibre is woven finely as a cross mesh. This way a high density of fabric is achieved which not only makes our breaker more robust against foreign objects, but also makes it particularly puncture resistant. The BlackChili compound is the unassailable specialists for combining compound characteristics. Grip and rolling resistance are no longer adversaries. Outstanding handling characteristics from the first to the last kilometre.Neutral design and solid construction for sporting rides at the highest levelPuncture protection, comfort and decent grip make every ride hassle freeExcellent puncture protection thanks to PolyXBreaker puncture protectionExcellent grip, high mileage and efficient rolling thanks to BlackChili compoundMade in Germany
