Continental Grand Prix GT 28" Folding Tyre

The endurance runner: the Grand Prix GT Folding Tyre by Continental

The secret lies in the structure. The extra wide PolyX Breaker® effectively protects against foreign bodies under the tread. The continuous three-ply carcass effectively reinforces the sidewalls without adding much weight. This gives the Grand Prix GT special endurance at the highest level - which earns the tyre the GT (GrandTour) designation and predestines it for marathons and multi-day races. BlackChili Compound and the proven profile of the Grand Prix offer excellent grip - naturally handmade in Germany.

Technology:

Premium
The Continental Premium tyres have been designed to deliver top performance. They are equipped with the latest technologies, which have been developed together with the most successful athletes in the world. They are handmade by the experienced specialists in Korbach (Germany). Added to this are selected materials for the highest quality and outstanding properties.

BlackChili Compound
The rolling characteristics of the rubber compound of a tyre are determined by three interacting factors: Static friction (grip), rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: If one of these factors is improved, at least one other factor deteriorates in return. BlackChili Compound is the name of Continental's revolutionary tread compound based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research. For BlackChili, Continental refines newly developed synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber into particularly high-performance tread compounds. Conti adds nanoscale carbon black particles to these rubbers, which are optimised in shape and surface properties in order to match the compound to the respective application of the tyre. Tyres with BlackChili Compound achieve an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to activated silica tyres, BlackChili tyres have 26 % lower rolling resistance, 30 % higher static friction value (grip) and 5 % higher mileage. Whether on a Road bike or MTB - the speed and grip advantage is clearly noticeable! The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tyres with BlackChili Compound are produced exclusively at Continental in Korbach, Germany.

PolyX Breaker®
With PolyX Breaker®, Continental brings automotive know-how to the bicycle tyre segment: polyester has been used successfully in car tyres for years and has proven itself many times over. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is tightly woven crosswise. This results in a very high fabric density, which makes the breaker not only resistant to foreign bodies, but also particularly resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is also not negatively influenced by PolyX Breaker®.
