TIRE 29 x 2.40 BK/BK CONTINENTAL Arg SO EN 0150686 fold

Our new soft compound option (Soft Compound) BlackChili from our new range of Gravity MTB tires. The balance between roll and traction. High levels of traction with reasonable rolling resistance.  This compound option offers DH riders the choice of a slightly stiffer, longer lasting compound for the rear wheel or both wheels on enduro and trail bikes to get a better value for money from your set of racing tires.

Continental has developed a mixture of newly discovered synthetic rubber with natural rubber and with a tread with proven wear resistance. To these components in the mixture have been added special nanometric carbon particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for the most - good use of the bicycle tire as intended. The tires with the BlackChili compound achieved an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to previous compounds, such as the one with activated silica, BlackChili tires have 26% less rolling resistance, but 30% more grip and increase mileage by 5%. BlackChili technology never stands still, as it is continuously developed in the scientific departments at the Continental plants in Korbach and adapted to the individual applications of the new Continental tires. Whether you are on the road or on a mountain bike , speed and grip are very notable advantages. Technology is so sensitive that BlackChili tires can only be produced at Continental's Korbach plants.

Suitable for electric bikes< ;/b>

For our e-bike tire portfolio, we borrow technology from over 100 years of experience in manufacturing and developing our motorcycle tires. All our tires are rated according to the standard index of E25 or E50 respectively 25 / 50 km / h. They have high-quality puncture protection and low rolling resistance.

Enduro Shell
Durable monolayer carcass construction consisting of 110 threads per inch (tpi) wrapped around an aramid bead for an overall 2-layer / 220 tpi sidewall construction and 3-layer tread construction / 330 tpi. In addition, the floating cross-woven ProTection (PT) fabric from the board to the shoulder saves weight compared to the two-layer shell construction, but provides much of the same protective qualities in a lighter construction.

• For Enduro bikes & Heavy Trail
• Recommended for 150-170mm travel on conventional and e-bikes
• Improved extended Apex insert above the bead for support and snakebite protection
• Additional cross-woven ProTection prevents cuts and cuts
• Tubeless ready
• Cross-woven protection fabric protects the rim / rim intersection
• 2 layers (220tpi sidewall, 3 layers (330tpi) under tread
