Continental Grand Prix Attack III Black Chili Foldable Road Tyre - 700 x 23c
Introducing our road race-specific tyre pairing designed for peak performance when it matters most. The aerodynamic and agile front tyre is coupled with a grippy and comfortable rear tyre, making it a real racing set. Featuring Vectran technology for excellent puncture protection, these tyres are perfect for lightweight, highly aerodynamic wheels. The ATTACK front tyre ensures sharp handling, while the FORCE rear tyre, with a tougher and wider 25mm profile, delivers enhanced durability and grip. Utilizing our TPS (Tyre Positioning System) derived from motorsport, and advanced BlackChili compound, this set offers the ultimate combination of speed, comfort, and reliability for competitive racing.
Features:
BlackChili Compound: This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in Continental German factory has revolutionized bicycle tyres. The resultant compound showed a new relationship between grip and rolling resistance. This "Elevated level", as it was previously known, was given the name "BlackChili". The latest polymers, nanoscale soot particles and optimized fillers all guarantee a unique performance.
BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% and provides 30% more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tyres with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant ride from the first to the last kilometer.
Vectran Breaker: Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP), spun from Vectra. Processed the result is a thread that is thermoplastic and has multifilaments. This semicrystalline material is harder then aramid, has five times higher tensile strength than steel and in addition, is also lighter than comparable nylon thread. Vectran maintains these attributes even in the most adverse weather conditions without influencing the rolling resistance negatively.
Tyre Positioning System (TPS): With the Tyre Positioning System, the last little bit of what is currently technically possible has been exploited. The result is a pioneering front tyre and rear tyre system for road racing; to be found in GP Attack and Force combination. Motorcyclists have known for a long time: Different demands are made on a front tyre than on its rear counterpart. The narrower front tyre provides reduced wind resistance and better handling. An adhesion-optimized tread mixture supplies the necessary grip especially for wet cornering. The wide rear tyre offers better traction thanks to a larger contact area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast rolling, optimized tread mixture and the larger contact area on the rear tyre, wear is reduced.
