Continental Competition Black Chili Tubular Road Tire

While it is designed for high-level racing, its robust construction and Vectran Breaker puncture protection make it durable enough for demanding training rides as well. It is a true all-rounder that balances speed with reliability.

Black Chili is Continental's proprietary rubber compound that balances grip and rolling resistance. It uses specialized carbon black particles to provide excellent traction in various road conditions while keeping the tire fast and efficient.

Tubular tires are glued directly to the rim, which allows for a more supple, responsive feel compared to traditional clincher tires. This construction absorbs road vibrations better, resulting in a smoother and more controlled ride.

Yes, this is a tubular tire, meaning it must be installed on rims specifically designed for tubular tires. It cannot be used with standard clincher or tubeless-ready rims.

The Vectran Breaker is a synthetic fiber layer that provides exceptional cut resistance without adding significant weight or stiffness. It is highly effective against common road debris, though no tire is completely immune to punctures.
