The Continental Sprinter is an efficient competition tire that excels in criterium and triathlon events. It features a neutral slick profile for direct handling and super-fast acceleration. The SafetySystem anti-puncture belt protects the tire from flats, while the BlackChili compound provides excellent grip, high mileage, and efficient rolling. This revolutionary tread compound is based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research. For BlackChili, Continental refines newly developed synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to create particularly high-performance tread compounds. Continental uses nano-sized carbon black particles that are optimized in shape and surface properties to tailor the compound to the specific application of the tire. Tires with BlackChili compound achieve an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to activated silica tires, BlackChili tires have 26% lower rolling resistance, 30% higher grip, and 5% greater mileage. The SafetySystem breaker is made from Kevlar-reinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant, yet lightweight and flexible, the tire better adapts to the road surface. Without significantly increasing weight or rolling resistance, it protects the casing from foreign objects and contributes to the tire's long lifespan. Additionally, tires with SafetySystem breaker offer particularly comfortable riding characteristics.
