The Grand Prix was developed for riders looking for a cost-effective tire that perfectly balances puncture protection and rolling resistance. Whether for training, commuting or long-distance use, the Grand Prix is the ideal companion. The 3-ply carcass construction is largely responsible for its high puncture protection and low weight. Continental's legendary Black Chili compound is used for low rolling resistance and high grip in all conditions.
BlackChili Compound
At Conti, BlackChili means above all that grip, rolling resistance and durability are combined at a level that almost makes you believe in magic. Continental simply uses the very latest and best technologies. The latest polymers, carbon black particles optimized down to the nano range and fillers guarantee the unique performance of the BlackChili compound. It revolutionized the basic conflict between grip and rolling resistance. Approximately 30% more grip and a 26% improvement in rolling resistance compared to the silica compound ensure better performance and safety.
Continental tires consist entirely of this high-quality rubber compound. This means that the tires can be worn down to the carcass without losing the first-class properties of the rubber!
Once you've ridden a tire with Black Chilli, you won't want anything else!
Lazer Grip inspired tread pattern
The tread pattern in the shoulder area of the tire, inspired by Continental's 5000 ST R racing tire, provides increased cornering grip and also reduces drag.
