Made in Germany - the RaceSport and ProTection models in the range
utilize the BlackChili rubber compound, which combines protection and speed.
Thanks to the lower tread pattern, the Race King rolls quickly and lightly.
The ProTection version, with special puncture protection, is designed for heavy use, while
the lighter RaceSport version is better suited for off-road riding and marathon tracks.
BlackChili is Continental's highly developed rubber compound,
which creates 26% less rolling resistance and 30% more grip
than ordinary rubber compounds.
It also increases wear resistance by 5%!
Thanks to ProTection technology, the tires have a perfect combination of
smooth rolling, grip, and puncture protection.
This is achieved with an extra puncture protection layer, which makes the tire very durable and
fully protected against damage.
Despite the extra layer, the tire has excellent damping effect and performs well
in the toughest terrains.
ProTection models also work with Tubeless rims.
