Grandmaster.
Competition signifies genuine craftsmanship using needle and thread. It is the most reliable tire in the professional peloton. Time and again, it has proven its capabilities on the world stage, often helping famous cyclists journey to victory, like Cadel Evans in the 2011 Tour de France. We are proud of our Competition, and that’s why we always keep it on the road to victory. Competition is the first tire in our collection where we utilized BlackChili Compound and Vectran™ Breaker.

Black Chili
A high-performance rubber compound developed by Continental which, compared to regular rubber compounds:

• Reduces rolling resistance by 26%
• Increases grip by 30%
• Enhances wear resistance by 5%!

Vectran
Vectran is a patented puncture protection developed by Continental that:

• Is lighter and more flexible while providing more effective protection compared to equivalent nylon puncture protection.
• Does not compromise the tire’s rolling resistance.
• Is a high-tech synthetic fiber based on a natural model.
• Is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP), similar to spider silk.
• Is spun from a melted Vectra liquid polymer and further processed into a multi-strand yarn. Like spider silk, Vectran is extremely tear-resistant and lightweight. These qualities make it an excellent
• material for high-performance puncture protection in Continental tires.
