Continental Der Kaiser Project Apex 26" padanga | Black - Black

Race tire with efficient propulsion, phenomenal braking power and precise handling on bends.

The profile design derived directly from the toughest World Cup courses.

It’s all about how you mix it

With our unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, we have revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling.

Regular test wins confirm the measureable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance.

A rubber profile between the carcass layers ensures stability

Successfully used in car tires for years, its transition for use in our bicycle tires was only a matter of time. Apex stabilises the tire in turns and is a technology that also makes sense for high-volume bicycle tires.

• a natural rubber profile, set between the carcass layers at the base of the tire
• stiffens the sidewalls, there by minimising the twisting of the tire by the high transverse loads
• stiffer sidewalls that in turn, reduce the risk of punctures and impede the tire from slipping off the rim
• destined for Downhill, Gravity Enduro and Freeride. Low pressure, enhanced grip is made possible without becoming too slack in corners. The risk of punctures decreases significantly.
