For your way off-road. For more comfort. For the adventure. Be it the long tour, or the shortcut on your way home. The new gravel Terra series by Continental gets you there. Made to get you over rough and smooth.

BlackChili Compound
The Gretchen question of cycling. The running properties of a tyre's rubber compound are largely determined by three interacting factors - static friction, rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: If one of these factors is improved, at least one other factor deteriorates. A tyre with maximum grip will wear faster and roll slower. If the tyre is made faster or more durable, its grip is reduced again.

With the BlackChili Compound, a tread compound that is always based on the latest findings in polymer and raw materials research, Continental has provided the cycling scene with a lasting answer. Depending on the area of application of a tyre, the compound formulation is specifically adjusted - whether for road bikes or mountain bikes, time trials or downhill. For BlackChili, Continental refines special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to produce particularly high-performance tread compounds. Soot particles are then added to these mixtures, which in turn are optimized in shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound are produced exclusively in Korbach.

ProTection
ProTection technology gives tyres the perfect blend of smooth running, grip and puncture protection. This is made possible by an additional, all-round puncture protection layer, which makes the entire tyre particularly resistant and insensitive to injuries. Despite its additional position, the tyre has very good damping properties and iron cleanly over the hardest trails. BlackChili provides the necessary smoothness and grip. Another feature of the ProTection technology from Germany is its tubeless ready capability. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot allows an easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tyre. Continental recommends the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant for optimum sealing and application results.

tubeless ready
Tubeless Ready tires can be driven with or without inner tube, as the tire and rim are designed to seal directly against each other. Compared to UST tires, however, tubeless ready tires are much lighter and therefore air-permeable in the sidewall. This is sealed with special sealing milk. All Continental mountain bike tyres are tubeless ready in the ProTection and performance versions. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot allows an easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tyre. For optimum sealing and application results, we recommend the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant .

When mounted correctly, the system is relatively airtight and less sensitive to snake bites than folding or wire tyres. Especially voluminous mountain bike tyres benefit from this design. Tubeless Ready tires can be driven with lower operating pressure. The risk of breakdowns is considerably lower because there is no hose that can penetrate. Even the "wandering" of the tyre on the rim has no consequences. It also improves off-road grip, comfort and rolling resistance.
