Continental 0196141 Competition 26 x 22 Black Tubular Road Tire with Black Chili is the most reliable choice of all tires in the professional peloton and has proven itself time and time again on the world race circuit. Consistently bringing the top pros to the finish line first, the Competition is the true mark of Continental's racing heritage. Therefore it remains in our line year after year, but always refined. The Competition was one of our first tires with Black Chili compound and is now equipped with Vectran puncture protection. One layer of the cut resistant Vectran under the tread, instead of the two layers of nylon used before, reduces the weight of the new Competition and improves the rolling comfort and the rolling resistance. The Black Chili Compound is a rubber filler material that delivers 30 percent more adhesion to the road, 26 percent lower rolling resistance and five percent improved mileage for the tire.
