Continental Der Kaiser 2,4 Projekt 27,5x2,4 (60-584) 1000g

Product detailed description

An adaptable downhill tire which grips any terrain in search for the fastest time. Good rolling and durable profile with clearly defined central and outer knobs.   Technology:  BlackChili Compound The crucial balance. The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tyre are primarily determined by three interacting factors – stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity] . The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tyre with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tyre roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced. With BlackChili Compound, a tread compound which is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, we have supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tyre, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing. How does that work? For BlackChili, we refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures we then add soot particles, which in turn are optimised in shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tyres with BlackChili Compound are produced exclusively in German Korbach plant.   APEX Successfully used in car tires for years, its transition for use in 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.
