Continental Xynotal Downhill Supersoft TL Ready 29" tyre
Grip to push you beyond the limits
This tyre is perfect for hard, rocky surfaces. With low rolling resistance and contact patch edges that improve traction and braking, you can enjoy a fast, gravity-filled ride with the security of continuous grip when you need it most.
Features
- SuperSoft compound: the softest and most grippy compound in the MTB Gravity range. Especially for downhill and enduro riding, where the main objective is to descend at full speed. Tyres with this compound are intended for cyclists who focus 100% on grip, traction and control. Recommended for use cases with a high percentage of downhill.
- Downhill carcass: The strongest and most reinforced carcass structure in the gravity line.
- Tubeless Ready: The carcass structure is robust and resistant to damage and penetration by foreign objects. The result: versatility, reduced weight and attractive design. In addition, tyres made with this technology can also be used as inner tubes.
- E25: also suitable for E-Bikes.
- Real weight: 1296 g (29x2.4).
Technologies
BlackChili
In the research and development laboratories for Continental bicycle tyres in Korbach, Germany, the staff and engineers have been looking for the solution to one of the fundamental problems of tyre construction: the running properties of the rubber compound of a tyre are largely determined by three interacting factors: static friction (grip), rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma is that you improve one of these factors, and in turn, worsen at least one other factor. A tyre with maximum grip wears out faster and rolls slower. If one makes the tyre faster or more durable, then this in turn reduces grip. With the then current highest standard of compound technology, the Activated Silica Compound having already reached a very high standard of compromise, our developers wanted to take compounding to an even higher level. This lead them to venture into new territory, exploring new ways so that in 2005 they made a breakthrough in mixing technology, the first steps to what is now known as Black Chili. This revolutionary compound is based on the latest findings on polymer and other raw material research.
