The user-optimized Tubeless System
The TL technology is specifically designed to offer Tubeless for road cycling demands. Easy to install and reliable in use.
Tubeless Bead
Specifically developed the Tubeless bead seals through its unique shape and provides stable fitting on the rim.
We recommend the usage of corresponding TL-Sealant.
The crucial balance. The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tire 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 tire with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tire roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced.
With our 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 tire, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialing 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 optimized in shape and surface properties. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound are produced exclusively in our German Korbach plant.
CONTINENTAL REVO SEALANT - Revolutionary Sealant!
For years Continental tire sealants have been replacing the spare tire in many vehicles. This technology has now been further enhanced especially to meet the requirements for use in bicycles and tubes.
The ammonium- and protein-free RevoSealant provides reliable sealing for punctures and small cuts without chemically corroding the tire or tube.
The versatile RevoSealant is not only useful for repairs, but can also be used as a preventive measures in tubes, tubular tires, and tubeless tires.
With suitable tires, RevoSealant can also be used as a sealant for the Tubeless Ready systems which are popular on MTB’s. RevoSealant, which is specially optimized for use in Continental cycle tires, can be used in temperatures as low as –20° Celsius. Please carefully follow the accompanying assembly instructions on the right.
Dose: Generally 60-80 ml/tire (Race bike 30-40 ml). Effective ca. 1-6 Months. Thereafter dries to a rubber film. Can be renewed. Only suitable for tubes with a removable valve core. Not effective on large defects (cuts/bursts). Add new sealant every 3-6 months.
