Pure Grip Compound
Based on the activated silica compound, we worked purposefully towards a compound technology in the performance segment. After intensive development work, the result of Continental's Korbacher research and development department brought about a new compound technology with excellent grip and cross-country skiing properties. The new rubber compound with the self-explanatory name PureGrip ranks behind Continental's BlackChili Compound and is used in performance products in the race and mountain bike segments. Here it ensures long-lasting traction and high mileage of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the production plant in Hefei (Asia).

NyTechBreaker - Performance nylon webbing
The new NyTech puncture protection was developed on the basis of the proven Continental SafetySystem Breaker. Its nylon weave makes it resistant to punctures and cuts like Kevlar-reinforced high-tenacity fibers, but offers lower rolling resistance and reduced weight. The NyTech Breaker ranks between the SafetySystem and the PolyX Breaker as a more effective puncture protection cover in the performance area.
