Continental DerKaiser 2.5 - The high point for downhillers
Adaptable downhill tyre which grips any terrain in the search for the fastest time rolling and durable profile with clearly defined central and outer knobs. Excellent puncture protection with a continuous two-layer Apex construction. Excellent grip, high mileage and efficient rolling thanks to BlackChili Compound.
A new relationship between grip and rolling resistance
This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in our German factory has revolutionised bicycle tyres. BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26 % and provides 30 % more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tyres with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant ride from the first to the last kilometre.
A rubber profile between the carcass layers ensures stability. For rough rides over rocky ground.
The sidewalls of freeride and downhill tyres are subjected to extraordinarily high loads. A rubber profile between the carcass layers ensures stability. The Apex sits on the tyre bead and reinforces the sidewalls of the tyre. The tyre is thus protected from impact with the rim during rough rides over rocky ground. The tyre stays more upright when cornering. It does not bend over the sides of the rim when subjected to transverse loads, and always stays true to the course.
