Continental Kryptotal Rear Enduro Soft Tyre 27.5x2.40

Description

Optimised for the rear wheel, this all-round tyre balances stability, grip, braking traction and rolling resistance. Ideal for pushing yourself across terrain in any conditions.

Features

• Soft compound: The balance between grip and rolling resistance for gravity-focused riding. A high level of grip with reasonable rolling resistance. Allows you to optimise rear-wheel rolling performance on a DH bike or achieve the optimal combination for Enduro or Trail.

• Enduro casing: Durable single-ply casing construction with Apex to prevent punctures.

• Tubeless Ready: The casing construction is robust and resistant to damage and penetration by foreign objects. The result: versatility, low weight and an attractive design. Tyres made with this technology can also be used with an inner tube.

• E25: suitable for e-bikes.

Technologies

BlackChili
The BlackChili compound is produced exclusively at the Continental factory in Korbach, Germany, and combines the latest polymers with specially developed carbon black particles and fillers. Both cars and bicycles benefit from this technology. Fitted to a bicycle, BlackChili tyres offer riders excellent reliability, whether racing downhill on a mountain bike or riding time trials on a road bike.

Apex
Used successfully in car tyres for years, its move to bicycle tyres was only a matter of time. A natural rubber profile, inserted between the casing layers at the base of the tyre, stiffens the sidewalls, minimising tyre twisting under high lateral loads. Stiffer sidewalls, in turn, reduce the risk of punctures and prevent the tyre from slipping off the rim. At low pressure, grip improves without making cornering too sluggish. The risk of punctures is significantly reduced.

Founded in Hanover in 1871, Continental is still based in the German city today. For cyclists, it makes tires and inner tubes for road, gravel, mountain biking and urban riding. Its connection with bicycles goes back to its early days: in 1892, it became the first German company to produce pneumatic bicycle tires.
