For BlackChili we refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. We use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tire. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tires with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tires have 26 % less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tires with BlackChili Compound can only be produced exclusively in our German Korbach factory.

With our PolyX Breaker®, we bring our car expertise to the bicycle tire segment: Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tires and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswise. In this way, a very high fabric density is reached which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also especially resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is also not negatively affected by the PolyX Breaker®.

The black reflective stripe is a new development and is used for the first time in this tire. During the day, the reflex stripe hides and is barely visible. As soon as light falls the reflective stripe, it replaces the classic cat eyes.
