Cycling Plus rated 9/10:
CONTINENTAL'S GATORSKIN IS one of our favourite training tyres. It's very quick and it's tough enough for winter riding, audax and fast commuting - so long as you keep it topped up to its recommended pressure and don't leave flints and the like embedded in the tread. But for those wanting more puncture protection and wear life, Continental has introduced a new Hardshell version. There's a bit more tread rubber, a wider polyester breaker strip under the tread, and a three-ply rather then two-ply polyamide casing to help prevent slashed sidewalls. This adds 48g for our folding 700x23 Hardshell (273g) compared to the equivalent Gatorskin, but in spite of that weight gain we were unable to detect any noticeable difference in rolling resistance between the two tyres even using back-to-back roll-down tests. Among the training tyres we've tested, only the Gatorskin itself and Michelin's excellent Krylion Carbon have been quicker, and while it's early days yet, the Hardshell seems more puncture resistant than either.

Continental Grand Prix (PolyX) Folding Tyre. Weight: 237g. Updated rubber compound and different traction pattern with added Poly X Breaker which is highly resistant to puncture.
Continental Grand Prix (PolyX) Folding Tyre
The renowned Grand Prix has been updated with a new rubber compound and different traction pattern. Known for its extremely long wear, the Grand Prix is a training and racing tyre for all cyclists, from weekend warriors to world champions alike.
Poly X Breaker is a overlapping polyester fiber yielding a very dense fabric with minimal space between each individual thread making Poly X highly resistant to puncture without impeding the rolling resistance.
Black Chili delivers the ultimate combination of tyre characteristics: the smaller particles yield more points of contact with the road surface (offering enhanced grip), are more tightly bound to each other (reducing wear), and the resultant structure is more flexible (lowering rolling resistance).
- Max inflation pressure: 120 PSI
- Weight: 237g
Continental Grand Prix TT Folding Tyre. Weight: 180g. World Time Trial winning tyre in 2011. Ultra fine 330 tpi nylon casing.

- Only 180 grams
- Centre slick running strip for absolute speed in a straight line
- Rougher shoulder tread helps cope with gritty roundabouts and U-turns in TT events
The Grand Prix TT follows in the tracks of the time trial tubular - Podium TT: a pure time trial clincher for serious competitors. Its ambitions are already optically apparent. A slick centre tread profile ensures a few seconds are saved whilst the slightly roughened shoulders give that extra assurance on rougher B road bends. Particularly light thanks to a minimised tread depth and indescribably fast due to the latest "BlackChili Compound". Its Vectran Breaker protects reliably from the threat of punctures and of course it's "Handmade in Germany"!
BlackChili: The fact is that Black Chili will improve our tyres performance in all areas. Conti can even make a tyre to last longer, yet also grip better and roll faster! The figures are astounding; 26% lower rolling resistance, 30% higher grip, and even 5% longer mileage. Black Chili is only made at the factory in Korbach, Germany. No other tyre facility in the world has access to its secrets.
Vectran Breaker: Made from melted Vectra Liquid Crystal Polymer, Vectran is the only LCP fibre in the world, made using a spinning process
Vectran is lightweight, extremely durable, resistant to water, is five times stronger than steel.
Our tyres which include one or sometimes two layers of Vectran under the tread are some of the toughest and lightweight bicycle tyres available
With a layer (breaker) of Vectran under the tread, the tyre is protected from punctures more efficiently than with a Nylon double breaker. This is because a single Vectran layer is lighter, more flexible and stronger than the two nylon layers.

- Rec inflation pressure (psi): 110

Continental GP4000S Folding Road Tyre
The same construction as the GP4000 folding road tyre but with a new BlackChili special compound ideal for folding tyres
Continental GP4000S Folding Tyre - The same construction as the folding GP4000 but with a new BlackChili special compound. The S in the GP4000 stands for sport, special and schwarz the german term for black.
The all black Grand Prix 4000 S catches the eye with its big silver labels. It matches every high-end racebike perfectly and can do more than just look good the GP4000 S really performs.
With the new Black Chili Compound rolling resistance is reduced by 26%, grip is increased by 30% and mileage is increased by 5%.
The new compound:
The carbon filler particles within the rubber compound are reduced to 1/10th of the size of standard carbon particles. This creates a closer knit with the particles having more points of contact with each other, thus forming a tighter bond, (increasing mileage performance) and also with the road (increasing grip). Also the way in which the particles interact with each other has a dramatic effect on reducing rolling resistance. Black Chili is used by several ProTour teams in 2007.
Vectran anti puncture protection:
The all new Vectran breaker belt, developed and patented by Continental, surpasses even the famous puncture resistance of the former leader in this category, the folding GP3000. The extremely strong Vectran fabrics are more flexible and lighter than all other puncture protection materials. Vectran offers more resistance to cuts than Aramid, is five times as strong as steel and features less weight than a nylon double breaker. It also maintains strength in the wet.

Michelin Pro 4 Race Service Course Folding Tyre. New tread compound and profile. 110TPI.
Michelin Pro 4 Race Service Course Folding Tyre
As the only point of contact between the bike and the ground, tyres need to cover all the different conditions that cyclists are likely to encounter, from dry to damp and wet road surfaces. For example, the MICHELIN PRO4 Service Course improves cornering speed* in the wet by 16 percent. In addition to delivering enhanced speed and safety, it also provides outstanding protection against cuts and features new dual-compound technology. As a consequence, the MICHELIN PRO4 Service Course considerably extends tyre life** and stands out as a new benchmark.
MICHELIN PRO4 Service Course: performance in all circumstances
The MICHELIN PRO4 Service Course delivers the best trade-off between sports performance and long tyre life. The achievement of the engineers is to have simultaneously enhanced its speed, safety, agility and resistance.
The MICHELIN PRO4 Service Course is not only safer but it is also an average 16 percent faster when cornering on wet road surfaces*.
These improvements were achieved thanks to its optimised dual-compound technology which features:
- Wider lateral bands for optimal grip at all angles of lean
- New compounds incorporating new elastomers and silica for extra grip at the shoulders
- The tyre's new, more pointed profile optimises the contact patch when leaning into corners for extra grip, as well as enhanced agility
- At the same time, the specific compounds employed by the latest dual-compound technology provide superior rigidity for the central part of the MICHELIN PRO4 Service - - Course's tread band - the part of the tyre which is exposed to the biggest constraints - for even longer tyre life
- Resistance to cuts, thanks to the presence of a nylon high-density breaker beneath the tread, considerably reduces the risk of perforation
- 110 TPI fabric

Superfine 220 TPI Nylon Plus casings make these top choice for talented amateurs who value practical usability as well as light weight, speed, and the comfort conferred only by a high-thread-count casing. Diamante Pro Light for extra speed on good roads, reinforced Tech for harsh conditions.
Diamante Pro is an elite racing tyre in advanced, light and flexible 220 TPI Nylon Plus casing. A highly-studied, modern tread design, very light weight, bead-to-bead flat protection, and secure handling set the bar for race-tire performance.
Vittoria has expanded its nylon casing technology with radial casing.
Radial casing is different to conventional casing. The cord plies of radial casing are set at 85° to the direction of travel (from bead to bead) making that the cords deform freely as the tire flexes. In conventional casing, the cords overlap diagonally to the direction of travel, causing more friction between the two plies.
Due to the direction of the cords, the tire gains flexibility resulting in more comfort and grip. Due to flexibility, the width of the tire is reduced by 1mm making it a lighter, more aerodynamic and therefore faster tyre.
Radial casing is the premium of nylon casing technology, exclusive to Vittoria's Diamante tyres.
