Race-ready tubular performance with grip and puncture protection for the road.
The Continental Competition is an all-round tubular road tyre for riders who want a balance of efficient rolling, comfort and puncture protection. Its race-proven construction combines BlackChili compound with a lightweight Vectran Breaker layer.
BlackChili Compound
Continental’s BlackChili compound is designed to balance grip, rolling performance and wear life. It provides a responsive feel for racing, fast group rides and longer road events.
Vectran Puncture Protection
A lightweight, flexible Vectran Breaker layer helps protect the tyre against cuts and punctures while retaining the supple feel of its tubular construction.
Important Compatibility
This is a tubular tyre. It requires a compatible tubular-specific rim and must be fitted using an appropriate tubular adhesive or tape. It is not suitable for a standard clincher or tubeless rim.
