Continental Xynotal Enduro Soft Folding Tire

The Continental Xynotal Downhill folding tire is the specialist for hardpack and dry conditions. The soft compound provides the perfect balance between rolling resistance and grip. The three-layer 110 TPI carcass offers excellent puncture protection and maximum stability thanks to ProTection layer, TubelessReady technology and Apex stiffening.

Features

Technologies

Downhill carcass
Three layers of carcass material under the tread provide high resistance and puncture protection. Of these two layers of carcass material for suppleness and adaptability.

ProTection-Apex
Enduro is the name of the discipline that has enjoyed increasing popularity for some time. It is the technical challenge of fast, hard descents and strength-sapping climbs. This requires the combination of puncture-proof construction and good rolling characteristics and excellent grip. The proven ProTection- layer protects the tire safely from cuts and punctures without increasing the weight excessively. The additional Apex sidewall stabilization protects the tire even at low tire pressure safely from punctures. For weight optimization, there is also the option of driving the tire together with Conti RevoSealant "Tubeless Ready".

BlackChili Compound
The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tire are primarily determined by three interacting factors – stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity] . The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tire with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tire roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced. With our Black Chili compound, a tread compound which is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, we have supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tire, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing. How does that work? For Black Chili we refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures we then add soot particles, which in turn are optimised in shape and surface properties.

Tubeless
Continental's carcass construction is particularly resistant and insensitive to damage and the penetration of foreign bodies. The result: Your tires are versatile, have a low weight and an attractive design. In addition, the tires with this technology can also be used tubeless or in combination with an inner tube.
