2023 Continental GrandPrix Supers road Tire 700x20,2 avail

With the Grand Prix Supersonic, your wheels can be tuned to an absolute minimum weight and rolling resistance. The tire, together with a Race 28 Supersonic tube make up just 205g of your wheel weight!

Its slick tread and black carbon compound make it true eye candy! The Grand Prix Supersonic is undoubtedly the fastest tire option for pure speed performance in racing situations.

With maximum speeds in mind, we dispensed with puncture protection and designed the tyre for just a limited number of racing kilometres. As a result, the Grand Prix Supersonic is not a training tire. It makes top speeds irresistible, but is only recommended for individual races on smooth circuits.

Weight:150g

Size: 700 x 20c

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.
