Now with Black Chili compound for reduced rolling resistance and increased grip and wear life. This is achieved through the use of smaller carbon particles which have more contact points for less rolling resistance and form more easily around imperfections in the road surface. The smaller particles also fit closer together for longer tread life.

Continental tells us that the Grand Prix Supersonic is the fastest clincher in the world. This featherweight tire offers exceptionally low rolling resistance that rivals that of Continental's renowned tubulars. It combines a super-fine Polyamide casing with ASC Silica tread compound. All Black. 160g (700x23) 145 psi max.

The fastest clincher in the world? Yeah, maybe so! With some concessions made in the puncture protection and durability departments, Conti has made this tire that really feels more like it's gliding that rolling. Sound too risky? Consider a Supersonic front with a Triathlon rear which is similar to the Supersonic, only with a Vectran puncture layer.

I love these things and recommend them for anyone who is willing to sacrafice some durability for the fastest clincher tire I have ever ridden!!!

Used for club rides and all the riding I do. I always carry a spare in case of terminal failure which can happen with any tire , otherwise I think they are sweet. Great climbing clincher.
