Although it is abrupt, we received the 2022 -in -house MVP "Best of Brotures Award"!
Thanks to the customers who support me on a daily basis. thank you very much.

Please call me Mr. MVP from now on. This is Miya.

Well today.

Even after a long time blog about tires.

When was the last Kichijoji blog tire introduction?
(I'm sorry that only Instagram has been taken.)

Probably the first time in a few months today, Germany introduces three types of tires of Continental, a tire manufacturer who is well known for its use in F1 and other factors, and has a great trust in the road bike world.

GATOR SKIN ¥ 8,500-

First of all, the "GATOR SKIN" is characteristic of the orange logo.

The weight is 245g for 25C comparison. It's not really heavy, not particularly light. For the time being, it's like that.

The most notable of this product is its overwhelming strength.

GATOR SKIN is a skid master purveyor that the rubber layer on the surface is sharpened as shown in the photo, and the fabric inside the tire is exposed.

The ultra -high durability punk layer unique to Continental is producing such a different dimension durability.

Duraskin! ! ! !

(A unique compounded polyalamide fiber is braided in a lattice)

By joining this duraskin in a large area that covers the tire side to the side of the tire, not only becomes stronger to puncture, but also protects tires from the damage to the tires received by gravel and steps.

The compound (material that forms the rubber layer) itself is hard and strong in polishing, and it also protects you from unexpected punks that occur due to the sidewalk and roadway steps.

Those who want to kid or never want to puncture,
Or want to reduce running costs by reducing the frequency of tire replacement.
Recommended for such people.

The next is this.

Grand PRIX ¥ 6,600-

Continental's middle -sized model, which is the best cospa today.

In a nutshell, "the strength is reasonable, the running is real." (Two words).

Regarding the punk performance, this is also a casing unique to Continental.

Polyx breaker! ! !

(I just want to say)

It is unlikely that if you adopt and manage the air pressure, you will be punctured immediately.

The most notable point about Grand Prix is ​​the technology that is declared the highest specifications in Continental in this price range.

Black chili compound! ! ! ! !

That is installed.

* Generally, the rubber layer of the tire contains materials with different characteristics such as silica and carbon particles.
Since this difference in performance greatly affects grip performance and rolling resistance, each of the tire manufacturers is reducing the performance of this compound every day.

Returning to the main subject, the size of the carbon particles used in this "black chili compound", which is the highest specifications compound of Continental, is about one -tenth of what is used for common tire rubber.・ What is called carbon particles.
By using this nano -carbon particles, you can maximize the suppleness that the rubber has.
(Because the rubber layer is soft, the pressure when the tires are pressed against the road surface, the tires are instantly deformed and fitted according to the shape of the touched object, and they perform the best performance on any road surface. ,very!)

In addition, in order to return to the original shape instantly, it is possible to flexibly respond to changes in the next road surface.
The benefits of a compound with this unusual characteristics greatly reduce the frictional resistance generated between the roads, and the rubber is hard to decrease, but the grip performance is not odd. It is a different dimension of specifications that cannot be complained.

Yes, it has become a little longer, but it looks like that.
This "Black Chile" is a compound that has the impression that it will roll the most among the tires that I have worn so far.

"I want to use Continental, but it's all expensive and it's a bit hard to get out."
Such a person, first try it here.

And here is today's bird.

GRAND PRIX 5000 ¥ 11,000-

Continental's flagship model Grand PRIX 5000 decorates the birds introduced today.

It's an incredibly subjective way,

Seriously no complaints. Everything is perfect.

is.

(Miya doesn't usually have long skids, so I keep wearing this GP5000 before and after.)

For the compound, the black chili mentioned above is standard equipment.
In addition, Continental's outstanding technologies are also installed as soon as they say this.

First is "laser grip".

Special laser irradiation enhances the grip power by engraving fine treads on the tire surface.
By placing only the tire side to the side of the tire, the rolling resistance is suppressed, and the cornering performance is performed by integrating with the road surface in all circumstances.

And casing.

Vector Run ™ is a high -tech chemical fiber that is also used for smartphones and tablet devices that blend into our daily lives.
It is even harder than Kevler ™, which is used for bulletproof vests, and has a lying strength of about 5 times the iron.
In other words, it uses a higher -strength casing than the "GATOR SKIN" and "GRAND PRIX" polyex breakers.

And most surprising is the TPI value as described in the basic specifications.
This TPI value, which is the number that controls the "suppleness" of the tire, is the 330TPI, the strongest lineup.
It is just a different dimension of suppleness.

High acceleration with excellent compound.
Tough casing and high strength.
It is overwhelmingly supple and comfortable.

These elements are the points I recommend the Grand Prix 5000 first.



Extremely talked about low cost bikes that cost less than 100,000 yen, Leader®︎ 721 and CURE
If you customize the tires that are genuine today, the driving performance will explode by that alone.

Conversely, if the tire is low cost or no brand with a full custom body,
That alone makes the driving performance decreased.

To maximize the potential of the body, regardless of whether it is custom
In order to accurately express the taste of different riding comfort depending on the rider, Miya, the custom of this tire, is strongly recommended.

How about actually riding? Please ask questions at the store if you talk about the feeling of such a feeling or the secret story of using it on a blog.
Miya will be happy to respond.

Then.
