For you this means offering your customers tires with German technology – a tradition since 1871 .
We are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable BlackChili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ breaker anti-puncture technology , both used at the top end of race sport . These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality , and these innovations as well as the ProTection and RaceSport technology for MTB tires , can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – “ Handmade in Germany ”.
