"Black Chili is the name for our new compound for road & MTB race tyres. Using carbon nano particles, we are able to make a softer compound on any given tyre without sacrificing the wear rate of the tread. Each particle of the filler agent (carbon) is only 1/10th of the size of standard carbon black particles. To give you an idea of their size, our Black Chili particles are the same size in relation to a soccer ball, as the soccer ball would be to the earth. Nano Compounds are used in the following tyres: Grand Prix 4000 (black), GP Supersonic, Digga, SpeedKing Supersonic, Explorer Supersonic"
