Continental’s GP5000 brings improvements to the very successful and popular GP4000S II, a road bike tyre one of the best all-round cycling tyres ever made. Improving on such a widely respected tyre might have seemed like a daunting task. But the tyre-making giants stayed true to their reputation of continually innovating, and have produced a lighter, grippier, quicker tyre which also offers better puncture resistance than its predecessor. Note, this is an individual tyre, we also sell the GP5000 in a twin pack. The Hot Compound Continental are famed for their Black Chili rubber compound, which can be manipulated to suit the needs of a specific tyre. Compared to the Grand Prix 5000's predecessor, the tyre makers have been able lower weight by 10 grams in a 25 mm width, reduce rolling resistance by 12%, and increase puncture protection and durability by 20%. Cornering ability has also been improved thanks to the brand's proprietary Laser Grip Technology. This bit of tech creates a micro tread pattern over the shoulder of the tyre, meaning the GP5000 allows you to confidently nail any corner. Faster, Smoother, More Comfort Gone are the days in which it was thought that rattling around on a rock-hard 18 mm tyre was fast; it's now known that a more comfortable tyre can be a faster tyre. That's why Continental offers the GP5000 up to 32 mm in width. It's also constructed with Active Comfort Technology which helps to iron out those bumps and shocks you'll inevitably encounter on the roads. Lining the tyre is an ultra-lightweight and tear-resistant fibre called Vectran. With these fancy fibres the GP5000 offers incredible puncture protection, not only for race-oriented tyre but for a tyre regardless. So, whether you exclusively train on silky smooth tarmac in Majorca or race the cobbles of Belgium, you can be confident you have a tyre that will out-perform the competition whatever the condition. Product Features Handmade clincher tyre Proprietary Black Chili compound for added grip, higher durability and 12% lower rolling resistance Active comfort technology for vibration damping and increased rider comfort Vectran protection shield for higher puncture protection and a 20% increase in durability Laser grip technology, expands tread over the shoulder of the tyre for added grip Weight: 650b x 28mm - 205 grams 700 x 23mm - 205 grams 700 x 25mm - 220 grams 700 x 28mm - 250 grams 700 x 30mm - 255 grams 700 x 32mm - 295 grams
This mountain bike (MTB) tyre is specifically engineered for conquering your way across hardpack and dry terrain conditions. It features an Endurance compound with balance properties on grip and endurance. With the Endurance compound a high durability in combination with good rolling resistance and grip is achieved. This makes it a compound choice for trail riding or as an endurance-focused compound for electric mountain bike (E-MTBs). Coming equipped with angled in-line shoulder studs for predictable and indulgent transitions, a high limit range can be reached predictably and safely. Continental has also added a pronounced positive profile with a large number of contact areas, so you can benefit from harmonious riding behaviour and high grip on hard and slightly loose surfaces. In addition, its pronounced ramps in the direction of rotation ensure harmonious and easy rolling, allowing for low rolling resistance and improved grip on hard surfaces. MTB Tyre with Trail Casing This MTB tyre comes kitted out with a Trail Casing, which offers comparable performance to the Enduro Casing and is tailored for trail use cases and it includes a PT layer. Another highlight is its tubeless ready technology, which allows you to benefit from tubeless advantages such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased comfort, stability and fewer risks of flats or punctures.

Vectran™ Breaker Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk, like Vectran, has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight – exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bike tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance. BlackChili Compound Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage.
