Taking the fantastic road performance of the GP4000 tyre and making it even better, this Grand Prix 5000 model utilises modern tyre technology to deliver their best road tyre yet. Constructed from Continental's legendary BlackChili compound, unparalleled grip and balance are assured, with strenuous lab and road testing showing tangible advantages to the modern cyclist. Ultra-Performance Road Race Tyre Equipped with other stunning advances including it's impact-absorbing Active Comfort build, a Lazer Grip micro profile along the outer edge for improved cornering grip and Vectran Breaker puncture protection - performance, rolling and reliability is taken to new levels by this unrivalled update. The Stans tyre Sealant prevents flats and slow leaks and works with all valves that have removable valve cores. Technologies: BlackChili Compound: Continental refines newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. The GP5000 uses these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimised in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. 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. 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. Active Comfort Technology: The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tire construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride. Lazer Grip: Lazer Grip, to make you one with the road. The lasered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.
The superfast Continental Race King wire tyre is a genuine race tyre with greater puncture protection than the previous Supersonic model yet without any significant weight penalty - a serious option for cross country (XC) racers. The PUREGRIP compound works its wonders on fast-paced technical World Cup tracks and the toughest trails. Impressive in XC races and marathons, for hardtails and full suspension race bikes, its low rolling tread pattern keeps your speed up through the turns and straights. When the trails are dry, this model is faster, cleaner and safer with a rolling resistance that is almost on a par with semi-slick tyres. If you’re looking for a fast, reliable tyre the Continental Race King mountain bike (MTB) tyre is an easy choice.
BlackChili Compound This tyre compound sits at the highest level of MTB rubber tyre compounds. Featuring the perfect balance between speed, grip and lifespan while far exceeding what other brands and models on the market can offer in terms of performance. ProTection Casing This technology is the ultimate combination of smooth-rolling performance, grip and puncture protection, and has been optimised to ensure it is the best available. Featuring an additional all-around puncture protection layer, from bead to bead. It is exceptionally durable and non-reactive to terrain damage, it just keeps rolling and rolling through whatever is desired and does not falter in performance no matter how demanding the trail becomes.
As used by Irina Kalentieva who won two World Championships on Race King tyres as well as countless other wins, this folding MTB tyre offers amazingly fast and smooth performance on every ride. It features Continental's PureGrip compound that provides great grip, high durability and excellent mileage. Ready for any off-road situation, it also comes equipped with SheildWall technology for fantastic puncture protection on your MTB adventures. Technologies: PureGrip: Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at our Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name “PureGrip”, is ranked just behind our BlackChili Compound and is being used in our performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei (Asia). SheildWall System: The ShieldWall system combines the optimum combination of high puncture protection and the low rolling resistance with low weight. This is made possible by an additional, all-round puncture protection layer, which consists of a finely woven cross fabric. This gives the tire a high resistance to punctures and damage. Despite its additional ply, the tire has a very good damping property and a high degree of flexibility to adapt perfectly to the ground. The revolutionary tubeless ready bead allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tire. For best results in sealing and in use, we recommend the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant.
With its supple 3x180 TPI casing and NyTech breaker puncture protection technology, the Continental Grand Sport Extra Road Bike Tyre is perfect for sportive riders. Bringing you excellent handling, grip and a low rolling resistance this high-performance road tyre is an ideal option for taking on epic spring and autumn sportive rides and long, hard training miles.
