Continental Grand Prix 5000 Clincher 28-622 (700x28) Black

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is the successor to the legendary Grand Prix 4000S II road bike tire. In terms of performance, the Grand Prix 5000 surpasses its predecessor. With lower rolling resistance, lower weight and greater comfort, the Grand Prix 4000S II has been dethroned from the throne after a long time.

Equipped with the latest technologies.
The Grand Prix 5000 is equipped with the latest Continental technologies. An updated version of Continental's Black Chilli Compound provides a perfect balance between rolling resistance and grip. With "Lazer Grip Technology", the tread shoulders of the Grand Prix 5000 are rougher. This gives the GP 5000 optimal grip when cornering. This laser tread also improves airflow around the tire for better aerodynamics.

More stability and comfort.
Furthermore, the GP 5000 has a renewed carcass. The new 330 tpi 3-ply construction is stiffer than its predecessor's carcass. This gives the GP 5000 greater stability when cornering and at high speeds. The tire is also equipped with an Active Comfort layer. As the name suggests, Active Comfort ensures a high level of driving comfort. The "Active Comfort layer" has a shock-absorbing effect and dampens road surface vibrations, without compromising rolling resistance. This allows the Grand Prix 5000 to offer a comfortable ride with excellent rolling resistance.

Better puncture protection.
Finally, this Continental tire features an updated version of Continental's Vectran puncture strip. This extra inner layer offers better puncture protection. Continental claims that the risk of punctures has been reduced by 20% compared to its predecessor. In this way Continental contributes significantly to the durability of Grand Prix racing bike tyres. With the Grand Prix 5000, Continental presents the new heir to the throne!

Technologies

Black Chili Compound.
Continental's designers went back to the drawing board to further refine the Grand Prix 4000 SII's Black Chili Compound. And they succeeded! Various test results demonstrate that Continental GP5000 achieves higher scores in terms of rolling resistance, durability and wear resistance.

LazerGrip technology.
Continental has lasered the edges of the Grand Prix 5000. The laser profile adapts optimally to the road surface. In this way, greater grip is achieved when cornering. The difference can be felt at high speed and in the wet!

Active Comfort.
A shock-absorbing layer is applied underneath. This Active Comfort layer attenuates oscillations and vibrations of the road surface. The increased comfort allows you to stay in the aerodynamic position for longer. This gives you an unprecedented driving experience.

Vectran Breaker layer.
The Vectran Breaker layer is a protective anti-leak layer under the tread. This band prevents sharp stones, twigs and glass shards from passing through the tire and reaching the inner tube. With this layer you can enjoy greater protection against punctures.

Weight: 215 grams (25 mm tire width)

330tpi, 3-layer construction

10 grams lighter than the Grand Prix 4000S II

The new Black Chili Compound has even lower rolling resistance.

The flexible carcass offers greater stability when cornering and at high speeds.

The laser profile tread on the edge of the tire offers optimal grip on the asphalt.

The Vectran anti-puncture strip protects the tire from cuts caused by sharp objects.

The "Active Comfort" layer has a shock-absorbing effect and dampens road surface vibrations, without negatively affecting rolling resistance.

You need a tire lever to position the last part of the tire on the rim.
