The Continental Grand Prix 5000 (GP5000) BlackChili Folding Tyre represents the pinnacle of cycling tyre innovation, building on 14 years of evolution since the original GP 4000. Designed from the ground up, it offers cyclists a remarkable blend of speed, comfort, and durability. Thanks to its advanced BlackChili Compound, this tyre reduces rolling resistance by 12% compared to its predecessor, allowing you to ride faster with less effort. Its sleek, blacker appearance also enhances grip, providing confident handling across various terrains.
Comfort is elevated through Active Comfort Technology, which absorbs vibrations and smoothens out rough surfaces, making every ride more enjoyable. The Lazer Grip micro profile ensures exceptional cornering stability, while the Vectran Breaker layer boosts puncture protection by 20%, so you can ride with greater peace of mind. At 5g lighter than the previous 4000S II model, the GP5000 balances performance and weight without compromise.
Crafted with a fine 330 TPI construction across three plies, this tyre delivers a responsive and reliable ride, suitable for competitive racing as well as spirited training sessions. Whether you’re chasing personal bests or simply seeking a premium upgrade, the Continental GP5000 is engineered to meet demanding cyclists’ needs.
