Continental Grand Prix 5000 Tire 700x23-25-28-30
The replacement of an icon of road tires is here; The GP5000 improves in every facet on the best-selling GP4000SII.
It increases comfort and resistance to punctures (+20%), reducing weight and rolling resistance (-12%).

The new queen of road tires not only inherits all the attributes that have made the GP4000SII a myth, but improves them.
Starting from the technologies already used to date, Continental has managed to optimize them to achieve greater lightness, rollability, comfort and resistance to punctures.
The complex technology of the BlackChili Compound is produced only in the German Korbach plant, because depending on the tire application, the formulation is adjusted specifically for that discipline, to obtain the perfect balance between grip and rolling resistance.
Special synthetic rubbers are refined with proven natural rubber for high-performance blends; Soot particles are added to these mixtures, which in turn are optimized in shape and properties.
The latest polymers, as well as the specially developed carbon black particles, achieve superior adhesion, reducing drag by 12%.
Lazer Grip; The laser micro profile structure expands over the tire sidewalls and provides excellent cornering ability.
Vectran™ is a high-tech synthetic fiber manufactured from a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP) that is processed into a cable made up of several strands; It has enormous tear resistance with a very low weight. It is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than an equivalent nylon reinforcement.
Vectran™ Breaker does not negatively affect rolling resistance.
The new Active Comfort Technology is a layer of cushioning material composed of elastomers, which softens the ride and absorbs vibrations, providing a more comfortable ride and increasing grip.
Finally, it has a 330 tpi triple-layer casing that gives it lightness, resistance and grip.
