Puncture protection and mileage are the strengths of Hardshell-ProTection. A wider PolyX Breaker®, the specialist against punctures under the tread centre and shoulders provides for great reliability. The threeply – each layer with 60 TPI – carcass covers the entyre tire and makes it a real bastion against urban detritus. The outer sidewalls of the tire are reinforced with DuraSkin® fabric providing even more reliablility due to the casing being so well protected. Hardshell tires are the puncture-resistant flagship amongst racing tires – produced exclusively in Germany.

CONTINENTAL GP5000 TT TR TIRE (TIME TRIAL - TUBELESS READY)

Filipo Ganna, double time trial world champion and hour record holder, proves to be the ideal collaborator for the development of a tire specialized in time trials. In partnership with Daniel Bigham, British racing cyclist and aerodynamic engineer, Continental has made significant improvements to the TT. Weighing 35 grams less in 25 mm compared to the Grand Prix 5000 S TR, this tire is a real technological feat.

This new tyre, like the brand's other models, is compatible with rims without hooks (max. 5 bars like the AS) and is also Tubeless. According to the firm, the ideal assembly to improve rolling resistance is to use a 28 mm tire at the rear and a 25 mm at the front, with both sections available.

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT TR is exclusively offered in black sidewalls, and uses the BlackChili compound for the rubber, as well as liquid crystal polymers and Vectran for the anti-puncture reinforcement (five times more resistant to tearing than a nylon carcass). As on the AS, the Lazer grip allows better cornering, while the Active comfort ensures effective vibration filtration.
