CONTINENTAL

The Swiss Side developed aero cavities in the patented tread pattern function as vortex generators, creating turbulent airflow on the surface that enables the air to stick to the rim shape of the front wheel. The result is a maximization of the sailing effect by delaying the flow separation from the rim, resulting in the ultimate aero wheel tire system. No matter if chasing personal bests, your friends or competing professionally, the lower drag and even further improved handling will push you to storm ahead.

Although the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is still one of the fastest and most popular road bike tyres, it did not stop the developers of the German manufacturer from launching a tubeless-ready (TR) version that has been improved in all areas.
At first glance, the 5000 S TR can hardly be distinguished from the previous version. However, the familiar Lazer Grip profile structure conceals a completely newly developed structure. In contrast to the previous version, the 5000 S TR has only 2 instead of 3 layers of fabric under the tread. This ensures better adaptation to the ground and contributes significantly to reducing rolling resistance by 20%. Thanks to the Vectran Breaker puncture protection layer and the non-slip Black Chili tread taken from the previous version, the reduced number of layers does not have a negative effect on puncture protection. The sidewalls still consist of 3 layers with a newly added protective layer. This not only improves the puncture protection of the sidewalls by 28%, it also ensures that the tire runs more stable at low air pressures. A new, patented tube construction, which does not require a sealing rubber layer, makes the tire 50 grams lighter than the previous version.
Long awaited by many Conti fans, the new 5000 S TR is now also compatible with hookless rims. However, it can still be ridden with classic clincher rims and also with tube .
The new tubeless tire has already proven its outstanding properties and versatility in racing. Both the world championship title in the individual time trial and the victory at Paris-Roubaix could be achieved on the 5000 ST R.

HANDMADE IN GERMANY
Over 100 years of experience in the development and production of bicycle tires make Continental a unique company in the industry. Continental is also the only German bicycle tire manufacturer with production in Germany! Conti tires are built by hand in Germany using unique technologies and materials.

BLACK CHILLI COMPOUND
At Conti, BlackChili means above all that grip, rolling resistance and durability are combined at a level that makes you almost believe in magic. Continental simply uses the very latest and best technologies. The latest polymers, soot particles and fillers optimized down to the nano range guarantee the unique performance of the BlackChili compound. It revolutionized the basic conflict between grip and rolling resistance. Approx. 30% more grip and a 26% improved rolling resistance compared to the silica compound ensure better performance and safety.
Continental tires consist entirely of this high-quality rubber compound. Thus, the tires can be worn down to the carcass without losing the first-class properties of the rubber!
Anyone who has ever driven a tire with Black Chilli would not want anything else!

VECTRAN BREAKER
Vectran ™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fiber based on a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multifilament yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran ™ have an enormous tear resistance with the lowest weight. A higher puncture resistance and lower weight are the advantages of the Vectran breaker. Vectran is more cut resistant than aramid, 5 times more tensile than steel and lighter than nylon thread without affecting rolling resistance. Thus, it offers the ideal protective layer for the tire. Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries.

TUBELESS
The TL technology is specially designed to adapt tubeless to the demands of road cycling. Easy to assemble and reliable in use. Specially developed, the tubeless foot seals with its shape and ensures a stable hold on the rim.

ACTIVE COMFORT TECHNOLOGY
The revolutionary approach to road cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, the Active Comfort technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding driving experience.

LASER GRIP
Lets you become one with the street. The lasered micro profile structure focuses on the shoulder area of the tire and offers you increased cornering grip.

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.

Continental announces an extremely light weight (for a Tubeless tyre) of only 220 g!
