Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700x25 Black Tire

A new era has arrived, now also Tubeless Ready

The best all-round tire in its field takes performance to a new level. Ride faster, with more comfort and better puncture protection. Built to deliver the best!

After 14 years and numerous special editions, the popular GP 4000 has been updated and the GP 5000 was born.
The GP 4000 S II is recognized by all as the class leader, a tire with excellent performance and super reliability. Now, 14 years after the introduction of the first GP 4000, the legendary Continental has been completely redesigned and is better in every single aspect, including the latest Tubeless version.

The GP 5000 S TR is similar to the standard version but adds an air-impermeable layer, a profiled sidewall (with softer rubber for easier mounting) despite a more robust 220 TPI casing. Continental states that the new versions will be the perfect compromise between safety and ease of installation. Continental’s patented Black Chili compound has been updated with a new formula and laser-etched tread to offer even better cornering grip. Continental also claims a more aerodynamic tire surface with reduced turbulence.

Technologies

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless Ready tires can be used both with inner tubes and without, by using a sealant liquid. The revolutionary flexible Tubeless Ready bead allows easy and quick mounting of the tire without an inner tube. All Continental tires in the ProTection and Performance ranges feature Tubeless Ready (RTR) technology.

BlackChili

A unique Continental compound, produced only in Germany, that revolutionizes bicycle tires! The compromise between greater grip and rolling resistance has been taken to the highest levels with the BlackChili Compound. Numerous first places in tests confirm measurable and recordable advantages in the lab and on the road. Next-generation polymers, carbon nanoparticle technology, and fillers guarantee truly unique performance. From downhill MTB tires to time trial bike tires, the ultimate in their respective fields! BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% while offering about 30% better grip compared to active silica compounds. Tires made with BlackChili Compound also offer superior mileage and, unlike multiple compounds, consistent performance from the first to the last kilometer.

Active Comfort

A revolutionary approach to cycling. Active Comfort technology is integrated into the rubber and absorbs vibrations and road irregularities as you pedal.

Lazer Grip

Lazer Grip makes you one with the road. The micro-laser-etched profile extends beyond the tire shoulder and offers unparalleled cornering ability.
