Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tyre

Developed for riders who want to ride faster, more comfortable and with increased puncture protection, the Grand Prix 5000 S TR is made to make you better. It features Continental’s prestigious BlackChili compound, which offers high levels of speed, grip and mileage so you can dominate on every mile of road. Another highlight is its Vectran Breaker puncture protection that provides excellent resistance against punctures while keeping weight reduced to a minimum. Coming complete with a tubeless-ready design, this is a great choice of upgrade for enjoying tubeless benefits such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased stability, lower rolling resistance and fewer chances of flats.

Road Bike Tyre with BlackChili Compound

It’s all about how you mix it. With Continental’s unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, the brand has revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound, Continental has answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. Regular test wins confirm the measurable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers, as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials, guarantee unique performance.

Vectran Breaker Puncture Protection

The benchmark in puncture protection Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk-like Vectran has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
