Continental GP5000 Clincher Tyre
Continental GP5000 Clincher Tyre
Improving upon a tyre many consider near perfect is no small feat, yet Continental has done precisely that with the GP5000 Clincher. Compared to its predecessor, the Grand Prix 4000S II, it delivers 12 percent lower rolling resistance, 20 percent greater puncture protection, and a 10-gram reduction in weight for the 25c width. The result is significantly enhanced comfort, faster ride times, and a noticeably smoother roll—whether you are racing or logging training miles. Packed with cutting-edge technology, this tyre is an outstanding choice for discerning riders.
Technology That Grips
Tackle high-speed corners with absolute confidence, thanks to Lazer Grip technology—a micro-profile structure that extends across the tyre’s shoulders for exceptional traction. The legendary BlackChili compound delivers supreme grip, remarkably low rolling resistance, and improved durability, ensuring consistent performance mile after mile. Revolutionary Active Comfort Technology is embedded within the casing to absorb road vibrations, smoothing even the roughest surfaces. Meanwhile, a Vectran Breaker offers outstanding tear resistance, minimising the risk of punctures and keeping you on the road, not by the roadside. All of this is achieved in a remarkably lightweight package, with the 25c version weighing just 215 grams.
