Continental GrandPrix 5000 Folding Tyre 650x25B black/black skin

How to do something even better: the Grand Prix 5000 from Continental

Continental was faced with the difficult task of developing a worthy successor for the Grand Prix 4000 S II - for the tire that continues to dominate the performance tests. The challenge was to top it off with rolling resistance, high mileage, speed and puncture protection.
The developers at Continental have put one special person at the center of these considerations - you. It is simply your time that you spend on the bike. Whether it's for training or competition. Be it in the rain or in the sun, cold or warm. Be it to set a new best time or simply to switch off on the house round.

The best all-rounder in the field on a completely new performance level. Drive faster, more comfortably and even more puncture-proof. Made to make you better. The Grand Prix features an advanced BlackChili compound for lowest rolling resistance, high mileage and maximum wet grip. The LazerGrip lets you become one with the road. With ActiveComfort, the GP 5000 absorbs shocks and provides a superior driving experience. The VectranBreaker is made of a high-tech fibre and now offers even better puncture protection.

Black Chili - The mixture makes the difference
The developers at Continental have revolutionized the cycling scene with the unique tread compound, which is manufactured only in Germany. With the legendary BlackChili Compound, the eternal question of whether grip or rolling resistance could be answered sustainably could be answered. The regular test wins prove the measurable and perceptible advantages for the drivers in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers and specially developed soot particles and fillers guarantee a unique performance.
