Continental Grand Prix 5000 Bicycle Tire

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is the successor to the legendary GP4000S II and once again sets the benchmark for high-performance road bike tyres.
Lighter, faster, more comfortable, and with improved puncture protection — this tyre is made for riders who demand the best.

Faster, lighter & more comfortable

Continental has completely redesigned the GP5000 to deliver an outstanding ride experience.
Thanks to the advanced Black Chili Compound, this tyre rolls faster and with lower resistance than its predecessor — without sacrificing grip.
The innovative Active Comfort Layer smooths out road vibrations, allowing you to ride longer in an aerodynamic position and stay comfortable even on rough surfaces.

Exceptional grip — even in the corners

The LazerGrip technology uses laser-cut micro tread on the tyre shoulders to maximize cornering grip and road contact.
Even in wet conditions, the GP5000 remains predictable and secure. The improved aerodynamics make it even more efficient at high speeds.

Reliable puncture protection

The updated Vectran Breaker layer protects against cuts from glass, stones, and other sharp objects.
Continental claims up to 20% better puncture protection compared to the GP4000S II — giving you more confidence on long rides and challenging roads.
