Continental Grand Prix 5000 Tires - Evolution of Excellence
Continental tires are typically so good that their training tires can double as race day as well. The Continental Grand Prix 5000 clincher tire has been in development for many years , and the fact that is has been introduced as an improvement on the already near-perfect GP 4000 goes some way to giving you an idea of just how good these are.
Not needing to reinvent the wheel, Continental has made certain to enhance their technologies like the BlackChili Compound. For the GP 5000, they have included the latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials to make certain this tire rolls like a lightweight cotton casing without that propensity to get flats the second you hit a dent in the road. Comfort is guaranteed by the Active Comfort Technology which absorbs vibrations and smooths out the ride. Meanwhile the Lazer Grip, means that there is a lasered micro profile structure that expands over the tire’s shoulder to provide outstanding cornering.
Vectran Technology in the Continental Grand Prix 5000
One of the prime tasks a tire must accomplish is reduce the likelihood that your ride will be hijacked my unwanted flat tire breaks. Continental solves this problem with their Vectran technology. It is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fiber made from a liquid-crystalline polymer. Light as a spider web, this material is processed into a multi-strand thread that will be woven into the fabric of the tire. Its low weight belies just how difficult it is to tear or puncture. And all this without impacting the rolling resistance.
If you are looking for the longest-wearing, lightest and most reliable tire on the market, then the Continental Grand Prix 5000 clincher tire will ably fill that prescription. Available in 23, 25, 28 and 32C widths.
