Details
When developing the Grand Prix 5000 road bike tyre, the engineers at Continental have tackled the challenge of developing a worthy successor for the Grand Prix 4000 S II. Not an easy task, as the popular allround tyre still was the reference road bike tyre available.
In addition, the tyre specialists from Germany have launched the Grand Prix 5000 TL – a version for tubeless systems, which now allows you to use the advanced Continental Tubeless technology on your road bike as well.
Tubeless – a true and noticeable advantage
Continental confirms that the Grand Prix 5000 TL offers approx. 5% less rolling resistance compared to the classic folding tyre version for use with tubes. Besides, the lower rolling resistance additionally increases comfort. The special Tubeless Ready Bead ensures an airtight seal between the bead of the tyre and the rim of the wheel. Thus, the Grand Prix 5000 TL is generally compatible with all road bike specific tubeless ready rims and reliably stays in position even under heavy load. Thanks to an additional inner liner, the tyre also provides an airtight seal without adding tyre sealant. Yet, Continental recommends using tubeless sealant (e.g. Continental Revo Sealant prod. code 2255637) to benefit from maximum puncture protection.
All this – and a lot more
Of course, the Grand Prix 5000 TL also features all the proven and important technologies of the standard Continental Grand Grix 5000 (prod. code 2282878) and is thus an equally good allround tyre for competition and training. The tubeless version also comes with the improved Active Comfort Technology embedded in the 3-layer structure of the casing. This technology absorbs vibrations and shocks directly where they occur and thus smoothens your ride.

The user-friendly tubeless system of the Grand Prix 5000 TL is specifically designed for the needs of road cycling. It can be easily mounted and reliably stays in position. A specially developed Tubeless Ready Bead provides an airtight seal and stable hold on the rim. Continental recommends using appropriate TL sealant.
High grip and low rolling resistance are mutually exclusive. The combination of both always requires a compromise. For the development of the Grand Prix 5000, Continental has improved the formula of the proven Black Chili Compound to achieve a perfect balance between stiffness and stability to get a tyre with optimized rolling resistance that is yet soft enough to offer maximum traction
To increase grip in fast-taken corners, Continental has given the Grand Prix 5000 a Laser Grip shoulder tread. This micro tread structure is engraved on the rubber surface with a laser for high forgiveness and control when cornering
Everybody wants it... Maximum puncture resistance. However, nobody wants additional weight. The Vectran™ Breaker puncture protection insert of the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is inspired by enormously tear-resistant spider silk and made of a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre consisting of liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). The resistant, densely woven fibre creates an enormously resistant protective layer against punctures and cuts, without adding a lot of extra weight
The Active Comfort technology is embedded in the 3-layer structure of the casing to absorb vibrations and shocks directly where they occur. At the contact point of the tyre with the road. This increases your comfort “actively” and smoothens your ride.
