+12% better rolling resistance (speed) : +20% more puncture protection : -10g lighter (25-622) : improved comfort
Made to celebrate the 2020 Tour de France, Continental have released a second batch of limited edition GP5000 tyres featuring a tan sidewall or as they call it Cream.
Developed over fourteen years the Continental Grand Prix 5000 clincher tyre is the Continental's all-rounder that slots in above their popular GP4000 S II tyre.
The GP5000 is designed to be a class leader for sportive, road racing and wet weather riding.
The tyre compound uses Continental's classic Black Chilli technology, made of all manner of rubber-mixology-magic to strike a perfect balance between rolling resistance and grip.
On the side of the tyre is Continental's new shoulder tread treatment called Lazer Grip.
The tread areas are passed over with a powerful laser, roughing up the surface of the tyre.
This is claimed to improve grip.
The tyre carcass features a 330tpi, 3-ply construction to provide an advanced level of stiffness, improve stability in high-speed cornering and reduce rolling resistance.
The new era in cycling – the best allrounder in the field, brought to a whole new performance level.

Technology:
Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Vectran has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tyre, such as the Grand Prix 5000 as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
Fit the GP 4Season or Top Contact for the ultimate 'under the tread' Vectran protection as they both feature 2 x Vectran layers.
The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tyre’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering. Giving the look of a fully grooved tread pattern yet providing more surface area of tread to grip the road, Lazer Grip marks a new standard in tread pattern technology. The special etching of the lazer into the rubber also gives a more professional and clean finish to the tread surface.
The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tyre construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride. Below the outer BlackChili tread surface, the Active Comfort elastomer controls damping more efficiently.
Coupled with the appropriate tyre pressure, Active Comfort absorbs more of the vibrations from the road surface
This means the tyre can deform more efficiently which also improves grip, puncture protection and speed!
