Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR (Tubeless Ready) Road Tire

Although the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is still one of the fastest and most popular racing bike tires, it didn't stop the developers of the German manufacturer from launching a tubeless-ready (TR) version that has been improved in all areas.

At first glance, the 5000 S TR can hardly be distinguished from the previous version. However, the familiar Lazer Grip profile structure conceals a completely newly developed structure. In contrast to the previous version, the 5000 S TR only has 2 instead of 3 layers of fabric under the tread. This ensures a better adaptation to the ground and contributes significantly to the reduction in rolling resistance of 20%. Thanks to the Vectran Breaker puncture protection layer and the grippy Black Chili tread adopted from the previous version, the reduced number of layers does not have a negative effect on the puncture protection. The side walls still consist of 3 layers with a newly added protective layer. This not only improves the puncture protection of the sidewalls by 28%, it also ensures that the tire runs more stable at low air pressures. A new, patented tube -less construction that works without a sealing rubber layer makes the tire 50 grams lighter than the previous version.

Long awaited by many Conti fans, the new 5000 S TR is now also compatible with hookless rims. But it can continue with the classic clincher rims and also with tube be driven.

The new tubeless tire has already proven its outstanding properties and versatility in racing. Both the world title in the individual time trial and the victory at Paris-Roubaix could be achieved on the 5000 ST R.
