Continental GrandPrix 5000S TR TL Ready Folding Tire

Although the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is still one of the fastest and most popular road bike tyres, it did not 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 design. In contrast to the previous version, the 5000 S TR has only 2 instead of 3 layers of fabric under the tread. This ensures better adaptation to the ground and contributes significantly to reducing rolling resistance by 20%. Thanks to the Vectran Breaker puncture protection layer and the non-slip Black Chili tread taken from the previous version, the reduced number of layers does not have a negative effect on puncture protection. The sidewalls 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 tubeless construction, which does not require a sealing tube 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. However, it can still be ridden with classic clincher rims and also with a tube .

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