Description

In particular, the GP5000 is widely considered to be the best allrounder in the field! This latest version brings a whole new performance level. The GP5000 is now faster, more comfortable, and has increased puncture protection.

The latest incarnation of the Continental GP5000 clincher sports both the Black Chili Compound. The companies very successful Vectran Technology. Plus 2 new advancements

  • GP5000 Black Chili Compound: This reduces rolling resistance by 26%. Increases grip by 30% and as a result, the mileage by 5%.
  • GP5000 Vectran Technology: Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP) that is spun from a melted liquid polymer called Vectr. After that, it’s processed further in to a multi-strand thread. Vectran, like Spider silk, has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight. Therefore, it’s perfect as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts. In addition, rolling resistance is not adversely affected.

  • GP5000 Active comfort Technology. This revolutionary approach for performance tyres cycling. Embedded in the tyre construction, it helps to absorb vibrations to smooth your ride.
