Continental Grand Prix 5000 AllSeason TR Road Tyre Black Reflex

You have to be able to rely on your road bike tyres even in rainy weather conditions. The Grand Prix 5000 All Season from Continental is specially made for all-year use. Not only on rides in good weather, but also on wet roads and in cloudy weather, safety is the top priority alongside rolling characteristics. With Black Reflex stripes on the tyre’s sidewall, passive safety is also increased through better visibility in dark light conditions.

The rubber compound and tyre construction of the AllSeason version of the Grand Prix 5000 create the necessary confidence to be fast, safe and comfortable on the road. Even though the AllSeason TR is a bit heavier compared to the Grand Prix 5000 S TR. The combination has a positive effect on rolling resistance, cornering grip and mileage. Two separate carcass layers are used, one of which is unlaid around the bead to over the sidewall. This increases puncture protection, eliminates the need for another sealing rubber layer – and keeps the tyre weight low. Conti's Tubeless Ready tyre is also compatible with hookless rims.

Details:
• Improved grip in wet conditions
• Increased mileage
• Higher sidewall protection
• Better visibility thanks to black reflective stripe *
* Does not meet the certification requirements of the European Standard ECE-R88. Does not have reflective properties according to German road traffic regulations (StVZO).

Technologies:
• TR (Tubeless-Ready)
The user-friendly tubeless-ready system of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR is specially designed for road cycling, easy to install and reliable. A revised bead reliably seals the tyre and provides a good fit on both hooked and hookless rims.
For the first installation, Continental recommends to use at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant (prod. code: 2255637) per tyre. Rotate the tyre or wheel afterwards to distribute the sealant all around. Then inflate the tyre to the maximum recommended pressure. You should check the pressure at regular intervals as well as before your first ride and inflate the tyre if necessary.

• BlackChili Compound
High grip and low rolling resistance are mutually exclusive. Combining both always requires a compromise. For the Grand Prix 5000 S TR, Continental has improved the composition of the well-known Black Chili compound to achieve an optimal balance of stiffness and stability – for a tyre that is optimised for low rolling resistance while being soft enough to offer maximum traction.

• Lazer Grip
To increase grip in fast corners, Continental has given the Grand Prix 5000 S TR a Laser Grip tread pattern on the shoulders. This micro-tread structure is laser-cut into the rubber which makes the tyre good-natured and predictable while cornering.

• Vectran™ Breaker puncture protection
We all want the best possible puncture protection. But no one wants to cycle around with significantly more weight. The Vectran™ Breaker puncture protection insert of Continental’s GP 5000 S bicycle tyre was inspired by the impressive tear resistance of spider silk and consists of a synthetically produced high-tech fibre made of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), which offers enormous resistance. This fibre is finely and densely woven to create an extremely puncture-resistant layer that protects against cuts while adding hardly any weight.

• Active Comfort Technology
The technology integrated in the 3-layer structure of the tyre casing absorbs most of the vibrations and shocks directly where they occur. At the contact point from the tyre to the road. This "actively" increases comfort and improves the cycling experience.
