Continental Grand Prix 5000, 700x25C, folding

The new era in road cycling - the best all-rounder on a completely new level
Grand Prix 5000 vs 4000 S II > 12% better rolling resistance and 20% better puncture protection with less weight and increased comfort
Outstanding puncture protection thanks to Vectran puncture protection insert
Excellent grip, high mileage and efficient rolling thanks to Black Chili Compound

Continental needed to develop a worthy successor to the Grand Prix 4000 S II, which continues to dominate performance tests.
The main focus was on reducing rolling resistance, increasing mileage and speed and improving puncture protection. In addition, the comfort aspect was added, which makes you less tired on each of your tours, whether for training or competition. The harmonious composition of all these features not only makes this tire better, but also enables you to set new record times.


handmade in Germany
Over 100 years of experience in the development and production of bicycle tires make Continental a unique company in the industry. Continental is also the only German bicycle tire manufacturer with production in Germany! Continental tires are built by hand in Germany using unique technologies and materials.

BlackChili Compound
At Conti, BlackChili means above all that grip, rolling resistance and durability are combined at a level that almost makes you believe in magic. Continental simply uses the very latest and best technologies. The latest polymers, carbon black particles optimized down to the nano range and fillers guarantee the unique performance of the BlackChili compound. It revolutionized the basic conflict between grip and rolling resistance. Approximately 30% more grip and a 26% improvement in rolling resistance compared to the silica compound ensure better performance and safety.
Continental tires consist entirely of this high-quality rubber compound. This means that the tires can be worn down to the carcass without losing the first-class properties of the rubber!
Once you've ridden a tire with Black Chilli, you won't want anything else!

Vectran Breaker
Vectran is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber with a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran have enormous tensile strength at very low weight. Higher puncture resistance and lower weight are the advantages of the Vectran breaker. Vectran is more cut-resistant than aramid, 5 times more tensile than steel and lighter than a nylon thread, without affecting rolling resistance. This makes it the ideal protective layer for tires. Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Active Comfort Technology
The revolutionary approach in road cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and ensures an outstanding riding experience.

Laser Grip
Lets you become one with the road. The laser-cut micro tread structure concentrates on the shoulder area of the tire and thus offers you increased cornering grip.
