85,00 €
Although the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is still one of the fastest and most popular racing bike tires, it did not stop the developers of the German manufacturer from developing one that has been improved in all areas To launch the Tubeless-Ready TR version.
At first glance, the 5000 S TR can hardly be distinguished from the previous version. However, the familiar Lazer Grip profile structure has a completely newly developed structure 5000 S TR only has 2 instead of 3 layers of fabric under the tread. This ensures better adaptation to the surface and contributes significantly to reducing rolling resistance by 20 thanks to the Vectran Breaker puncture protection layer and the non-slip Black Chili tread , the reduced number of layers does not have a negative effect on 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 tubeless construction, which does not require 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. However, it can still be used 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 were achieved on the 5000 ST R.

Vectran Breaker
Vectran ™ is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber based on a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid crystalline polymer LCP. Vectran ™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran ™ have enormous tear resistance at the lowest weight. Greater puncture resistance and lower weight are the advantages of the Vectran Breaker. Vectran is more cut-resistant than aramid, 5 times stronger than steel and lighter than nylon thread, without affecting rolling resistance. It therefore offers the ideal protective layer for the tire. Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Tubeless
The TL technology is specially designed to adapt tubeless to the demands of racing cycling. Easy to assemble and reliable to use. Specially developed, the shape of the tubeless foot provides a particularly tight seal and ensures a stable hold on the rim.
Active Comfort Technology
The revolutionary approach to racing cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding driving experience.
Lazer Grip
lets you become one with the road. The lasered micro profile structure focuses on the shoulder area of the tire and thus offers you increased cornering grip.
NOTE: On hookless rims, the tire pressure must not be higher than 5 bar 73 PSI. Continental recommends using at least 30 ml of suitable tubeless sealant for initial assembly.
