CONTINENTAL GrandPrix 5000, 25-622 folding tires

Continental had to develop a worthy successor to the Grand Prix 4000 S II, which continues to dominate the performance tests.

The main focus was on reducing rolling resistance, increasing mileage and speed, and improving puncture protection. There was also the added comfort aspect, which means you get less tired on every tour, whether for training or competition. The harmonious composition of all these properties not only makes this tire better, but also allows you to set new personal bests.

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! Conti 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 it's 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. Around 30% more grip and 26% better rolling resistance compared to the silica mixture ensure more performance and safety.

Continental tires are made 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 have driven on a tire with Black Chilli you won't want anything else!

Vectran Breaker

Vectran is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber based on nature. 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. Spider silk and Vectran have enormous tear resistance while being extremely lightweight. The advantages of the Vectran breaker are greater puncture resistance and lower weight. 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 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 shocks and ensures a superior riding experience.

Laser Grip

Lets you become one with the road. The lasered micro tread structure concentrates on the shoulder area of ​​the tire and offers you increased cornering grip.
