A new era has arrived
The best tyre in its class takes performance to a new level. Ride faster, with greater comfort and better puncture protection. Built to perform!
After 14 years and numerous special editions, the popular GP 4000 has been updated, giving rise to the GP 5000 .
The GP 4000 S II is widely recognised as best in class, a high-performance, highly reliable tyre. Now, 14 years after the first GP 4000 was introduced, the legendary Continental has been completely redesigned and improved in every area. Continental claims 12% less rolling resistance for the 5000, 20% more puncture protection and 10% less weight, with a smoother, more comfortable ride. The Black Chili compound patented by Continental has been updated with a new formula and laser-etched tread to further improve cornering grip. Continental also claims a more aerodynamic tyre surface with less turbulence.
Technologies
Active Comfort
A revolutionary approach to cycling. Active Comfort technology is integrated into the rubber and absorbs vibrations and irregularities in the road you are riding on.
Lazer Grip
Lazer Grip makes you one with the road. The micro laser-structured tread profile extends beyond the tyre's shoulder and offers unparalleled cornering ability.
BlackChili
A unique Continental compound, made only in Germany, that revolutionises bicycle tyres! BlackChili Compound takes the balance between greater grip and rolling resistance to the highest level. Numerous first places in tests confirm the benefits that can be measured and recorded in the laboratory and in the field. New-generation polymers, carbon particles produced using nanotechnology and fillers ensure truly unique performance. From the MTB downhill tyre to the time trial bike tyre, the ultimate within its respective area of use! BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% while offering approximately 30% more grip than activated silica compounds. Tyres made with BlackChili Compound also offer higher mileage and, unlike multiple compounds, consistent performance from the first kilometre to the last.
Vectran Breaker
Vectran is a liquid polymer yarn that is transformed into a thermoplastic, multifilament compound. This semi-crystalline material is harder than aramid, has five times the tensile strength of steel and is also lighter than an equivalent nylon thread. Vectran retains its properties even in the most challenging weather conditions.
Founded in Hanover in 1871, Continental is still based in the German city today. For cyclists, it makes tires and inner tubes for road, gravel, mountain biking and urban riding. Its connection with bicycles goes back to its early days: in 1892, it became the first German company to produce pneumatic bicycle tires.
