CONTINENTAL - 700C GRAND PRIX 5000

The new era in cycling. The best allrounder in the field, brought to a whole new performance level.

Ride faster, more comfortable, and with increased puncture protection. Made to make you better.

Vectran Breaker

The benchmark in puncture protection. Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.

Lazer Grip

To make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tyre’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.

Active Comfort Technology (ACT)

The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tyre construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride.

BlackChili Compound

Higher grip, longer mileage, lower rolling resistance!

With our BlackChili Compound, a tread compound which is always based on the latest knowledge of polymers and raw material research, we have supplied the cycling industry with an enduring solution. Depending on the application of a tyre, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing.
