Vectran™ Breaker
Black Chili Compound
The rolling properties of the Black Chili rubber compound balance grip, rolling resistance, and mileage. Using advanced synthetic and natural rubbers mixed with optimised soot particles, this compound provides maximum grip without sacrificing speed or durability.
Vectran™ Breaker
Vectran™ is spun from liquid crystal polymer to produce a thermoplastic, multi-thread yarn. This fabric is more cut-resistant than aramide and five times stronger than steel, offering superior protection against punctures without compromising rolling efficiency.
Lazer Grip
The lazered micro-profile expands over the tyre shoulder to improve cornering precision and feel, giving riders better control on curves and fast turns.
Active Comfort Technology
Embedded in the tyre construction, Active Comfort absorbs vibrations from the road, smoothing out your ride and improving comfort over long distances.
The Continental GP5000 Tyre combines these advanced technologies to deliver a race-level ride for both competitive and recreational cyclists.
Tube Type Benefits
This tube type tyre is ideal for riders who prefer inner tubes over tubeless setups. Tube type tyres are easier to install, widely compatible with standard 700c rims, and provide reliable, consistent performance for road cyclists. We stock innertubes on our website for this product, including Continental tubes.
Performance & Ride Feel
Thanks to Continental’s advanced casing construction, the Continental GP5000 Tyre reduces road buzz, improves grip in wet and dry conditions, and maintains class-leading rolling efficiency. Riders immediately notice a more responsive bike during acceleration, climbing, or sprinting.
Sizes & Compatibility
The GP5000 is available in popular 700c road bike sizes, making it suitable for most modern road bikes. It is compatible with standard clincher rims and all quality inner tubes. Always verify frame and rim clearance before selecting tyre width.
