Known for its perfect balance of speed, grip and puncture protection – it's no wonder it's the choice of the best professional road cyclists in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn icon of modern racing.

The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. A tire with maximum grip wears quicker and rolls more slowly. If you then make a tire roll faster and more durable, grip, in turn, is reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith our Black Chili 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 tire, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does that work? For Black Chili we refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to high-performance tread mixtures. To these mixtures we then add soot particles, which in turn are optimised in shape and surface properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVectran™ is spun from liquid crystal-polymer. This way a thermoplastic, multiple-thread yarn is created. As a comparison: This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramide and its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker. Without affecting rolling resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLazer Grip, to make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tire construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend the usage of our Revo-Sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor initial mounting we recommend to use at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tire. Then spin the tire (wheel) to spread the Conti RevoSealant inside of the tire and pump to the allowed maximum pressure. Check the pressure before the next ride and adjust to your desired PSI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility and safety information for tubeless ready tires (XX-C = crochet-type rims [hooked]; XX-TSS = tubeless straight-side rims [hookless]):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.continental-tires.com\/products\/bicycle\/tires\/grand-prix-5000-s-tr\/#accordion-10d99a7487-item-5474f17b2b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVIEW MORE INFO ON WWW.CONTINENTAL-TIRES.COM\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Continental","offers":[{"title":"25c","offer_id":46545983078561,"sku":"TY.0101873","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"28c","offer_id":46545983111329,"sku":"TY.0101874","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30c","offer_id":46545983242401,"sku":"TY.0101875","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"32c","offer_id":46545983275169,"sku":"TY.0101876","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/0106\/7395\/files\/ContinentalGrandPrix5000STRTan.webp?v=1781528526","url":"https:\/\/eastcitycycles.com\/products\/continental-grand-prix-5000-s-tr-tan","provider":"East City Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
