A new era has arrived

The best tire in its field takes performance to a new level. Ride faster, with more comfort and better puncture protection. Built to deliver the best!

After 14 years and numerous special editions, the popular GP 4000 has been updated and the GP 5000 was born.
The GP 4000 S II is recognized by all as the class leader, a tire with excellent performance and super reliable. Now, 14 years after the introduction of the first GP 4000, the legendary Continental has been completely redesigned and is better in every single aspect. Continental claims 12% less rolling resistance for the 5000, 20% more puncture protection, and 10% less weight, offering a smoother and more comfortable ride. Continental’s patented Black Chili compound has been updated with a new formula and laser-etched tread to provide even better cornering grip.

Technologies

Active Comfort

A revolutionary approach to cycling. Active Comfort technology is integrated into the rubber and absorbs vibrations and road irregularities as you pedal.

Lazer Grip

Lazer Grip makes you one with the road. The micro-laser-structured profile extends beyond the tire shoulder and offers unparalleled cornering capability.

BlackChili

A unique Continental compound, produced only in Germany, that revolutionizes bicycle tires! The compromise between greater grip and rolling resistance has been pushed to the highest levels with the BlackChili Compound. Numerous first-place finishes in tests confirm measurable and recordable advantages in the lab and in the field. Next-generation polymers, carbon nanoparticle technology, and fillers guarantee truly unique performance. From downhill MTB tires to time trial bike tires, in their respective fields, the ultimate! BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26% while offering approximately 30% superior grip compared to active silica compounds. Tires made with BlackChili Compound also offer superior mileage and, unlike multiple compounds, consistent performance from the first to the last kilometer.

Vectran Breaker

Vectran is a liquid polymer yarn that transforms into a thermoplastic multifilament compound. This semicrystalline material is harder than aramid, has five times the tensile strength of steel, and is also lighter than an equivalent nylon thread. Vectran maintains its properties even in the most challenging weather conditions.
