The Fastest GP 5000 TR for the Pursuit of Speed The new Grand Prix 5000 Time Trial TR in the pursuit of speed - Criterium, Time trial or Triathlon. Te Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT Tubeless‑Ready is Continental's top-tier time-trial tyre, crafted for max speed with minimal weight. Available in 25 mm (~225 g) and 28 mm (~240 g), this tyre features a sleek, race-optimized casing (220 TPI) and two-layer sidewalls to reduce mass without sacrificing strength.
Its Vectran breaker layer provides high cut resistance comparable to steel but remains ultra-light and flexible—ideal for sealed roads. Real-world tests peg its rolling resistance close to top TT tubed tyres, losing only about 2 watts to the tubed GP 5000 S in 25 mm form. Cyclists laud its smooth ride and stability, even when cornering aggressively on deep-section wheels. Tubeless-ready and compatible with both hooked and hookless rims, it’s a no-compromise tyre for racers chasing every watt.
FEATURES
Black Chili Compound - The rolling properties of the rubber compound of a tire are primarily determined by three interacting factors – stiction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [longevity]. 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.
Vectran Breaker - 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.
Lazer Grip - To make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.
Active Comfort Technology - The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tire construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride.
Tubeless Ready - Our 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.
