Previously released as a Limited Edition 25mm tire in celebration of the 2022 Tour de France, the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR will now be available in 28mm. The ultimate speed-focussed tubeless ready bicycle tyre, the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR gives racing cyclists the lowest possible weight and coefficient of rolling resistance thanks to optimised tread thickness and construction to reduce material deformation at the contact point between road and tyre. Uniquely for speed-focussed performance tyres, the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR includes optimised puncture protection and tear resistance.
Developed in an ongoing partnership with the world’s fastest pro cyclists and proven by Dan Bigham and Fillipo Ganna during their Hour Records in 2022, the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR is 35 grams lighter in 25-622 than the equivalent size Continental’s Grand Prix 5000 S TR. As with every Continental Grand Prix 5000 tyre in 25-622, the new Grand Prix 5000 TT TR tyre is hookless compatible up to 21 TSS and tubeless ready, giving racers the freedom to choose their preferred tyre setup. In 28-622 the tyre is hookless compatible up to 25 TSS, weighing in at 235g. A pairing of 25-622 for the front tire and 28-622 for the rear tyre provides the lowest overall rolling resistance and greatest racing performance.
Available exclusively in the black sidewall colourway, the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR utilises Continental’s unique BlackChili Compound for the ultimate balance of rolling resistance and grip; Vectran Breaker liquid crystal-polymers for puncture protection and five-times greater tear resistance than a comparable nylon breaker; Lazer Grip expanding profile structure for outstanding cornering; and Active Comfort Technology for vibration absorption to smoothen the ride.
Oliver Anhuth, Head of Marketing TwoWheel Tires, Continental, said: “We are excited to roll out the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR for racers and teams as a permanent addition to the Grand Prix 5000 TR range. Riders now have the opportunity to choose the perfect tyre for their race tactics – whether they’re chasing a personal best, a sprint finish or a world record.”
