Continental GP5000 TT TR Folding Road Tyre 700 x 28c Black

The Continental GP5000 TT TR Folding Road Tyre is the fastest option in the Continental Grand Prix 5000 tubeless tyre family. Made for the pure pursuit of speed, and already proven in both Dan Bigham & Filippo Ganna's successful World Hour Record attempts. The tyre of choice for Team Ineos in all TT and Team TT races. Maximum speed, minimum weight and vectran puncture protection all lead to one thing: race-proven quality. 

Features

• Tubeless: patented carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage from foreign objects. The result: versatility, lower weight, and a super-attractive design. With this design, tyres can be used both tubeless or with an innertube.
• BlackChili Compound: Nanotechnology is used to produce the carbon black particles that are used to reinforce the rubber compound. Conti refine special synthetic rubbers with natural rubber to create high-performance tread mixtures. Tailored for the needs of each tyre, in this case, more speed!
• Lazer Grip: to make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.
• Vectran: The benchmark in puncture protection Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk-like Vectran has enormous tear resistance at a very low weight - Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible, and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
