Continental GP 5000 700x28C Folding Tire 0101948 Black Chili Compound

CONTINENTAL Tire Grand Prix 5000 28" | 700 x 28C BlackChili VectranBreaker black/cream

Continental had to develop a worthy successor to the Grand Prix 4000 S II, which continues to lead in performance tests.
The main focus was on reducing rolling resistance, increasing mileage and speed, and improving puncture protection. There is also the added element of comfort, which makes you less tired during each of your laps, whether training or competition. The harmonious combination of all these features not only makes this tyre even better, but also allows you to set new best times.

Handcrafted in Germany
More than 100 years of experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres makes Continental a unique company in the industry. Continental is also the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer that produces in Germany! Continental tyres are hand-made in Germany using unique technologies and materials.

BlackChili Compound
In Conti, BlackChili means above all that grip, rolling resistance and durability are combined to a level that almost makes you believe in magic. Continental uses the latest and best technologies. The latest polymers, carbon black particles optimized down to the nano level and fillers guarantee the unique performance of the BlackChili compound. It has revolutionized the fundamental conflict between grip and rolling resistance. Around 30% more grip and a 26% improvement in rolling resistance compared to the silica compound ensure better performance and safety.
Continental tyres are made entirely from this high-quality rubber compound. This means that the tyres can wear right down to the casing without losing the rubber’s first-class properties!
Once you've used the tyre with Black Chilli you won't want anything else!

Vectran Crusher
Vectran is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber with a natural pattern. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-filament yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran have tremendous tensile strength at very low weight. Higher puncture resistance and lower weight are the advantages of the Vectran breaker. Vectran is more cut-resistant than aramid, has 5 times the tensile strength of steel and is lighter than nylon yarn without affecting rolling resistance. This makes it an ideal protective layer for tires. Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Active Comfort Technology
A revolutionary approach to road cycling. Active Comfort Technology integrated into the tyre structure absorbs vibrations and provides an extraordinary riding experience.

Laser Grip
Let yourself become one with the road. The laser-cut micro tread structure is concentrated in the shoulder area of ​​the tire, giving you more cornering grip.
