CONTINENTAL GP 5000 Timetrial TR

CONTINENTAL GP5000 TT TR TIRE (TIME TRIAL - TUBELESS READY)

Filipo Ganna, double time trial world champion and hour record holder, proves to be the ideal collaborator for the development of a tire specialized in time trials. In partnership with Daniel Bigham, British racing cyclist and aerodynamic engineer, Continental has made significant improvements to the TT. Weighing 35 grams less in 25 mm compared to the Grand Prix 5000 S TR, this tire is a real technological feat.

This new tyre, like the brand's other models, is compatible with rims without hooks (max. 5 bars like the AS) and is also Tubeless. According to the firm, the ideal assembly to improve rolling resistance is to use a 28 mm tire at the rear and a 25 mm at the front, with both sections available.

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT TR is exclusively offered in black sidewalls, and uses the BlackChili compound for the rubber, as well as liquid crystal polymers and Vectran for the anti-puncture reinforcement (five times more resistant to tearing than a nylon carcass). As on the AS, the Lazer grip allows better cornering, while the Active comfort ensures effective vibration filtration.

Continental announces an extremely light weight (for a Tubeless tyre) of only 220 g!
