Description: Continental's GP5000 brings improvements to the very successful and popular GP4000S II, a road bike tyre one of the best all-round cycling tyres ever made. Improving on such a widely respected tyre might have seemed like a daunting task. But the tyre-making giants stayed true to their reputation of continually innovating, and have produced a lighter, grippier, quicker tyre which also offers better puncture resistance than its predecessor. Note, this is an individual tyre, we also sell the GP5000 in a twin pack. The Hot Compound Continental are famed for their Black Chili rubber compound, which can be manipulated to suit the needs of a specific tyre. Compared to the Grand Prix 5000's predecessor, the tyre makers have been able lower weight by 10 grams in a 25 mm width, reduce rolling resistance by 12%, and increase puncture protection and durability by 20%. Cornering ability has also been improved thanks to the brand's proprietary Laser Grip Technology. This bit of tech creates a micro tread pattern over the shoulder of the tyre, meaning the GP5000 allows you to confidently nail any corner. Faster, Smoother, More Comfort Gone are the days in which it was thought that rattling around on a rock-hard 18 mm tyre was fast; it's now known that a more comfortable tyre can be a faster tyre. That's why Continental offers the GP5000 up to 32 mm in width. It's also constructed with Active Comfort Technology which helps to iron out those bumps and shocks you'll inevitably encounter on the roads. Lining the tyre is an ultra-lightweight and tear-resistant fibre called Vectran. With these fancy fibres the GP5000 offers incredible puncture protection, not only for race-oriented tyre but for a tyre regardless. So, whether you exclusively train on silky smooth tarmac in Majorca or race the cobbles of Belgium, you can be confident you have a tyre that will out-perform the competition whatever the condition.

Review: I have a pair of Mavic Cosmic Carbon's. A pretty common rim. Turns out the GP5000TL is pretty much impossible to fit. Took two of us to get the front one on after a couple of hours of trying. Rear was even tighter somehow so I took it to a bike shop. Took two mechanics an hour to get it on. Success...I thought. I was wrong. Neither tyre would hold air even with sealant. As somebody else has posted, submerging the tyre in water shows air leaking from hundreds of tiny pin holes round the whole circumference of the tyre. I decided I'd had enough and want to return them. Guess what, I can't get them off. Continental's response - yeah we know the Mavic's are basically incompatible. What? But you don't say this anywhere? What am I supposed to do? Send them back to Amazon they say. But I can't get them off!!! Rims now useless. Thanks Continental. Now I have to waste my time pursuing this claim.
