Continental Grand Prix 5000S TR 25-622 tire, black (0101866)

Continental's GP 5000S TR is also a tubeless ready road tire suitable for hookless rims. Both the rollability of the tire and the puncture protection have been improved from the previous models, e.g., thanks to the new frame structure. The new two-layer 2/220 tpi frame construction improves the resistance of the sidewalls to cuts, while at the same time being more flexible and therefore rolling better. Also included are familiar proven technologies such as Vectran puncture protection and the Lazer Grip microprofile, which offers unique grip and reliability for cornering.

According to Continental, the novelty is 20% faster, 28% better at side protection and 50-70 grams lighter depending on size.

Vectran is a puncture protection developed and patented by Continental that is lighter, more flexible, and more effective than the corresponding nylon puncture protection. It does not reduce the rolling resistance of the tire. Vectran is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP), like a spider web, and is spun from molten Vectra liquid polymer and further processed into multifilament yarn. Like a spider web, Vectran resists tearing very well, while being light.
