The strongest Grand Prix 5000: creates trust in all weather conditions and boosts your protection. Strengths and advantages: More wet grip More mileage More sidewall protection More visibiilty with Reflex BlackChili Compound: It’s all about how you mix it With our unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, we have revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary Black Chili compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance, be it on a road, gravel or a mountain bike, for time trialling or downhill. Active Comfort Technology The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tire construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride. Vectran Breaker: The benchmark in puncture protection Vectran is spun from liquid crystal-polymer. This way a thermoplastic, multiple-thread yarn is created. As a comparison: This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramide and its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel. A Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible and effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker. Without effecting rolling resistance. Lazer Grip: To make you one with the road The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering. Tubeless Ready: Our carcass-construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be set up tubeless or used with an inner tube. For initial mounting we recommend to use at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tire. Then spin the tire (wheel) to spread the Conti RevoSealant inside of the tire and pump to the allowed maximum pressure. Check the pressure before the next ride and adjust to your desired PSI. Hookless compatible, please check table for compatible rims width and max. pressure on the packaging. Reflective Sidewall: REFLEX from 3M is commonly known to be one of the most highly reflective material options. A thin, silver light-reflecting strip on both sidewalls that adds visibility and safety to our city/commuter/urban tires.
