Continental Grand Prix 5000 AS TR details and specifications The tread pattern and compound are said to be more effective in wet weather. Then spin the tyre (wheel) to spread the Conti RevoSealant inside of the tyre and pump to the allowed maximum pressure.

Great work - not made it at all clear if they can be used with hooked rims - press release was copied and pasted. Continental says the fastest times on the GP5000 TT TR tyres are achieved when you pair the 25mm at the front with the 28mm at the back. Really easy to fit seem to have good grip and roll like specialzed turbo cotton tires fast and comfortable. Lover of long-distance cycling, Suvi is easily convinced to join any rides and events that cover over 100km, and ideally, plenty of cake and coffee stops.

Depending on the application of a tire, we adjust the compound formulation for the specific discipline – for road or mountain biking, time trialling or downhill racing. With the AS TR, Continental has paired the speed of the Grand Prix 5000 and the longevity and protection of the Grand Prix 4 Season.

Use the formula: RR (Watts) = CRR * speed (m/s) * load (N) to calculate rolling resistance at a given speed and load. The tread thickness and construction are intended to reduce the tyre's material deformation, offering a lower rolling resistance. A Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than comparable nylon breakers.Please note that if you reject them, you may not be able to use all the functionalities of the site. Lighter, Faster and with stronger sidewalls… The new standard in road tubeless ready technology – now compatible with hookless rims. And then, why not a tougher version for those who want to go fast on less than ideal roads or compacted gravel that would/could result in punctures if running the standard version of the tyre.

I know 'capitalism' and 'if peope will pay it' and all but the % increase seems a bit of a mickey take even with Brexit and material costs taken into account. Conti says it is infused with Vectran Breaker liquid crystal polymers for puncture protection and tear resistance and there is also a Lazer Grip expanding profile structure designed for precise cornering and Active Comfort Technology for vibration absorption built into the rubber. For comparison, this semi-crystalline fabric is more cut resistant than aramid and has five times the tensile strength of steel. I emerged with two significant cuts (one to each tyre), with one requiring the removal of some embedded flint.We're really impressed by the performance of the Grand Prix 5000 AllSeason TR, as it offers extreme wet grip while only rolling marginally slower. Vectran is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread.
